Capture “tap” event with pure JavaScript

Question

How can I capture a user\'s \"tap\" event with pure JS? I cannot use any libraries, unfortunately.

Answer 1

The click event is triggered on mouse click as well as on a touch click.

The touchstart event is triggered when the screen is touched.

The touchend event is triggered when the touch ends. If the default action is prevented, a click event will not trigger.
