Enabling Vertical swipes in hammer.js

[abhishek singh]

Hi guys, I'm trying to detect swipe up and swipe down in hammer.js but I'm unable to do so. I tried entering the line of code from the hammer.js documentation that sets DIRECTION_VERTICAL on swipe but it doesn't seem to be working. The other gestures are working however. Any ideas?I have installed the noorserstorm:hammer package. Thanks!

Hi Abhishek,

It appears that the author of noorserstorm:hammer has stopped maintaining that package. I'm also trying to figure out what to do. In a world that has gone mobile, you'd think that gestures would be built into a system like Meteor. I'm debating using hammer.js and figuring it all out myself, but too busy at the moment.

Please let the group know if you come up with a solution.

To answer your question, though, that package still works . . . here's something I wrote. It runs fine.

Make sure you're correctly calling the div that you're swiping. In my case it's a div with class="headertitle". I'm using the swipe to switch pages with iron router . . . put whatever you like there, it should run fine.

Template.goalsList.events({

  'swipedown .headertitle': function(e) {

    Router.go('logOut');

  }

});

Another gotcha to watch for . . . many libraries use camelCode. Make sure you're using swipedown instead of swipeDown in hammer.

Why would you even consider that package when there's the official hammer:hammer ?

For the laziness of doing meteor add

like

meteor add hammer:hammer ?

Well, I'll be damned. Didn't know there was a hammer:hammer. The noorserstorm was the only one when I put my app together.

Thanks for the heads up.
