jquery.detectSwipe

Gives easy access to left/right/up/down swipe events for iOS and other touch devices.

Based on Andreas Waltl's jQuery TouchWipe.

How to use

$(".selector").on('swipeleft',  function(){ /*...*/ })
        .on('swiperight', function(){ /*...*/ })
        .on('swipeup',    function(){ /*...*/ })
        .on('swipedown',  function(){ /*...*/ });

This won't have any effect on non-touch devices. You can rely on:

$.detectSwipe.enabled // true on touch devices, false otherwise

Global setting:

$.detectSwipe.threshold // The number of pixels your finger must move to trigger a swipe event.  Defaults is 20.
$.detectSwipe.preventDefault // Should touchmove events be prevented?  Defaults to true.

What's in this fork?

A new global setting!

$.detectSwipe.swipeExceptionCondition

In case there are situations where you don't want swipe to be enabled, like you have an overflow container that you want to take the scroll. Pass this a function that returns true when that exception condition is met. Here's an example

$.detectSwipe.swipeExceptionCondition = function(){
	return ($('body').attr('data-side-drawer-open') == 'true' || $('body').attr('data-side-drawer-state') == 'changing' );
}

And pinch support!

You can now do

$(".selector").on('pinchin',  function(){ /*...*/ });

This currently fires on both pinching in and pinching out, but it will soon differentiate.
