touch backend

[longlho]

For #16

I'm trying to use this repo for 1 of my apps so I did an implementation based on your POC. I'm still ironing out some of the details in remove touch event listeners properly.

Wow, that's awesome! Let me know when it's more production ready and I can help you test it if you'd like.

[longlho]

yup definitely :) It's getting reviewed now

@longlho what's the status on this?

[longlho]

@nickdima this is the final version :) we're using it right now in prod.

Wow, great to hear that! I'm still busy with other stuff but should be able to allocate some time in late September to go through issues and merge this as well.

You have to add this line to src/index.umd.js

export * as Touch from './backends/Touch';

Guys, what about hybrid devices that supports mouse and touch events?

I didn't in fact read the source yet but we should be listening to both events or have a "multi" back-end that supports both.

Wdyt?

[longlho]

That's definitely a possibility but will be pretty tricky IMO and will require stopPropagation at the right stage. I haven't got time to tackle this use case yet.

@sobrinho just fixed the dist :)

Hey, thanks for all the work.

I'm closing this issue because I'm confident I want the backends to be in separate repos and be published on NPM (with a peerDependency on React DnD's current major version). I'm going to publish HTML5 backend separately, too.

If you publish touch backend on NPM, please link to it in this thread. I propose that we use react-dnd-*-backend naming scheme, e.g. react-dnd-mouse-backend.

[longlho]

gotcha 👍

@gaearon just an update on this. Touch backend's been published on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-dnd-touch-backend

[gaearon]

Awesome, I linked to it from README.
