Extend hammer.js (v2) with event propagation.
We use the @egjs/hammerjs fork because hammer.js is not maintained anymore.
- Events emitted by hammer will propagate in order from child to parent elements.
- Events are extended with a function
event.stopPropagation()to stop propagation to parent elements. - Events are extended with a property
event.firstTargetcontaining the element where a gesture started. - Supports changing and rearranging the HTML DOM on the fly.
- Load via commonjs, AMD, or as a plain old JavaScript file.

}To extend individual hammer.js instances with event propagation:
var hammer = propagating(new Hammer(element));To extend the global hammer.js constructor
Hammer = propagating(Hammer);Here a basic usage example. More examples are available in the folder /examples.

propagating(hammer: Hammer.Manager, options?: {
preventDefault?: true | 'mouse' | 'touch' | 'pen'
}): Hammer.Manager-
hammer: Hammer.ManagerAn hammer instance or the global hammer constructor. -
options: ObjectAn optional object with options. Available options:preventDefault: true | 'mouse' | 'touch' | 'pen'. Optional. Enforce preventing the default browser behavior. Cannot be set tofalse.
Returns the same hammer instance with extended functionality.
The emitted hammer.js events are extended with:
-
event.stopPropagation()If called, the event will not further propagate the elements parents.
-
event.firstTargetContains the HTML element where a gesture started (where as
event.targetcontains the element where the pointer is right now).
