How to use touch events without importing a whole mobile-driven JavaScript framework?

I'm working on a responsive design on which I'd like to use two specific touch events, tap and swipe. Is it possible to import a single jQuery Mobile slice (i.e. jquery.mobile.events.js) or a piece of any other mobile-driven JavaScript framework, without importing the entire set of assets? I'm currently using jQuery, just so you know.

You can also just download the module Events.Touch from jQuery Mobile using their download builder http://jquerymobile.com/download-builder/

Just tick the option 'Touch', add the JavaScript file to your project so you can start listening to events such as:

  • touchstart
  • touchmove
  • touchend
  • tap
  • taphold
  • swipe
  • swipeleft
  • swiperight
  • scrollstart
  • scrollstop

ps: You must be using the jQuery library as jQuery mobile runs on top of it.

I just found a solution for my problem: TouchSwipe, a jQuery plugin for touch devices that handles swipe events. Like a boss!

You can use TouchSwipe Jquery plugin, it is the easiest plugin ever when Jquery performed.

https://github.com/mattbryson/TouchSwipe-Jquery-Plugin

$(function() {
  $(".carousel-inner").swipe({
    allowPageScroll:"auto",
    swipe:function(event, direction, distance, duration, fingerCount, fingerData) {
      if(direction == 'left'){
        $(this).parent().carousel('prev');
      }
      else if(direction == 'right') {
        $(this).parent().carousel('next');
      }
    }
  });
});
