Minimalist pointer events polyfill.
Contrary to the current standard polyfill for pointer
events (jquery/PEP), this polyfill provides
relative positions (offsetX
and offsetY
properties) and
is compatible with elm JSON decoders (no cyclic attributes).
Import the elm-pep.js
file in your web page.
The implemented pointer events are:
- pointerdown
- pointermove
- pointerup
If the PointerEvent
API is not supported in the browser,
this will attach mouse and touch events to the document.
When triggered, it transforms the mouse or touch
event into a pointer event and dispatch it.
This is not a fully featured polyfill.
This code is truly minimalist and simple so probably not very computing efficient. It does not aim at supporting old browsers, only recent browsers that do not support pointer events yet.
This code focuses on unifying the touch and mouse APIs and
thus only provides the pointerId
and isPrimary
properties specific to pointer events.
