touchtap-event

A lightweight JavaScript library that adds a touchtap custom event to the document which can be listened to on any element. This will only emit an event on touch enabled devices or those emulating touch devices.

It works by listening to various touch events to dispatch the event if the touchstart and touchend events were in approximately the same position and took <= 200ms.

# via bower
bower install --save touchtap-event

npm install --save touchtap-event
