propagating-hammerjs

Extend hammer.js v2 with event propagation.

Features

Events emitted by hammer will propagate in order from child to parent elements.
Events are extended with a function event.stopPropagation() to stop propagation to parent elements.
Events are extended with a property event.firstTarget containing the element where a gesture started.
Supports changing and rearranging the HTML DOM on the fly.
Load via commonjs, AMD, or as a plain old JavaScript file.

Install

npm install propagating-hammerjs

Browser

<!DOCTYPE html>

Commonjs (Node.js + Browserify)

var Hammer = require('hammerjs');
var propagating = require('propagating-hammerjs');

function init() {
  var hammer = propagating(new Hammer(element));
}

Use

To extend individual hammer.js instances with event propagation:

var hammer = propagating(new Hammer(element));

To extend the global hammer.js constructor

Hammer = propagating(Hammer);

Examples

Here a basic usage example. More examples are available in the folder /examples.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <script src="node_modules/hammerjs/hammer.js"></script>
  <script src="propagating.js"></script>
  <style>
    div     {border: 1px solid black;}
    #parent {width: 400px; height: 400px; background: lightgreen;}
    #child  {width: 200px; height: 200px; background: yellow; margin: 10px;}
  </style>
</head>
<body>

<div id="parent">
  parent
  <div id="child">
    child
  </div>
</div>

<script>
  var parent = document.getElementById('parent');
  var hammer1 = propagating(new Hammer(parent))
      .on('tap', function (event) {
        alert('tap on parent');
      });

  var child = document.getElementById('child');
  var hammer2 = propagating(new Hammer(child))
      .on('tap', function (event) {
        alert('tap on child');

        // stop propagation from child to parent
        event.stopPropagation();
      });
</script>
</body>
</html>
