Gallery: swipe on touch devices

We've looked at the libraries used to do this (e.g. here).

The gallery supports swipe out of the box if any of the following libraries is loaded

Supported:

• jQuery Mobile
• hammer
• detectSwipe
• jQuery Mobile events

If any of these library is present, the navigation buttons are hidden and the swipeleft and swiperight events are used instead.

If you don't currently use any "touch" library, we recommend hammer if you need complex gestures, or else detectSwipe is the shortest and simplest of the bunch.

Not supported:

• jGestures: swipe right and left reported not working
• TouchWipe: Good library, but doesn't use events. Use this jQuery port instead.
