## Installation

### Npm
```bash
$ npm install tocca
```

### Bower
```
$ bower install Tocca.js -save
```

## Usage

Include the script into your page:
``` html

```

Once you have included Tocca.js you will be able to catch all the new events:

``` javascript
elm.addEventListener('tap',function(e){});
elm.addEventListener('dbltap',function(e){});
elm.addEventListener('longtap',function(e){});
elm.addEventListener('swipeleft',function(e){});
elm.addEventListener('swiperight',function(e){});
elm.addEventListener('swipeup',function(e){});
elm.addEventListener('swipedown',function(e){});
```

It works with jQuery as well:
``` javascript
$(elm).on('tap',function(e,data){});
$(elm).on('dbltap',function(e,data){});
$(elm).on('longtap',function(e,data){});
$(elm).on('swipeleft',function(e,data){});
$(elm).on('swiperight',function(e,data){});
$(elm).on('swipeup',function(e,data){});
$(elm).on('swipedown',function(e,data){});
```

Tocca.js supports also the inline events if you are using Riot.js!
``` html








```

## API and Examples

Anytime you will use a Tocca.js event the callback function will receive a special event object containing the following properties

- x { Int }: latest x position of pointer at the end of the event
- y { Int }: latest y position of pointer at the end of the event
- originalEvent { Object }: the original javascript native event that has been triggered
- distance: this property is available only for the swipe events
- x { Int }: the x absolute difference between the beginning and the end of the swipe gesture
- y { Int }: the y absolute difference between the beginning and the end of the swipe gesture

Examples:

``` javascript
elm.addEventListener('dbltap',function (e){
console.log(e.x);
console.log(e.y);
});
elm.addEventListener('swipeup',function (e){
console.log(e.x);
console.log(e.y);
console.log(e.distance.x);
console.log(e.distance.y);
});

// with jQuery

$(elm).on('dbltap',function (e,data){
console.log(data.x);
console.log(data.y);
});
$(elm).on('swipeup',function (e,data){
console.log(data.x);
console.log(data.y);
console.log(data.distance.x);
console.log(data.distance.y);
});
```

Anyway you can combine Tocca.js with the default javascript touch events:

- touchmove
- touchstart
- touchend
- touchcancel

To disable the default touch behaviours (zoom on double tap, scroll on swipe...) on a certain element via javascript you can always use the following snippet:

``` javascript
elm.addEventListener('touchmove',function(e){e.preventDefault()});
elm.addEventListener('touchstart',function(e){e.preventDefault()});
elm.addEventListener('touchend',function(e){e.preventDefault()});
```

## Configuration

Whenever you want to configure the plugin events settings you can do that simply specifying two constants before including Tocca.js into the page

``` html

var SWIPE_THRESHOLD = 100, // default value
DBL_TAP_THRESHOLD = 200, // range of time in which a dbltap event could be detected,
LONG_TAP_THRESHOLD = 1000, // range of time after which a longtap event could be detected
TAP_THRESHOLD = 150, // range of time in which a tap event could be detected
TAP_PRECISION = 60 / 2, // default value (touch events boundaries)
JUST_ON_TOUCH_DEVICES = false, // default value ( decide whether you want to use the Tocca.js events only on the touch devices )
IGNORE_JQUERY = false; // default value ( will not use jQuery events, even if jQuery is detected )

```

In Tocca.js 1.1.0 you can also configure/get the internal options via function:
```js
window.tocca({
useJquery: your new option
swipeThreshold: your new option
tapThreshold: your new option
dbltapThreshold: your new option
longtapThreshold: your new option
tapPrecision: your new option
justTouchEvents: your new option
})

console.log(window.tocca()) // will always return the current internal options
```

## Browser Support

Actually the script has been tested on all the modern browsers but it need a better testing phase over several platforms: Chrome 29+ Firefox 23+ Opera 12+ Safari 5+

It works on mobile/tablet browsers and on desktop browsers as well.

On the old browsers all the Tocca.js events cannot be triggered.
