Getting touchy - an introduction to touch and pointer events / JavaScript Days 2016

Slides from my 1 day workshop at HTML5 Days / JavaScript Days in Munich, Germany, 22 March 2016

Beyond smartphones and tablets, touchscreens are finding their way into laptops and even desktop computers. With hardware support for touch becoming increasingly ubiquitous, it's time to explore what new possibilities are available to developers. This session will cover the basics of handling touch events - from making sure simple single-tap interactions are as responsive as possible, all the way to examples of full multitouch, gesture-enabled elements.

Transcript

1. getting touchy AN INTRODUCTION TO TOUCH AND POINTER EVENTS Patrick H. Lauke / Last major changes: 18 March 2016
2. about me... •  senior accessibility consultant at The Paciello Group •  previously developer relations at Opera •  member of W3C Touch Events Community Group •  chair (since March 2016) of W3C Pointer Events Working Group
3. github.com/patrickhlauke/getting-touchy-presentation "evergreen" expanded version of this presentation (and branches for specific conferences)
4. patrickhlauke.github.io/touch
6. Touch/pointer events test results
7. my JavaScript sucks... (but will hopefully convey the right concepts)
8. “how can I make my website work on touch devices?”
9. you don't need touch events browsers emulate regular mouse events
10. patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/tests/event-listener_mouse-only.html
11. patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/tests/event-listener_mouse-only.html
12. compatibility mouse events (mouseenter) > mouseover > mousemove* > mousedown > (focus) > mouseup > click * only a single “sacrificial” mousemove event fired
13. on first tap (mouseenter) > mouseover > mousemove > mousedown > (focus) > mouseup > click subsequent taps mousemove > mousedown > mouseup > click tapping away (mouseout) > (blur) focus / blur only on focusable elements; subtle differences between browsers Mobile/tablet touchscreen activation/tap event order
14. emulation works, but is limiting/problematic
15. 1.  delayed event dispatch 2.  hover/mouseover interfaces 3.  mousemove doesn't track

23. patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/particle/2
24. “we need to go deeper...”
25. touch events introduced by Apple, adopted in Chrome/Firefox/Opera (and belatedly IE/Edge – more on that later) www.w3.org/TR/touch-events
26. caniuse.com: Can I use touch events?
27. touchstart touchmove touchend touchcancel
28. patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/tests/event-listener_all-no-timings.html
29. patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/tests/event-listener_all-no-timings.html Bug 128534 - 'mouseenter' mouse compat event not fired...
30. events fired on tap touchstart > [touchmove]+ > touchend > (mouseenter) > mouseover > mousemove > mousedown > (focus) > mouseup > click (mouse events only fired for single-finger tap)
31. on first tap touchstart > [touchmove]+ > touchend > (mouseenter) > mouseover > mousemove > mousedown > (focus) > mouseup > click subsequent taps touchstart > [touchmove]+ > touchend > mousemove > mousedown > mouseup > click tapping away mouseout > (mouseleave) > (blur)
32. •  too many touchmove events prevent mouse compatibility events after touchend (not considered a "clean" tap) •  too many touchmove events on activatable elements can lead to touchcancel (in old Chrome/Browser versions) •  not all browsers consistently send touchmove •  differences in focus / blur and some mouse compatibility events (e.g. mouseenter / mouseleave ) •  some events may only fire when tapping away to another focusable element (e.g. blur ) some browsers outright weird...
33. Browser/Android 4.3 mouseover > mousemove > touchstart > touchend > mousedown > mouseup > click Browser/Blackberry PlayBook 2.0 touchstart > mouseover > mousemove > mousedown > touchend > mouseup > click UC Browser 10.8/Android 6 mouseover > mousemove > touchstart > (touchmove)+ > touchend > mousedown > focus > mouseup > click
34. Touch/pointer events test results
35. shouldn't affect your code, unless you're expecting a very specific sequence...
36. touch events vs limitations/problems
37. 1.  delayed event dispatch 2.  hover/mouseover interfaces 3.  mousemove doesn't track
38. 1.  delayed event dispatch 2.  hover/mouseover interfaces 3.  mousemove doesn't track
39. patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/tests/event-listener_show-delay.html
40. why the delay? double-tap to zoom (mostly anyway)
41. when does the delay happen?
42. patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/tests/event-listener.html
43. patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/tests/event-listener.html
44. touch / mouse events delay touchstart > [touchmove]+ > touchend > [300ms delay] (mouseenter) > mouseover > mousemove > mousedown > (focus) > mouseup > click
45. “how can we make it feel responsive like a native app?”
46. react to events fired before the 300ms delay...
47. touchstart for an “immediate” control (e.g. fire/jump button on a game)
48. touchend for a control that fires after finger lifted (but this can result in events firing after zoom/scroll)
49. don't make it touch-exclusive
50. interlude: simple feature detection for touch events
51. /* feature detection for touch events */ if ( 'ontouchstart' in window ) { /* some clever stuff here */ } /* older browsers have flaky support so more hacky tests needed...use Modernizr.touch or similar */
52. /* common performance “trick” */ var clickEvent = ( 'ontouchstart' in window ? 'touchend' : 'click' ); blah.addEventListener( clickEvent , function() { ... }, false);
53. /* common performance “trick” */ var clickEvent = ( 'ontouchstart' in window ? 'touchend' : 'click'); ... /* if touch events are supported, only listen to touchend, not click */
54. hybrid devices touch + mouse + keyboard
58. patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/tests/event-listener_naive-touch-or-mouse.html
59. Bug 888304 - touch-events on Firefox-desktop should be disabled until we can support them properly
60. Issue 392584: TouchEvent API should be enabled consistently
61. even on "mobile" we can have multiple inputs...
64. Windows 10 "Continuum"
65. Android + mouse – behaves like touch touchstart > touchend > mouseover > mousemove > mousedown > (focus) > mouseup > click
66. Blackberry PlayBook 2.0 + mouse - like desktop mouseover > mousedown > (mousemove)+ > mouseup > click
67. Blackberry Leap (BBOS 10.1) + mouse - like desktop mouseover > mousedown > (mousemove)+ > mouseup > click
68. Windows 10 Mobile/Microsoft Edge + mouse - like desktop mouseover > mousedown > (mousemove)+ > mouseup > click
69. Android + keyboard – like desktop keyboard (TAB / ENTER) focus / click
70. iOS keyboard only works in same situations as on-screen keyboard (e.g. text inputs, URL entry)
71. VoiceOver enables full keyboard access on iOS
72. iOS + keyboard – similar to touch (TAB / ENTER) focus / touchstart > touchend > (mouseenter) > mouseover > mousemove > mousedown > blur > mouseup > click
73. mobile Assistive Technologies (e.g. screen readers on touchscreen devices)
74. iOS + VoiceOver (with/without keyboard) – similar to touch focus / touchstart > touchend > (mouseenter) > mouseover > mousemove > mousedown > blur > mouseup > click
75. Android 4.3/Chrome + TalkBack – keyboard/mouse hybrid focus / blur > mousedown > mouseup > click > focus
76. Android 6.1/Chrome + TalkBack – simulates touch touchstart > touchend > mouseover > mouseenter > mousemove > mousedown > focus > mouseup > click
77. Android 6.1/Firefox + TalkBack – similar to touch touchstart > mousedown > focus > touchend > mouseup > click
78. further scenarios? •  desktop with external touchscreen •  desktop with external touchpad •  touchscreen laptop with non-touch second screen •  touchscreen laptop with trackpad/mouse •  ...and other permutations?
79. no way to detect these cases...
80. Modernizr.touch detects touch events not touch devices
81. Stu Cox: You can't detect a touchscreen
82. hacks.mozilla.org - Detecting touch [...]
83. /* feature detection for touch events */ if ('ontouchstart' in window) { /* browser supports touch events but user is not necessarily using touch (exclusively) */ /* it could be a mobile, tablet, desktop, fridge ... */ }
84. touch or mouse or keyboard
85. touch and mouse and keyboard
86. /* doubled-up event listeners */ foo.addEventListener(' touchend ', someFunction, false); foo.addEventListener(' click ', someFunction, false); /* but this would fire our function twice for touch? */ patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/tests/event-listener_naive-event-doubling.html
87. /* doubled-up event listeners */ foo.addEventListener('touchend', function(e) { /* prevent mouse events + click */ e.preventDefault(); /* then trigger the function */ someFunction(e); }, false); foo.addEventListener('click', someFunction, false); patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/tests/event-listener_naive-event-doubling-fixed.html
88. /* doubled-up event listeners */ foo.addEventListener('touchend', someFunction, false); foo.addEventListener('click', someFunction, false); /* prevent mouse events + click as part of the common handler */ function someFunction(e) { ... if (e.type == 'touchend') { e.preventDefault(); } ... }
89. preventDefault() kills scrolling, pinch/zoom, etc
90. apply preventDefault() carefully (just on buttons/links, not entire page)

102. iOS/Safari designed themselves into a corner: “double-tap to scroll” Bug 122212 - Optimizations to remove 300ms touch > mouse events delay
103. however, Apple did finally change its mind...
104. Changeset 191072 - Web pages with unscalable viewports shouldn't have a single tap delay (change coming to iOS 9.3 – currently in beta)
105. what about accessibility?
109. "Force enable zoom" reintroduces delay – a fair compromise? patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/tests/event-listener_user-scalable-no.html
110. "mobile optimised" viewport and "double-tap to zoom"
111. Chrome 32+ / Android: content="width=device-width" suppresses double-tap-to-zoom, still allows pinch zoom Google Developers: 300ms tap delay, gone away
112. Bug 941995 - Remove 300ms [...] on "responsive" pages [RESOLVED FIXED]
113. Bug 150604 - Implement viewport-width-based fast-click heuristic (change coming to iOS 9.3 – currently in beta)

150. TouchList differences touches all touch points on screen targetTouches all touch points that started on the element changedTouches touch points that caused the event to fire
151. changedTouches depending on event: •  for touchstart , all new touch points that became active •  for touchmove , all touch points that changed/moved since last event •  for touchend / touchcancel , touch points that were removed (and are not active anymore at this point)
152. patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/touchlist-objects

154. TouchList collections order •  order of individual Touch objects in a TouchList can change •  e.g. targetTouches[0] not guaranteed to always be the same finger when dealing with multitouch •  not problematic for single-finger interactions, but use identifier property for each Touch to explicitly track a particular touch point / finger in multitouch

257. current IE10/11 quirk ... pointerup > mouseup > lostpointercapture > pointerout > mouseout > pointerleave > mouseleave > click the fact that click comes last is a current IE10/11 quirk – according to spec it should come after pointerup > mouseup , and does already when using touch-action W3C Pointer Events WG mailing list - Jacob Rossi (Microsoft)
258. patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/tests/event-listener_all-no-timings.html
259. events fired on tap (Edge) mousemove* > pointerover > mouseover > pointerenter > mouseenter > pointerdown > mousedown > focus gotpointercapture > pointermove > mousemove > pointerup > mouseup > lostpointercapture > click > pointerout > mouseout > pointerleave > mouseleave note click fired correctly after pointerup in Microsoft Edge
260. vendor­prefixed in IE10 MSPointerDown etc navigator.msMaxTouchPoints -ms-touch-action unprefixed in IE11 (but prefixed versions still mapped for compatibility)
261. /* Pointer Events extend Mouse Events vs Touch Events and their completely new objects/arrays */ interface PointerEvent : MouseEvent { readonly attribute long pointerId; readonly attribute long width; readonly attribute long height; readonly attribute float pressure; readonly attribute long tiltX; readonly attribute long tiltY; readonly attribute DOMString pointerType; readonly attribute boolean isPrimary; } /* plus all the classic MouseEvent attributes like clientX , clientY , etc */
262. simple feature detection for pointer events
263. /* detecting pointer events support */ if ( window.PointerEvent ) { /* some clever stuff here but this covers touch, stylus, mouse, etc */ } /* still listen to click for keyboard! */
264. "don't forget about keyboard users" note in Pointer Events spec
265. /* detect maximum number of touch points */ if ( navigator.maxTouchPoints > 0 ) { /* device with a touchscreen */ } if ( navigator.maxTouchPoints > 1 ) { /* multitouch-capable device */ }
266. are pointer events better?

273. pointer / mouse events and delay ... [300ms delay] click ... 300ms delay just before click event
274. “how can we make it feel responsive like a native app?”
275. we could try a similar approach to touch events...
276. •  double-up pointerup and click listeners? •  prevent code firing twice with preventDefault ? won't work: preventDefault() stops mouse compatibility events, but click is not considered mouse compatibility event
277. patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/tests/event-listener.html
278. a more declarative approach with touch-action
279. CSS property what action should the browser handle? touch-action: auto | none | [ pan-x || pan-y ] | manipulation www.w3.org/TR/pointerevents/#the-touch-action-css-property only determines default touch action, does not stop compatibility mouse events nor click

329. /* Pointer Events - pressure */ interface PointerEvent : MouseEvent { readonly attribute long pointerId; readonly attribute long width; readonly attribute long height; readonly attribute float pressure ; readonly attribute long tiltX; readonly attribute long tiltY; readonly attribute DOMString pointerType; readonly attribute boolean isPrimary; } pressure : value in range 0 – 1 . if no hardware support, 0.5 in active button state, 0 otherwise

336. patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/pen-tracker YouTube: ...pen with tilt, pressure and hover support
337. pointermove fires if any property changes, not just x/y position ( width , height , tiltX , tiltY , pressure )
338. pointer capture (implicit vs explicit)
339. •  touch events have implicit capture: once you start a touch movement on an element, events keep firing to the element even when moving outside the element's boundaries •  pointer events behave like mouse events: only fire events to an element while pointer (e.g. finger on touchscreen) inside element, but you can explicitly capture pointers
340. /* events related to pointer capture */ gotpointercapture / lostpointercapture /* example of how to capture a pointer explicitly */ element.addEventListener('pointerdown', function(e) { this. setPointerCapture(e.pointerId) ; }, false } /* capture automatically released on pointerup / pointercancel or explicitly with releasePointerCapture() */ patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/tests/pointercapture.html
