swipe jQuery Event

jQuery.event.special.swipe

Event raised after a complete cycle of pointerstart, pointermove, and pointerend in which the velocity (distance of movement / duration between start and end) is greater than a minimum. Useful as a shortcut for an action, though panning can be a better option for realtime, tracked, movement of a touched element.

Bubbles and can be delegated against.

Usage

$(element).on('swipe', function(e){
    // handle event...
});
