@edenchazard/vue-slick-press NPM

Vue Slick Press

A simple Vue 3 directive that distinguishes typical clicks from "long presses". Intended to work across touch browsers and mouse browsers.

Usage

First, install the directive using npm install @edenchazard/vue-slick-press

Then, import it like so and configure your events:

import vSlickPress from 'vue-slick-press';

function singleClick() {
  alert('click detected!');
}

function longPress() {
  alert('long press detected!');
}

And then use it on a component.

<div
  v-slickPress="{
    click: singleClick,
    longPress: longPress,
    wait: 500,
    disableRightClickMenu: true,
  }"
> click/press here
</div>

API

There are a few configurable options per directive, these are:

Option	Type	Description
click	() => void	Function to call when clicked.
longPress	() => void	Function to call when a press extends into a long press.
press	() => void	Function to call whenever the component is 'pressed'. Equivalent of touchdown/mousedown.
wait	number	The period of time in miliseconds from first press to when to call a long press.
disableRightClickMenu	boolean	If enabled, custom css will be applied to prevent the context menu appearing when held down/right click.

TODOs

Fix the demo so it actually works haha. Right now it's working in the project it spawned from.

Recommended IDE Setup

VSCode + Volar (and disable Vetur) + TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar).

Type Support for `.vue` Imports in TS

TypeScript cannot handle type information for .vue imports by default, so we replace the tsc CLI with vue-tsc for type checking. In editors, we need TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar) to make the TypeScript language service aware of .vue types.

If the standalone TypeScript plugin doesn't feel fast enough to you, Volar has also implemented a Take Over Mode that is more performant. You can enable it by the following steps:

Disable the built-in TypeScript Extension
1. Run Extensions: Show Built-in Extensions from VSCode's command palette
2. Find TypeScript and JavaScript Language Features, right click and select Disable (Workspace)
Reload the VSCode window by running Developer: Reload Window from the command palette.
