Manually trigger Hammer.JS event?

Question

How can I 'fire' a HammerJS tap event? For example if I've done this:

Hammer(myelem).on('tap', myFunction);

is there anything like

Hammer(myelem).fire('tap')

which will then call myFunction with a fake ev?

Answer 1

Check here

Hammer(myelem).trigger('tap', eventData);

Keep in mind that the docs say:

You shouldn't use this, this is an internally method use by the gestures. Only use it when you know what you're doing! You can read the sourcecode about how to use this.

So, just to be sure I would check the source code on trigger, to see what they are doing.
