onLongPress

v0.0.14testeddemo

Directive-like helper that invokes a handler after a sustained long press on a target element. Movement beyond distanceThreshold cancels the press, and an optional onMouseUp callback reports the press duration, distance, and long-press status. Listeners are passive by default and registered via useEventListener for automatic cleanup.

Examples

onLongPress(el, () => console.log('held!'));

// Custom delay, cancel-on-move disabled, release reporting
const stop = onLongPress(el, onHeld, {
  delay: 800,
  distanceThreshold: false,
  modifiers: { prevent: true },
  onMouseUp: (duration, distance, isLongPress) => {
    if (!isLongPress) onTap();
  },
});
