abbr-touch

abbr-touch is a tiny JavaScript library that makes the title attribute of <abbr> element touch accessible. It does so by utilising touchtap-event to only expose the functionality to touch-enabled devices, a custom touch handler can then be used to display <abbr>'s content any way you wish.

Install

npm install --save abbr-touch

Include

<script src="node_modules/abbr-touch/abbr-touch.js"></script>

Usage

// default handler on document (alert)
abbrTouch();
 
// default handler, apply to descendants of #some-element
abbrTouch(document.querySelector('#some-element'));
 
// custom handler, apply to descendants of #some-element
abbrTouch(document.querySelector('#some-element'), myHandler);
 
function myHandler(target, title, touchX, touchY) {
  console.log(target);
  console.log(title);
  console.log(touchX);
  console.log(touchY);
}
