What are react-easy-swipe's main functionalities?

Swipe Detection

This feature allows you to detect swipe movements in different directions. The code sample demonstrates how to use the Swipe component to handle swipe left, swipe right, and swipe move events.

```jsx
import React from 'react';
import Swipe from 'react-easy-swipe';

class SwipeComponent extends React.Component {
  onSwipeMove(position, event) {
    console.log('Moved to:', position);
  }

  onSwipeLeft(event) {
    console.log('Swiped left!');
  }

  onSwipeRight(event) {
    console.log('Swiped right!');
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <Swipe
        onSwipeMove={this.onSwipeMove}
        onSwipeLeft={this.onSwipeLeft}
        onSwipeRight={this.onSwipeRight}
      >
        <div style={{ width: '100%', height: '100px', background: 'lightgray' }}>
          Swipe me!
        </div>
      </Swipe>
    );
  }
}

export default SwipeComponent;
```

README

REACT EASY SWIPE

Add swipe interactions to your react component.

• Generated using react-init

Demo

http://leandrowd.github.io/react-easy-swipe/

• Open your console;
• Swipe over the content and check your console;
• This is a touch component so make sure your browser is emulating touch.

Tips:

1. To prevent scroll during swipe, return true from the handler passed to onSwipeMove

2. To allow mouse events to behave like touch, pass a prop allowMouseEvents

3. To prevent accidental swipes on scroll, pass a prop tolerance with the tolerance pixel as number.

Instalation

npm install react-easy-swipe --save

Usage

import React, {Component} from 'react';

  }

  onSwipeMove(position, event) {
    console.log(`Moved ${position.x} pixels horizontally`, event);
    console.log(`Moved ${position.y} pixels vertically`, event);
  }

  onSwipeEnd(event) {
    console.log('End swiping...', event);
