## Overview

Specify custom behavior when an element is swiped to the left on a touchscreen device. A leftward swipe is a quick, right-to-left slide of the finger. Though ngSwipeLeft is designed for touch-based devices, it will work with a mouse click and drag too.

To disable the mouse click and drag functionality, add `ng-swipe-disable-mouse` to the `ng-swipe-left` or `ng-swipe-right` DOM Element.

Requires the `ngTouch` module to be installed.
