  1. POAngularJS: accessing the ngTouch service from a directive?
    text
    copied!<p>I really love how the new <code>ng-click</code> directive in Angular now automatically includes functionality for touch events. However, I am wondering if it is possible to access that touch-event service from my custom directive? I have lots of directives that require that I bind a click event to the given element, but I'm simply doing that using the typical jquery syntax (ex: <code>element.on('click', function(){ ... })</code>). Is there a way that I can bind an <code>ng-click</code> event to an element within a directive? Without having to manually put a <code>ng-click</code> tag on my element in the HTML of my view...?</p> <p>I want to be able to harness the power of both click <em>and</em> touch events. I could obviously import a library (such as <a href="http://eightmedia.github.io/hammer.js/" rel="noreferrer">HammerJS</a> or <a href="http://quojs.tapquo.com/" rel="noreferrer">QuoJS</a>) but I would prefer not to have to do that, especially since Angular is already doing it.</p> <p>I can access the <a href="http://code.angularjs.org/1.2.0rc1/docs/api/ngTouch.$swipe" rel="noreferrer"><code>$swipe</code></a> service and bind different elements to that, but is there a similar service for <code>ngTouch</code>?</p> <p>For reference, this is an example of when I would want to do this:</p> <pre><code>mod.directive('datepicker', ['$timeout', function($timeout){ return { link: function(scope, elem, attrs){ var picker = new DatePicker(); elem.on('click', function(e){ picker.show(); }); // I would rather do something like: // elem.on('ngTouch', function(){ ... }); // // or even: // $ngTouch.bind(elem, {'click': ..., 'touch': ...}); } } }]); </code></pre> <p>UPDATE: As noted by below, the source code for the <code>ng-click</code> directive is <a href="https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/v1.2.0-rc.3/src/ngTouch/directive/ngClick.js#L193" rel="noreferrer">here</a>. Can anyone see a way to harness that code and turn it into a "bindable" service?</p>
