# React Swipeable
React swipe event handler hook
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-swipeable) [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-swipeable) [](https://github.com/FormidableLabs/react-swipeable/actions) [](https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=react-swipeable) [](https://github.com/FormidableLabs/react-swipeable#maintenance-status)
[](https://codesandbox.io/s/github/FormidableLabs/react-swipeable/tree/main/examples?file=/app/SimpleCarousel/Carousel.tsx)
### [Github Pages Demo](http://formidablelabs.github.io/react-swipeable/)
### Api
Use the hook and set your swipe(d) handlers.
```jsx
const handlers = useSwipeable({
onSwiped: (eventData) => console.log("User Swiped!", eventData),
...config,
});
return You can swipe here
;
```
Spread `handlers` onto the element you wish to track swipes on.
## Props / Config Options
### Event handler props
```js
{
onSwiped, // After any swipe (SwipeEventData) => void
onSwipedLeft, // After LEFT swipe (SwipeEventData) => void
onSwipedRight, // After RIGHT swipe (SwipeEventData) => void
onSwipedUp, // After UP swipe (SwipeEventData) => void
onSwipedDown, // After DOWN swipe (SwipeEventData) => void
onSwipeStart, // Start of swipe (SwipeEventData) => void *see details*
onSwiping, // During swiping (SwipeEventData) => void
onTap, // After a tap ({ event }) => void
}
```
#### Details
- `onSwipeStart` - called only once per swipe at the start and before the first `onSwiping` callback
- The `first` property of the `SwipeEventData` will be `true`
### Configuration props and default values
```js
{
delta: 10, // min distance(px) before a swipe starts
preventDefaultTouchmoveEvent: false, // call e.preventDefault *See Details*
trackTouch: true, // track touch input
trackMouse: false, // track mouse input
rotationAngle: 0, // set a rotation angle
}
```
## Swipe Event Data
All Event Handlers are called with the below event data, `SwipeEventData`.
```js
{
event, // source event
initial, // initial swipe [x,y]
first, // true for first event
deltaX, // x offset (current.x - initial.x)
deltaY, // y offset (current.y - initial.y)
absX, // absolute deltaX
absY, // absolute deltaY
velocity, // √(absX^2 + absY^2) / time - "absolute velocity" (speed)
vxvy, // [ deltaX/time, deltaY/time] - velocity per axis
dir, // direction of swipe (Left|Right|Up|Down)
}
```
**None of the props/config options are required.**
### Hook details
- Hook use requires **react >= 16.8.3**
- The props contained in `handlers` are currently `ref` and `onMouseDown`
- Please spread `handlers` as the props contained in it could change as react improves event listening capabilities
### `preventDefaultTouchmoveEvent` details
This prop allows you to prevent the browser's [touchmove](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/touchmove) event default action, mostly "scrolling".
Use this to **stop scrolling** in the browser while a user swipes.
- You can additionally try `touch-action` css property, [see below](#how-to-use-touch-action-to-prevent-scrolling)
`e.preventDefault()` is only called when:
- `preventDefaultTouchmoveEvent: true`
- `trackTouch: true`
- the users current swipe has an associated `onSwiping` or `onSwiped` handler/prop
Example scenario:
> If a user is swiping right with props `{ onSwipedRight: userSwipedRight, preventDefaultTouchmoveEvent: true }` then `e.preventDefault()` will be called, but if the user was swiping left then `e.preventDefault()` would **not** be called.
Please experiment with the [example app](http://formidablelabs.github.io/react-swipeable/) to test `preventDefaultTouchmoveEvent`.
#### passive listener
With v6 we've added the passive event listener option, by default, to **internal uses** of `addEventListener`. We set the `passive` option to `false` only when `preventDefaultTouchmoveEvent` is `true`.
**When `preventDefaultTouchmoveEvent` is:**
- `true` => `el.addEventListener(event, cb, { passive: false })`
- `false` => `el.addEventListener(event, cb, { passive: true })`
React's long running passive [event issue](https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/6436).
We previously had issues with chrome lighthouse performance deducting points for not having passive option set.
### Browser Support
The release of v6 `react-swipeable` we only support browsers that support options object for `addEventListener`, [Browser compatibility](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/addEventListener#Browser_compatibility). Which mainly means `react-swipeable` does not support ie11 by default, you need to polyfill options. For example using [event-listener-with-options](https://github.com/Macil/event-listener-with-options).
### Version 6 Updates and migration
If upgrading from v5 or later please refer to the release notes and the [v6 migration doc](./migration.md)
v6 now only exports a hook, `useSwipeable`.
If you would like something similar to the old `` component you can recreate it from the hook. There are examples in the [migration doc](./migration.md#swipeable-component-examples).
## FAQs
### How can I add a swipe listener to the `document`?
Example by [@merrywhether #180](https://github.com/FormidableLabs/react-swipeable/issues/180#issuecomment-649677983)
```js
const { ref } = useSwipeable({
...
}) as { ref: RefCallback };
useEffect(() => {
ref(document);
});
```
### How to share `ref` from `useSwipeable`?
**Example ref passthrough, [more details #189](https://github.com/FormidableLabs/react-swipeable/issues/189#issuecomment-656302682):**
```js
const MyComponent = () => {
const handlers = useSwipeable({ onSwiped: () => console.log('swiped') })
// setup ref for your usage
const myRef = React.useRef();
const refPassthrough = (el) => {
// call useSwipeable ref prop with el
handlers.ref(el);
// set myRef el so you can access it yourself
myRef.current = el;
}
return (
}
```
### How to use `touch-action` to prevent scrolling?
Sometimes you don't want the `body` of your page to scroll along with the user manipulating or swiping an item.
You might try to prevent the event default action via [preventDefaultTouchmoveEvent](#preventdefaulttouchmoveevent-details), which calls `event.preventDefault()`. **But** there may be a simpler, more effective solution, which has to do with a simple CSS property.
`touch-action` is a CSS property that sets how an element's region can be manipulated by a touchscreen user.
```js
const handlers = useSwipeable({
onSwiped: (eventData) => console.log("User Swiped!", evenData),
...config,
});
return Swipe here
;
```
