All

Option Possible Values Default Simplified description
bubbles true
false 		true Turn event bubbling on or off
supportedButtons number[]
[0,1,2,3,4,8,16] 		[] Has only an effect if the input is made using a mouse. Restricts the recognizer to the corresponding mouse button.
Tap uses pointerEvent.button. See mdn pointerEvent.button docs for the button mapping.
All other recognizers use pointerEvent.buttons See mdn pointerEvent.buttons docs for the button mapping.
Example 
var options = {
	bubbles: false
};

var tapRecognizer = new Tap(domElement, options);

var pointerListener = new PointerListener(domElement, {
	supportedGestures : [tapRecognizer]
});

Tap

Option Possible Values Default Simplified description
maxDuration any number 200 If the pointer is longer on the surface than the given number (in milliseconds), Tap becomes invalid.
maxDistance any number 30 If the pointer is moved more than the given distance in px, Tap becomes invalid.
Example 
var options = {
	maxDuration: 200,
	maxDistance: 30
};

var tapRecognizer = new Tap(domElement, options);

var pointerListener = new PointerListener(domElement, {
	supportedGestures : [tapRecognizer]
});

Press

Option Possible Values Default Simplified description
minDuration any number 600 If the pointer is removed from the surface before the given number in milliseconds, Press becomes invalid.
maxDistance any number 10 If the pointer is moved more than the given distance in px, Press becomes invalid.

Pan

Option Possible Values Default Simplified description
supportedDirections DIRECTION_ALL, DIRECTION_HORIZONTAL, DIRECTION_VERTICAL

or a list[] with one or more of the following:
DIRECTION_LEFT, DIRECTION_RIGHT, DIRECTION_UP, DIRECTION_DOWN 		DIRECTION_ALL Define the directions which Pan is valid for.
Example 
var panOptions = {
supportedDirections : DIRECTION_HORIZONTAL
};

var panRecognizer = new Pan(domElement, panOptions);

var pointerListener = new PointerListener(domElement, {
supportedGestures : [panRecognizer]
});

Block

By default, contactjs recognizes several gestures simultaneously. You can prevent this using .block. 
var twoFingerPan = new TwoFingerPan(domElement);
var pinch = new Pinch(domElement);

twoFingerPan.block(pinch);
pinch.block(twoFingerPan);

var pointerListener = new PointerListener(domElement, {
supportedGestures : [twoFingerPan, pinch]
});
Now, pinch will not be recognized during a twoFingerPan and vice versa.
