Runs the callback whenever the user input type changes (`mouse` or `touch`).
|
|
|
|
- Use two event listeners.
|
|
- Assume `mouse` input initially and bind a `'touchstart'` event listener to the document.
|
|
- On `'touchstart'`, add a `'mousemove'` event listener to listen for two consecutive `'mousemove'` events firing within 20ms, using `performance.now()`.
|
|
- Run the callback with the input type as an argument in either of these situations.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const onUserInputChange = callback => {
|
|
let type = 'mouse',
|
|
lastTime = 0;
|
|
const mousemoveHandler = () => {
|
|
const now = performance.now();
|
|
if (now - lastTime < 20)
|
|
(type = 'mouse'),
|
|
callback(type),
|
|
document.removeEventListener('mousemove', mousemoveHandler);
|
|
lastTime = now;
|
|
};
|
|
document.addEventListener('touchstart', () => {
|
|
if (type === 'touch') return;
|
|
(type = 'touch'),
|
|
callback(type),
|
|
document.addEventListener('mousemove', mousemoveHandler);
|
|
});
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
onUserInputChange(type => {
|
|
console.log('The user is now using', type, 'as an input method.');
|
|
});
|
|
```
