jQuery Mobile swipeleft Event

Last Updated : 25 Dec, 2020

jQuery Mobile swipeleft event is fired when we swipe left in the element area. We can use this event for different purposes.

Syntax:

jQuery( ".selector" ).on( "swipeleft", function( event ) {  } )

Approach: First, add jQuery mobile scripts needed for your project.

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.css” />
<script src=”http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js”></script>
<script src=”http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.js”></script>

Example 1:

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
  
<head> 
    <link rel="stylesheet" href= 
"http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.css" /> 
  
    <script src= 
        "http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"> 
    </script> 
  
    <script src= 
"http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.js"> 
    </script> 
  
    <script type="text/javascript"> 
        $(document).on('swipeleft', 'a', function() { 
            console.log('swipeleft event fired'); 
        }) 
    </script> 
</head> 
  
<body> 
    <center> 
        <h1>GeeksforGeeks</h1> 
        <h4>swipeleft Event using jQuery Mobile</h4> 
    </center> 
  
    <a data-role="button" id="gfg">click</a> 
</body> 
  
</html>
