iOS Double-Click Demo

+

+ Test the double-click/tap functionality. Works on all devices including iOS. +

+
+ +
+ {/* Standard mode with both single and double click */} +
+

Standard Mode

+ +
+

+ Single Clicks: {singleClickCount} +

+

+ Double Clicks: {doubleClickCount} +

+

+ Last Action: {lastAction || 'None'} +

+
+
+ + {/* Double-click only mode */} +
+

Double-Click Only Mode

+ +

+ This button only responds to double clicks/taps. Single clicks are ignored. +

+
+
+ +
+

Features:

+
    +
  • Reliable double-tap detection on iOS devices
  • +
  • Prevents ghost clicks (300ms delay issue on iOS)
  • +
  • Configurable delay between clicks
  • +
  • Optional single-click callback
  • +
  • Works across all platforms (iOS, Android, Desktop)
  • +
  • Touch and click event support
  • +
+
+ +
+

💡 Usage Example:

+
+{`import { useDoubleClick } from '@/hooks/use-double-click';
+
+const { onClick, onTouchEnd } = useDoubleClick({
+  onSingleClick: () => console.log('single'),
+  onDoubleClick: () => console.log('double'),
+  delay: 300, // optional, default is 300ms
+});
+
