shake.js

A custom 'shake' event JavaScript plugin for mobile web browsers using device accelerometer.

Installation

  • Download: zip
  • Bower: bower install shake.js
  • Git: git clone https://github.com/alexgibson/shake.js

Dependencies

Your web browser must support the devicemotion event for this plugin to work. Shake.js uses built-in feature detection to determine if it can run in your web browser. It will terminate silently on non-supporting browsers.

Setup

First, include the main JavaScript file in the <head> of your HTML document:

<script src="shake.js"></script>

Next, listen for the custom 'shake' event:

window.addEventListener('shake', shakeEventDidOccur, false);

//function to call when shake occurs
function shakeEventDidOccur () {

	//put your own code here etc.
	if (confirm("Undo?")) {

	}
}

You can stop listening for shake events like so:

window.removeEventListener('shake', shakeEventDidOccur, false);
