Check if click was triggered by touch or click

Question

I have function that works on click

$('#test').click(function(e){
  // some code
});

How can I check if the test element clicked or touched?

Answer 1

You could use one event for the both then detect type of the event triggered :

$('#test').on('touchend click',function(e){
  if(e.type=='click')
      alert('click triggered');
  else
      alert('touch triggered');
});

Hope this helps.
