I need to implement touch based events in backbonejs View. I tried with hammer jquery special events but it didn't work for me.

Answer 1

Try extending the events with the check mobile deveice and add specific events like

events: function() {
    return MOBILE ? 
       {
         "touchstart": 'select'
       } : 
       {
         "mousedown": 'select'
       }
  }

As we can see from the question Backbone.js click event doesn't work with touch

Answer 2

use it as a jquery plugin and then normally use the events property to set it up and listen for these events on desired elements

events: {
    'tap': 'onTap',
    'hold .dragging-handle': 'onHold'
    // etc...
},

onTap: function(e) {
    // do whatever with the event data 
}
