Answer 1

Very old question, but it can help others who want a simple code to get swap event in JavaScript without any dependency. Hope it will help others.

See script at swipe.js

simple to use in html markup :

<div id="touchsurface1" class="touchsurface" onSwap="touchsurfaceSwap(event)"></div>

Use in Javascript :

touchsurface = document.getElementById('touchsurface2');
touchsurface.addEventListener("swap", function(event){alert('Swaped ' + event.detail.direction + ' at ' + event.target.id);}, false);

Swipe Left Event:

  jQuery( window ).on( "swipeleft", function( event ) 
  {
    hideMenu();
  } );

Swipe Right Event:

jQuery( window ).on( "swiperight", function( event ) 
{
   ShowMenu();
} );
