A simple swipe detection on vanilla js

swipe.js

var touchstartX = 0;
var touchstartY = 0;
var touchendX = 0;
var touchendY = 0;

var gesuredZone = document.getElementById('gesuredZone');

gesuredZone.addEventListener('touchstart', function(event) {
    touchstartX = event.screenX;
    touchstartY = event.screenY;
}, false);

gesuredZone.addEventListener('touchend', function(event) {
    touchendX = event.screenX;
    touchendY = event.screenY;
    handleGesure();
}, false); 

function handleGesure() {
    var swiped = 'swiped: ';
    if (touchendX < touchstartX) {
        alert(swiped + 'left!');
    }
    if (touchendX > touchstartX) {
        alert(swiped + 'right!');
    }
    if (touchendY < touchstartY) {
        alert(swiped + 'down!');
    }
    if (touchendY > touchstartY) {
        alert(swiped + 'left!');
    }
    if (touchendY == touchstartY) {
        alert('tap!');
    }
}

Yeh, thats a bit brief, can u point me to some code examples. much appreciated.

@jonseo check this https://gist.github.com/SleepWalker/da5636b1abcbaff48c4d?permalink_comment_id=3537435#gistcomment-3537435

especially

document.querySelector('.carousel').addEventListener('touchmove', e => {
    swipeable.touchMove(e, { 
        onUp: (e, x) => console.log(e, x + 'px swiped') ,
        onLeft: (e, x) => console.log(e, x + 'px swiped')
    })
})

I hope that's what you mean

thnk you!

Great, but still have questions about different browser compatibility issues.
