How It Works

Touch Events

This tool listens for the browser's native touch events: touchstart, touchmove, touchend, and touchcancel. Each event provides a list of active touch points with coordinates, force, and radius data. On non-touch devices, mouse events are used as a fallback.

Gesture Detection

The tool detects common gestures by analyzing touch point patterns. A tap is a short touch with minimal movement. A swipe is detected when a single touch moves more than 30 pixels in a dominant direction. Pinch is recognized when two touch points change distance. A long press triggers after holding a touch for 500ms without significant movement.

Touch Properties

Property Description
clientX / clientYPosition relative to the viewport
pageX / pageYPosition relative to the full page
radiusX / radiusYSize of the touch contact area in pixels
forcePressure of the touch (0.0 to 1.0), if supported
identifierUnique ID for each active touch point

Use Cases

  • Debugging touch handlers — Verify your app responds to the correct events
  • Testing multi-touch — Confirm pinch-to-zoom and two-finger gestures work
  • Device comparison — Check touch capabilities across different devices
  • Force touch testing — Verify pressure-sensitive interactions on supported devices
