In our web applications, you and I probably haven't done a whole lot of special work to handle touch-based input. Because touch is often treated as a mouse gesture, a lot of things just work for free. With that said, this doesn't mean we can't do a little extra to make our web content a bit more touch optimized. In this tutorial, the little extra is around detecting the direction of a touch swipe that we can then react to. We are going to do all of this using pure 100% grass-fed JavaScript. No 3rd party libraries will be necessary!
