haptics

@capacitor/haptics

The Haptics API provides physical feedback to the user through touch or vibration.

On devices that don't have Taptic Engine or Vibrator, the API calls will resolve without performing any action.

Install

npm install @capacitor/haptics
npx cap sync

Example

import { Haptics, ImpactStyle } from '@capacitor/haptics';

const hapticsImpactMedium = async () => {
  await Haptics.impact({ style: ImpactStyle.Medium });
};

const hapticsImpactLight = async () => {
  await Haptics.impact({ style: ImpactStyle.Light });
};

const hapticsVibrate = async () => {
  await Haptics.vibrate();
};

const hapticsSelectionStart = async () => {
  await Haptics.selectionStart();
};

const hapticsSelectionChanged = async () => {
  await Haptics.selectionChanged();
};

const hapticsSelectionEnd = async () => {
  await Haptics.selectionEnd();
};

impact(...)

impact(options?: ImpactOptions | undefined) => Promise<void>

Trigger a haptics "impact" feedback

Param	Type
options	ImpactOptions

Since: 1.0.0

---

notification(...)

notification(options?: NotificationOptions | undefined) => Promise<void>

Trigger a haptics "notification" feedback

Param	Type
options	NotificationOptions

Since: 1.0.0

---

vibrate(...)

vibrate(options?: VibrateOptions | undefined) => Promise<void>

Vibrate the device

Param	Type
options	VibrateOptions

Since: 1.0.0

---

selectionStart()

selectionStart() => Promise<void>

Trigger a selection started haptic hint

Since: 1.0.0

---

selectionChanged()

selectionChanged() => Promise<void>

Trigger a selection changed haptic hint. If a selection was started already, this will cause the device to provide haptic feedback

Since: 1.0.0

---

selectionEnd()

selectionEnd() => Promise<void>

If selectionStart() was called, selectionEnd() ends the selection. For example, call this when a user has lifted their finger from a control
