> Normalized events for desktop and mobile interactions

[![experimental][stability-experimental]][stability-url]

## Introduction

This module tells you in a consistent manner about the geometry of user interactions, which is perhaps what you really wanted to know when you set out to write a nice graphical interface. All positions are normlized to the inerval `[-1, 1]`, where the left bottom of the element is `[-1, -1]` and the top right is `[1, 1]`.

Mouse buttons and mods are output in the style of [mouse-change](https://github.com/mikolalysenko/mouse-change).

## Example

```javascript
var normalizedInteractionEvents = require('normalized-interaction-events');

normalizedInteractionsEvents({
element: myel
}).on('wheel', function (event) {
console.log(event);
});

// =>
// {
// buttons: 0,
// mods: {
// shift: false,
// alt: false,
// control: false,
// meta: false
// },
// x0: -0.0129,
// y0: -0.923,
// x1: -0.0129,
// y1: -0.923,
// x2: null,
// y2: null,
// x: -0.129,
// y: -0.923,
// dx: -0.0011,
// dy: -0.0038,
// dz: 0,
// zoomx: 1,
// zoomy: 1,
// theta: 0,
// dtheta: 0,
// originalEvent: MouseEvent {isTrusted: true, screenX: 638, …}
// }
```

## Usage

#### `require('normalized-interaction-events')([element])`

Creates an [event-emitter](https://www.npmjs.com/package/event-emitter) to which you may subscribe. `element` defaults to `window`. Event emitter has the following additional methods:

#### `.disable()`
#### `.enable()`

Enable or disable the emitter by attaching/detaching event listeners. Enabled by default.

### Events

The emitter emits the following events:

- `wheel`
- `mousedown`
- `mousemove`
- `mouseup`
- `touchstart`
- `touchmove`
- `touchend`
- `pinchstart`
- `pinchmove`
- `pinchend`

The returned event has the following fields:

- `buttons`: mouse buttons pressed, in the return format of [mouse-change](https://github.com/mikolalysenko/mouse-change).
- `mods`: modifier keys presed, in the return format of [mouse-change](https://github.com/mikolalysenko/mouse-change).
- `x`: current x position. For wheel reflects current mouse position. For pinches, reflects average x position of touches.
- `y`: current y position.
- `x0`: x position of the corresponding start event (e.g. for a pinchmove event reflects the location of pinchstart)
- `y0`: y position of the corresponding start event
- `x1`: x position of the first event
- `y1`: y position of the first event
- `x2`: x position of the second event. `null` for mouse or wheel events of when only one touch is occuring.
- `y2`: y position of the second event. `null` for mouse or wheel events of when only one touch is occuring.
- `active`: Number of active touches. `0` for passive move events. `1` for dragging, wheel, and touch events, `2` for pinch events. Better than using the mouse depressed state for detecting when to assume a drag since you want to be sure that the drag *originated* within the window.
- `dx`: change in x position from previous event. For wheel event returns wheel event deltaX.
- `dy`: change in y position. For wheel event returns wheel event deltaY.
- `dz`: change in z position. For wheel event returns wheel event deltaY. Is zero except for wheel events (where it's still almost certainly zero).
- `zoomx`: horizontal zoom factor relative to previous event. `1` reflects no change. For pinch events only. (Interpreting wheel events as a zoom is left to usage.)
- `zoomy`: vertical zoom factor relative to previous event. `1` reflects no change. For pinch events only.
- `theta`: angle of the second touch relative to the first. Nonzero for pinch events only. View aspect ratio is taken into account when computing.
- `dtheta`: change in angle from previous event.
- `originalEvent`: A reference to the original event. Note that `preventDefault` is *not* called by default.
