Is there a Mobile Touch Event Plugin for jQuery?

Question

I know that jQuery Mobile comes bundled with lots of useful events for mobile devices. However, I don't want to have to include all of the additional plugins that come as part of the entire jQuery Mobile package.

My question is simple:

Has anyone come across a good plugin for stand-alone jQuery that adds touch device events? Something like:

$(this).tap();
$(this).taphold();
$(this).swipeleft();
$(this).swiperight();
$(this).doubletap();

I know that I could write a plugin myself to achieve this, but I don't want to re-invent the wheel if it's already been done...

Answer 1

Just wanted to point out that I eventually wrote my own library for this:

Answer 2

There are some plugins that handle this I've been looking at recently:

• http://jgestures.codeplex.com/
• https://github.com/auchenberg/jquery.touchEvents

Have you already found something that worked for you?
