API

Attr Type Details
faTouchmove expression

Expression to evaluate upon touchmove. (Event object is available as $event)

Example

Upon a touchmove event firing, fa-touchmove will evaluate the expression bound to it.

touchmove fires once upon first touch; touchmove fires as the touch point (finger) is moved along a touch surface, until release of the touch point. The rate of which touchmove events fire is implementation-defined by browser and hardware. fa-touchmove evaluates the expression bound to it upon each firing of touchmove.

Fa-touchmove on an fa-surface

Fa-touchmovecan be used on an fa-surface. Internally, a Famous Surface has a .on() method that binds a callback function to an event type handled by that Surface. The function expression bound to fa-touchmove is bound to that fa-surface's touchmove eventHandler, and when touchmove fires, the function expression will be called.

<fa-modifier fa-size="[100, 100]">
  <fa-surface fa-touchmove="touchMove($event)" fa-background-color="'red'"></fa-surface>
</fa-modifier>
var touchMoveCounter = 0;
$scope.touchMove = function($event) {
  touchMoveCounter++;
  console.log($event);
  console.log("touchMove: " + touchMoveCounter);
};

Fa-touchmove on an fa-view

Fa-touchmove may be used on an fa-view. The function expression bound to fa-touchmove will be bound to the fa-view's internal _eventInput, the aggregation point of all events received by the fa-view. When it receives a touchmove event, it will call the function expression bound to fa-touchmove.

In the example below, the fa-surface pipes its Surface events to an instantied Famous Event Handler called myEvents. Fa-view pipes from myEvents, receiving all events piped by the fa-surface.

When a touchmove event occurs on the fa-surface, it is piped to the fa-view.
fa-touchmove defines a callback function in which to handle touchmove events, and when it receives a touchmove event, it calls touchMove().

<fa-view fa-touchmove="touchMove($event)" fa-pipe-from="myEvents">
  <fa-modifier fa-size="[100, 100]">
    <fa-surface fa-pipe-to="myEvents"
                fa-background-color="'orange'">
    </fa-surface>
  </fa-modifier>
</fa-view>
var EventHandler = $famous['famous/core/EventHandler'];
$scope.myEvents = new EventHandler();

$scope.touchMove = function($event) {
  console.log($event);
  console.log("fa-view receives the touchmove event from the fa-surface, and calls $scope.touchMove bound to fa-touchmove");
};
