vue3-touch-hammer

vue3-touch-hammer

Touch events plugin for Vue.js this is a fork of znck/vue-touch branch recWith_and_rewFail

This is a component wrapper for Hammer.js 2.0.

Install

This plugin requires Vue 3.

npm

Available through npm as vue-touch. As this version is currently in BETA, you have to install with the next tag.

npm install vue3-touch-hammer

var VueTouch = require('vue-touch')
Vue.use(VueTouch, {name: 'v-touch'})

You can pass an options object as the second argument, which at the moment accepts one property, name. It's used to define the name of the component that is registered with Vue and defaults to 'v-touch'.

Direct include

You can also directly include it with a <script> tag when you have Vue and Hammer.js already included globally. It will automatically install itself, and will add a global VueTouch.

Usage

Using the <v-touch> component

<!-- Renders a div element by default -->
<v-touch v-on:swipeleft="onSwipeLeft">Swipe me!</v-touch>

<!-- Render as other elements with the 'tag' prop -->
<v-touch tag="a" v-on:tap="onTap">Tap me!</v-touch>

API

Component Events

vue-touch supports all Hammer Events ot of the box, just bind a listener to the component with v-on and vue-touch will setup the Hammer Manager & Recognizer for you.

|Recognizer|Events|Example| |---|----|----|----| |Pan|pan, panstart, panmove, panend, pancancel,
panleft, panright, panup, pandown |v-on:panstart="callback"| |Pinch|pinch, pinchstart, pinchmove,pinchend,
pinchcancel, pinchin, pinchout| v-on:pinchout="callback"| |Press|press, pressup|v-on:pressup="callback"| |Rotate|rotate, rotatestart, rotatemove,
rotateend, rotatecancel, |v-on:rotateend="callback"| |Swipe|swipe, swipeleft, swiperight,
swipeup, swipedown|v-on:swipeleft="callback"| |Tap|tap|v-on:tap="callback"|

Component Props

Event Option Props

You can use the matching *-options props to pass Hammer options such as direction and threshold:

Example

<!-- detect only horizontal pans with a threshold of 100 -->
<v-touch
  v-on:panstart="onPanStart"
  v-bind:pan-options="{ direction: 'horizontal', threshold: 100 }">
</v-touch>

There's one prop per Recognizer available.

Recognizer	Prop
Pan	v-bind:pan-options
Pinch	v-bind:pinch-options
Rotate	v-bind:rotate-options
Swipe	v-bind:swipe-options
Tap	v-bind:tap-options

See Hammer.js documentation for all available options for events.

About Directions:

In the above example, not that we used direction: 'horizontal'. Hammer's directions interface is a little ugly (Hammer['DIRECTION_HORIZONTAL']).

VueTouch keeps that from you and accepts simple strings as directions:

const directions = ['up', 'down', 'left', 'right', 'horizontal', 'vertical', 'all']

recognize-with & require-failure Props

To define which gestures should be recognized together, use recognize-with:

<v-touch
  v-on:pan="handler"
  v-on:swipe="otherHandler"
  recognize-with="{pan: ['swipe' /*, other recognizers*/]}"
/>

If you a recognizer to trigger only if another one failes, use require-failure:

<!--
  the tap handler will only be called if the doubletp recognizer doesn't trigger.
-->
<v-touch
  v-on:tap="handleSingleTap"
  v-on:doubletap="handleDoubleTap"
  require-failure="{tap: ['doubletap']}"
/>

The 'enabled' Prop

Prop	allowed Values
enabled	Boolean or Object (see below)

You can enable and disable all or some of the event recognizers via the enabled prop:

Example

<v-touch
  <!-- enable all recognizers -->
  v-bind:enabled="true"

  <!-- disable all recognizers -->
  v-bind:enabled="false"

  <!-- pass an object to enable and disable recognizers individually -->
  v-bind:enabled="{ pinch: true, rotate: false }"

></v-touch>

The 'options' prop

Hammer accepts a few general options that are normally passed when creating a Hammer instance with new Hammer() or new Hammer.Manager().

In vue-touch, you can pass those options via the options prop:

Prop	allowed Values
options	https://hammerjs.github.io/api/#hammer.defaults

Example

<v-touch options="{ touchAction: 'pan' }" />

Public Component Methods

The component exposes a few convenience methods to enable and disable Recognizers, and check if a recognizer is enabled:

Method	Explanation
disable(event)	disable event's recognizer
enable(event)	disable event's recognizer
toggle(event)	Toogle the 'enable' state of event's recognizer
disableAll()	disable all Recognizers
enableAll()	enable all Recognizers
isEnabled(event)	returns true if Recognizer for event is currently enabled

<template>
  <v-touch ref="tapper" @tap="callback"></v-touch>
</template>
<script>
  export default {
    methods: {
      disableTap() {
        this.$refs.tapper.disable('tap')
      },
      enableTap() {
        this.$refs.tapper.enable('tap')
      }
    }
  }
</script>

Plugin Methods

Global Event Options

You can define global defaults for the builtin recognizers

// change the threshold for all swipe recognizers
VueTouch.config.swipe = {
  threshold: 200
}

Registering Custom Events

You can register custom events with vue-touch.

// example registering a custom doubletap event.
// the `type` indicates the base recognizer to use from Hammer
// all other options are Hammer recognizer options.
VueTouch.registerCustomEvent('doubletap', {
  type: 'tap',
  taps: 2
})

Warning: You have to register your custom events before installing the plugin with Vue.use(VueTouch). VueTouch will log a warning to the console (in dev mode) if you try to do that afterwards, and the event will not work.

This will make it possible to listen for this event on <v-touch>. Additionally, just like for "normal" events, you can pass further options as the corresponding prop.

<v-touch v-on:doubletap="onDoubleTap"></v-touch>
<!-- with local options -->
<v-touch v-on:doubletap="onDoubleTap" v-bind:doubletap-options="{intervall: 250}"></v-touch>

See /example for a multi-event demo. To build it, run npm install && npm run build.

Server-Side Rendering (SSR)

As of the moment of this writing, requiring HammerJS in a non-browser-environment (like during the build process of your SSR bundle) throws an error (hammerjs/hammerjs#1060).

The easiest fix to that is to use a webpack alias (in your server-side(!) webpack copnfiguration) to replace the hammerjs package with a module that just exports a stub, i.e. an empty object. vue-touch comes with such a module, called hammer-ssr.js

alias: {
  'hammerjs$': 'vue-touch/dist/hammer-ssr.js'
}

Once this issue has been resolved HammerJS, this alias is no longer nessessary and can be removed.

The <v-touch> component itself will never try to setup any Hamer Manangers or Recognizers if it detects that it is running in an SSR environment (seeVue.js API docs for vm.$isServer). The component will only render a normal <div> element (or whatever element you defined with the tag prop).

Known Limitations & Bugs

• Curently, changing -options props will not change recogizer settings. The initial values will stay in place until the component is re-created.

TODO

• Support updating recognizer options when props change.
• Find out if e2e tests are possible(contribution welcome)
