Instantly make your desktop / hybrid apps more responsive on touch devices.
React Fastclick automatically adds fastclick touch events to elements with onClick attributes (and those that require special functionality, such as inputs) to prevent the delay that occurs on some touch devices.
Use npm to install react-fastclick
npm install react-fastclick
Initialize react-fastclick
in your main javascript file before any of your components are created, and you're done.
Now any calls to onClick or elements with special functionality, such as inputs, will have fast touch events added automatically - no need to write any additional listeners.
ES6
import initReactFastclick from 'react-fastclick';
initReactFastclick();
ES5
var initReactFastclick = require('react-fastclick');
initReactFastclick();

{
// Simulate left click
button: 0,
type: 'click',
// Additional key to tell the difference between
// a regular click and a flastclick
fastclick: true,
// From touch positions

On some devices the elements flicker after being touched. This can be prevented by setting the css property -webkit-tap-highlight-color
to transparent.
Either target html, body
(to prevent the flickering on all elements) or target the specific element you don't want to flicker e.g. button
.
html, body {
-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;
}
React Fastclick 3.x.x has been tested with React 15, but should support older versions also.
