# NativeScript Eventify

NativeScript has a method called `notify` you can use to notify an observable of changes. But you can't use it to trigger events like `tap` or `swipe`, enter NativeScript Eventify.

## NativeScript 8

This will work only on NativeScript 8.

## Supported Events

 - `tap`

## Roadmap

 - Add support for `doubleTap` events
 - Add support for `longPress` events
 - Add support for `swipe` events
 - Add support for `pan` events
 - Add support for `pinch` events
 - Add support for `rotate` events
 - Add support for `touch` events

## Installation

```
ns plugin add @oliverphaser/nativescript-eventify
```

## Usage 

Just require it once.
```js
//app.js
require("@oliverphaser/nativescript-eventify");
```

```js
/**
* home-page.js
*
* Assume the view already has the event listner(s) setup.
*/

// Simulates a tap event
view.eventify({ eventName: "tap", object: view });
```

Take a look at this [Playground](https://play.nativescript.org/?template=play-js&id=PpA1wb&v=6) for a working example.
