Touch and click events on mobile

[PainKKKiller]

Tested my project on android device and found that my application don't react on any touches. Started to debug and found that function written in this way never fires:

 sprite.click = function(e) {
        console.log("click!!");
 }

So I have to work it correctly to dublicate it in this manner:

sprite.click = function(e) {
        console.log("click!!");
}

sprite.on('touchend', function(e) {
        console.log("touch!!");
});

So I wonder is there any way to avoid code dublication?

First of all, I always prefer the second syntax.

sprite.on('click', callback)

Second, you can use pointer events instead of having both mouse and touch events

sprite.on('pointerdown', callback);

Examples have all been updated recently, so might be with having another look through them. For example: https://pixijs.github.io/examples/#/basics/click.js

And the docs show all of the available events you can listen to: http://pixijs.download/v4.3.4/docs/PIXI.interaction.InteractionManager.html#event:click
