Touch Events

Web browsers running on modern, touch-enabled devices have events, such as "touchstart", "touchend", "touchenter", "touchleave", "touchmove", and "touchcancel". Apple's iOS and Google's Android are two examples of mobile operating systems with support for these events in their web browsers.

When you put a finger down on the screen of the touch enabled devices, it kicks off the lifecycle of touch events and the following events get triggered.

touchstart: When a finger is placed on the touch surface/screen.
touchend: When a finger is removed from the touch surface/screen.
touchmove: When a finger already placed on the screen is moved across the screen.
touchenter: When a touch point moves onto the interactive area defined by a DOM element.
touchleave: When a touch point moves off the interactive area defined by a DOM element.
touchcancel: A user agent must dispatch this event type to indicate when a TouchPoint has been disrupted in an implementation-specific manner, such as by moving outside the bounds of the UA window. A user agent may also dispatch this event type when the user places more touch points (The coordinate point at which a pointer (e.g. finger or stylus) intersects the target surface of an interface) on the touch surface than the device or implementation is configured to store, in which case the earliest TouchPoint object in the TouchList should be removed.
