Just a basic tutorial on how to use this

[DarianSteyn]

No matter where I look, there is hardly anything on how to use this damn framework. Everything is so vague and they hardly explain how to implement this stuff. I simply want to add one swipe function to a HTML object. But I can't find ANY useful resources and it's so annoying. I have gone from the Hammer.js, to Hammer.min.js to the jquery.hammer.js and every single one of them has given me a error. Either saying Hammer is not defined or a addeventlistener is not a function - hammer js.

Just make ONE simple tutorial on how to implement the framework. We aren't all well-experienced coders. Everyone just assumes you can just figure it out with a one line explanation of -

"It’s easy to use, just include the library and create a new instance. -
var hammertime = new Hammer(myElement, myOptions);
hammertime.on('pan', function(ev) {
console.log(ev);
});"

Ok.. so I do that but then it's the same damn errors haha.

I concur, Hammer.js documentation is flat out horrible for beginners.

This project seems to be abandoned by the developer.
The documentation of this plugin is horrendous.

[DarianSteyn]

It really is garbage for beginners. I do not suggest it for someone who wants to quickly implement touch features.

It took me a long time to implement it. Even as an advanced coder. Documentation is a must. Always.

Agreed...

It was pretty hard to find how to use it! I use the jquery plugin, here's how I got it to work for slides after reading a post on stackoverflow:

$('.class').each(function(){
var $this = $(this);
var h = new Hammer(this);
h.on("swiperight", function() {
//code to execute
}
});
And I link to both jquery.hammer.js and hammer.js in the main document!

But that's the point, you you shouldn't have had to do all of that when using a plugin. That is why the Dev's usually have thorough and clear documentation/examples.
