[announcement] new package for pointer events in elm

[Matthieu Pizenberg]

Hi everyone,

Along my different elm projects I've been using a lot of mouse and touch events. I recently got tired of duplicating the code for both so here is my take on unified pointer events in elm.

mpizenberg/elm-pointer-events [1]

Since PointerEvent inherits from MouseEvent, this is built on top of mpizenberg/elm-mouse-events [2]. The pointer API is not supported on all recent browsers, so I also provide a minimalist polyfill [3] compatible with elm decoders (contrary to JQuery/PEP).

Enjoy!
