Any thought about handling touch events?

[davidascher]

I'm wondering whether you think handling touch events (e.g. swipes) is in scope for something like slidebox?

I think that'd make it a lot more attractive for use in mobile apps, so, yes. But @csuwldcat and @pennyfx have spent a lot more time thinking about x-tags so I'll ultimately defer to their wisdom here :)

We should definitely add touch to every clickable tag. We have basic
mapping of click to touch for simple events, but there's a bugzilla ticket
that specs more advanced touch support for gestures like swipe that are
needed for tags like this. I'll dig up the ticket and we can get it
assigned (as priority allows).

I expect you already know this, but
http://eightmedia.github.com/hammer.js/could be useful to bridge
x-browser issues.

BTW - playing w/ hammerjs, i easily to swipe events to lead to slides; but I also quickly realized that in some scenarios I really want to react to drags, which I can't really do w/o teaching slidebox about partial drags. It might be really nice to build into slidebox an event that says "drag horizontally N pixels", and on dragEnd, have the slidebox component figure out whether to "finish" the slide, or to revert to the current position based on where the drag ended relative to a full slide.

Hopefully the above makes sense to you =).

Yeah, the touch/gestures I spec'd make this much easier. I'll see what we
can do to make this sort of thing generic and simple to add for component
authors.
