Mobile Angular UI - Swipe Gestures
The functionapty pke touch, swipes, dragging items is handled by the gestures module in Mobile Angular UI. The gestures module has a directive and services to take care of the functionapty required in touch, swipe and drag.
To work with gestures features in Mobile Angular UI, you need to add the gestures module.
First add the JavaScript file inside index.html as shown below −
<script src="node_modules/mobile-angular-ui/dist/js/mobile-angular-ui.gestures.min.js"></script>
Later add the gestures module as a dependency in app.js as shown below −
var app=angular.module( myFirstApp , [ ngRoute , mobile-angular-ui , mobile-angular-ui.gestures ]);
We have already discussed how drag functionapty works using the gesture module. Take a look at the same in Drag and Drop Chapter.
Here will take a look at the swipe functionapty.
The directive uiSwipeLeft and uiSwipeRight present helps to detect the direction in which the user has swiped.
Here is a working example on Swipe −

/* espnt no-alert: 0 */ use strict ; // // Here is how to define your module // has dependent on mobile-angular-ui // var app=angular.module( myFirstApp , [ ngRoute , mobile-angular-ui , mobile-angular-ui.gestures ]); app.config(function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) { $routeProvider .when("/", { templateUrl : "src/home/home.html" }); $locationProvider.html5Mode({enabled:true, requireBase:false}); }); app.directive( dragItem , [ $drag , function($drag) { return { controller: function($scope, $element) { $drag.bind($element, { transform: $drag.TRANSLATE_BOTH, end: function(drag) { drag.reset(); } }, { sensitiveArea: $element.parent() } ); } }; }]); app.controller( MainController , function($rootScope, $scope, $routeParams) { $scope.testSwipe=function(direction) { alert( You swiped + direction); }; });
src/home/home.html
<span class="scrollable"> <span class="scrollable-content section" ui-swipe-left="testSwipe( left side )" ui-swipe-right="testSwipe( right side )"> <h2>Testing of Swipe gesture</h2> <span> Swipe left and right to activate the uiSwipeLeft and uiSwipeRight Directive. </span> </span> </span>
Following is the display in the browser −
![Swipe Gestures](/mobile_angular_ui/images/swipe_gestures.jpg)
The directive for swipe are added inside home.html.
<span class="scrollable-content section" ui-swipe-left="testSwipe( left side )" ui-swipe-right="testSwipe( right side )">
It calls a method testSwipe(), it is defined in app.js.
$scope.testSwipe=function(direction) { alert( You swiped + direction); };Advertisements
