wookie-mouse-gestures

Lightweight jQuery plugin to enable recognizing mouse gestures on DOM elements, e.g. swipe right/left

Usage

Add wookie-gestures.js in the head section like so

<head>
	<!-- required! -->
	<script src='resources/jquery-1.8.2.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
	<script src='resources/wookie-gestures.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
…
</head>

You can use the gesture-function on each jQuery-object like so

$jQ( '.element' ).gesture( 'swipeRight', function( e )
{
	alert( 'what shall we do with the drunken sailor?' );
});

See index.html for a complete example.

  • within 40px vertically
