# Tutorial: Handlers and events

## Handlers and events

touchSwipe

#### events: `tap` `hold` `swipe` `swipeLeft` `swipeRight` `swipeUp` `swipeDown` `swipeStatus` `pinch` `pinchIn` `pinchOut` `pinchStatus`

See the docs for more on each event

You can either assign callback methods as part of the options object, or you can assign event handlers using the jQuery `on`/`off` event registration.

The example below logs both from the callback and the event handlers. The Remove Events button will remove the event bindings, and then only the callbacks will be logged. Event logs are bold, callbacks are normal.
