Gestures for Fitbit

This library allows you to detect different gestures in Fitbit apps. Tested only on Fitbit SDK 5.0

Installation

Install the library with npm i fitbit-gestures or yarn add fitbit-gestures

Gestures

Swipe, Double Tap (More gestures soon)

Usage

You must provide an Element or the ID of an existing element.

Warning

Keep in mind that only one listener can be attached to each element. Attaching multiple detectors to the same element will overwrite the previous ones.

Gesture Detector

For each gesture, you can customize the detectors. View Single Gesture examples below.

import { GestureDetector } from 'fitbit-gestures';

// Get the element. You can also pass the element ID
const element = document.getElementById('screen'); 

const detector = new GestureDetector(element)
    .onSwipe((dir: SWIPE_DIR) => {
      //Do something
    })
    .onDoubleTap(() => {
      //Do something
    });

Single gesture detectors

If you only need one type of gesture, it will be slightly faster to use a dedicated class.

Swipe only

import { SwipeDetector, SWIPE_DIR, SwipeConfig } from 'fitbit-gestures';

// Get the element. You can also pass the element ID as string
const element = document.getElementById('screen');

//OPTIONAL configuration
const swipeConfig: SwipeConfig = {
  threshold: 100
};

const detector = new SwipeDetector(element, onSwipe.bind(this), swipeConfig);

function onSwipe(direction: SWIPE_DIR) {
  if(SWIPE_DIR.DOWN) {
    //Do something
  }
}

Swipe configuration (Optional)

Attribute	Description	Default
threshold	Distance (in pixels) required to trigger the event	100px

DoubleTap only

import { DoubleTapDetector, DoubleTapConfig } from 'fitbit-gestures';

// Get the element. You can also pass the element ID as string
const element = document.getElementById('screen'); 

const doubleTapConfig: DoubleTapConfig = {
  interval: 250
}

const detector = new DoubleTapDetector(element, onDoubleTap.bind(this), doubleTapConfig);

function onDoubleTap() {
  //Do something
}

DoubleTap configuration (Optional)

Attribute	Description	Default
interval	Time (in ms) required to trigger the event	250ms
