Touch Events

How to Create Custom Patterns with TouchEvents

You can call the event.preventDefault() to prevent the default action associated with each event from occurring. The touchstart and touchend events don't need this action, but touchmove requires it to stop screen scrolling when the user is moving the finger inside the element.

To use the event.preventDefault() , use this string of code:

$parameters.Evt.preventDefault();

How to Hide a Header During a Scroll Action

You can use the pattern to hide a header during a scroll action.

1. Add the TouchEvents pattern to the Layout block.

2. Add an End event.

3. Add logic.

Element	Code
	var header = document.querySelector(".hearder"); header.classList.add("hide"); header.classList.add("header-on-scroll");
	var header = document.querySelector(".header"); header.classList.remove("hide"); header.classList.remove("header-on-scroll");

Result:

Input Parameters

Input Name	Description	Default Value
WidgetId	This is the element that responds to the touch you configure.	none

Events

Event Name	Description	Mandatory
End	The event is triggered after the movement event finishes.	False
Move	The event is triggered after the movement starts.	False
Start	The event is triggered as the touch movement starts.	False

Compatibility with other Patterns

There might be conflicts with any pattern with touch events used together with this pattern (unless the code is altered to expect this behavior).
