onSwipeX

occurs on a horizontal swipe movement

function onSwipeX(
// object with parameters of swipe event start
start_context: object,
// object with parameters of swipe event end
current_context: object
): void
grid.attachEvent("onSwipeX",function(start_context,current_context){
//your code here
});

Parameters of the start_context and current_context objects are given below:

  • x - {number} horizontal event position
  • y - {number} vertical event position
  • target - {object} the html element where the event started/ended
  • time - {Date object} the time of event start/end

To check whether the swipe direction is “from right to left” or “from left to right”, you can calculate the difference between currentContext.x and startContext.x. If the difference is positive, swipe movement direction was “from left to right”. In case of a negative value, the direction was “from right to left”.

// example of usage
grid.attachEvent("onSwipeX",function(c1,c2){
if( c2.x - c1.x > 0 ){
// swipe from left to right
}
else{
// swipe from right to left
}
});
