Angular ng-tap directive

ngTap.js

(function(angular) {
  'use strict';

  var directives = angular.module('app.directives', []);

  directives.directive('ngTap', function() {
    return function(scope, element, attrs) {
      var tapping;
      tapping = false;
      element.bind('touchstart', function(e) {
        element.addClass('active');
        tapping = true;
      });
      element.bind('touchmove', function(e) {
        element.removeClass('active');
        tapping = false;
      });
      element.bind('touchend', function(e) {
        element.removeClass('active');
        if (tapping) {
          scope.$apply(attrs['ngTap'], element);
        }
      });
    };
  });
})(angular);

Why is ng-tap not apart of angularJS library?
Can we add it there?

@Urigo good question.

I think better mobile support is coming in Angular 1.2. Including gestures, etc.

This is a great solution for now, however!

Captain Obvious: this doesn't work when testing on a browser, make sure to use a mobile device

You can test in Chrome, Developer Console -> (press escape) -> Emulation -> Sensors -> Emulate Touch Screen
