manually trigger touch event

Question

I searched for the past 30 minutes, but didn\'t find a solution.

I want to trigger a touchstart event on an element.

This fires the touchs

Answer 1

In 2019, we can use TouchEvent and Touch.

Touch is an experimental technology

For example,

const touch = new Touch({
  identifier: "123",
  target: target,
});

const touchEvent = new TouchEvent("touchstart", {
  touches: [touch],
  view: window,
  cancelable: true,
  bubbles: true,
});

target.dispatchEvent(touchEvent);

I created gist. try it simple.
