onLongPress AngularJS Directive - Great for mobile!
// Somewhere in your controllers for this given example
// Example functions
$scope.itemOnLongPress = function(id) {
console.log('Long press');
}
$scope.itemOnTouchEnd = function(id) {
console.log('Touch end');
}
// Add this directive where you keep your directives
.directive('onLongPress', function($timeout) {
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function($scope, $elm, $attrs) {
$elm.bind('touchstart', function(evt) {
// Locally scoped variable that will keep track of the long press
$scope.longPress = true;
// We'll set a timeout for 600 ms for a long press
$timeout(function() {
if ($scope.longPress) {
// If the touchend event hasn't fired,
// apply the function given in on the element's on-long-press attribute
$scope.$apply(function() {
$scope.$eval($attrs.onLongPress)
});
}
}, 600);
});
$elm.bind('touchend', function(evt) {
// Prevent the onLongPress event from firing
$scope.longPress = false;
// If there is an on-touch-end function attached to this element, apply it
if ($attrs.onTouchEnd) {
$scope.$apply(function() {
$scope.$eval($attrs.onTouchEnd)
});
}
});
}
};
})
