swipeButton.js

SwipeButton is a jQuery Mobile plugin which allows developers to add iPhone style buttons to listview rows by attaching to the swipe event. This project contains everything you need to get started.

jQuery Mobile 1.1 compatible

jQuery Mobile made a slight change in version 1.1 with the way they create buttons inside list views. swipeButton has been updated to account for that change and offers a test case for your perusal.

Usage & Documentation

Minimum usage requires that you override the default click event. All other arguments are optional.

	click: function(e){
		e.preventDefault();
		$(this).parents('li').remove();
	}
});

$('#swipeMe li').swipeDelete({
	direction: 'swiperight', // standard jquery mobile event name
	btnLabel: 'Delete',
	btnTheme: 'b',
	btnClass: 'aSwipeBtn',
	click: function(e){
		e.preventDefault();
		var url = $(e.target).attr('href');
		$(this).parents('li').remove();
		$.post(url, function(data) {
			console.log(data);
		});
	}
});
