Question

I am trying to remove dependency on jQuery from a project. Currently I have something like this…

$("#input").ontouchstart = myFunction;

Now I want to use vanilla js like this

somehowBind('touchstart', document.getElementById('input'), myFunction)

I don’t mind the syntax, just want the same functionality.

Answer 1

Yep, should be:

document.getElementById('input').addEventListener('touchstart', myFunction)

Although I’ve never heard of the “touchstart” event. Is it Mobile only?
