[TW plugin library] - a gesture library in the TW plugin library?

[Simon Huber]

Hello TW devs & maintainers,

I'm using the hammer.js library a lot for different widgets or plugins. It provides/handles gestures like swipe, pan, tap, press, rotate and pinch

If one wants to use them, it requires to get the hammer.js library from one of my widgets/plugins

But that's very inconsistent - say I'd like to pack two different plugins all using that library, I'd have to pack the library twice or refer to the library tiddler from one of my plugins, so that they get that, too

This forces to either use two plugins or just one with a part from another

The TW plugin library already includes the JSZip, XMLDOM and async.js wrappers that are used by some plugins, that's why I'd like to ask:

Could the hammer.js library be included like that?

It could be a different library with similar functionality - though I think hammer.js is pretty stable. But I'd be happy to investigate about the best solution

kind regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,

If you have a closer look, how jszip is implemented, you should be able to use the same mechanism.

TiddlyWiki uses the "commonjs" modul loader convention. The hammer.js checks for this mechanims and should do the right things.

So it should be possible to include hammer.js as a library, that can be used similar too: JSZip = require("$:/plugins/tiddlywiki/jszip/jszip.js") .. as in xlsutils. <- click!

There will be some testing needed. But imo this should be a starting point.

yes, I use it the same 'require("...hammer.js");' way

I've seen that the JSZip plugin contains the license, a description and the minified library without further modifications. That would do it in the hammer.js case, too

There will be some testing needed. But imo this should be a starting point.

I'd test it, sure thing! Beyond the starting point, what else is expected from my point?

Hi Simon

I would support putting hammer.js in the official plugin library; I’m interested in using it for a future development of the DynaView plugin, for example.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Hi Jeremy,

I made a PR here: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/3125, hoping that I did it right
