react-fastclick-alt

react-fastclick

Wrapper div that implements the FastClick logic in its touch events, triggering appropriate click and focus events on its children if it detects a 'tap'.

Deprecation (Updated 1/11/2017)

This isn't needed now that iOS and Android have both eliminated the click delay in their native browsers for pages that can't zoom. CAVEAT: it appears iOS 10 has brought back this issue for mobile web apps added to the home screen :(

Install

npm install --save-dev react-fastclick-alt

Component Usage

Wrap your component in an instance of this component, and it should respond to short taps with immediate click events.

import React, { DOM, PropTypes } from 'react';
import FastClick from 'react-fastclick-alt';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
ReactDOM.render(<FastClick><MyApp/></FastClick>, document.getElementById('app'));

Note this is safe to do even if child components include react-fastclick-alt because a touchend event that triggers a click will not be propagated.

Properties

There are two optional props to this component.

threshold (Number)

How far a touch can move before it can no longer be converted to a click, in px. Defaults to 15px.

timeThreshold (Number)

How long a tap can be held before it can no longer be converted to a click, in milliseconds. Defaults to 125ms.
