Touch.identifier
Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The Touch.identifier
returns a value uniquely identifying
this point of contact with the touch surface. This value remains consistent for every
event involving this finger's (or stylus's) movement on the surface until it is lifted
off the surface.
Syntax
touchItem.identifier;
Return value
A long
that represents the unique ID of the Touch
object.
Example
someElement.addEventListener('touchmove', function(e) {
// Iterate through the list of touch points that changed
// since the last event and print each touch point's identifier.
for (var i=0; i < e.changedTouches.length; i++) {
console.log("changedTouches[" + i + "].identifier = " + e.changedTouches[i].identifier);
}
}, false);
