angular-gestures

AngularJS directive that adds support for multi touch gestures to your app, based on hammer.js.

Usage

• Include gestures.js or gestures.min.js into your page
• Declare 'angular-gestures' as a dependency for your angular app: angular.module('myApp', ['angular-gestures']);
• Config the recognizers before you use the directive like this: hammerDefaultOptsProvider.set({recognizers: [[Hammer.Tap, {time: 250}]] });
• Use attributes on containers the same way you use ng-click: e.g. hm-tap

  <button hm-tap="add_something()">Tap me</button>

• You can use angular interpolations like this : hm-swipe="remove_something({{ id }})"
• You can also use Hammer.js options by e.g. hm-tap-opts="{hold: false}"

Note that hammer.js is an additional requirement and is not included in angular-gestures.

Event data

Pass the $event object in the usual way e.g. hm-drag="myDrag($event)" then access its internals like so:

$scope.myDrag = function(event) {
    console.log(event.gesture);
}

Refer to the Hammer.js docs for more details on the properties of event.

Supported events

• hmDoubleTap : 'doubletap',
• hmDragstart : 'dragstart',
• hmDrag : 'drag',
• hmDragUp : 'dragup',
• hmDragDown : 'dragdown',
• hmDragLeft : 'dragleft',
• hmDragRight : 'dragright',
• hmDragend : 'dragend',
• hmHold : 'hold',
• hmPinch : 'pinch',
• hmPinchIn : 'pinchin',
• hmPinchOut : 'pinchout',
• hmRelease : 'release',
• hmRotate : 'rotate',
• hmSwipe : 'swipe',
• hmSwipeUp : 'swipeup',
• hmSwipeDown : 'swipedown',
• hmSwipeLeft : 'swipeleft',
• hmSwipeRight : 'swiperight',
• hmTap : 'tap',
• hmTouch : 'touch',
• hmTransformstart : 'transformstart',
• hmTransform : 'transform',
• hmTransformend : 'transformend'

All Hammerjs events are supported. The corresponding Angularjs attribute has hm- prepended to the name. So for example, the 'doubletap' event becomes hm-double-tap etc.

Attention : end and start events are NOT CamelCased because of issues caused by $animate interference.

Default options

To set recognizer default options you can use hammerDefaultOptsProvider. Access it like in the demo:

angular.module('angularGesturesDemoApp', ['angular-gestures', 'ngRoute'])
  .config(function ($routeProvider, hammerDefaultOptsProvider) {
    $routeProvider
      .when('/', {
        templateUrl: 'views/main.html',
        controller: 'MainCtrl'
      })
      .otherwise({
        redirectTo: '/'
      });
    hammerDefaultOptsProvider.set({
        recognizers: [[Hammer.Tap, {time: 250}]]
    });
  });

Bower

If you want to use angular-momentum-scroll with bower, add the following dependency to your component.json

"angular-gestures": "latest"

Require.js/AMD/Node.js

angular-gestures has support for Require.js/AMD/Node.js. When using AMD modules, make sure that you define hammer.js using Hammer, same goes for node.js. If you are not using Require.js/AMD/Node.js, angular-gestures will fall back to using the global Hammer/angular objects.
