What's the best way to detect a 'touch screen' device using JavaScript?

Question

I\'ve written a jQuery plug-in that\'s for use on both desktop and mobile devices. I wondered if there is a way with JavaScript to detect if the device has touch screen capa

Answer 1

Actually, I researched this question and consider all situations. because it is a big issue on my project too. So I reach the below function, it works for all versions of all browsers on all devices:

const isTouchDevice = () => {
  const prefixes = ['', '-webkit-', '-moz-', '-o-', '-ms-', ''];
  const mq = query => window.matchMedia(query).matches;

  if (
    'ontouchstart' in window ||
    (window.DocumentTouch && document instanceof DocumentTouch)
  ) {
    return true;
  }
  return mq(['(', prefixes.join('touch-enabled),('), 'heartz', ')'].join(''));
};

Hint: Definitely, the isTouchDevice just returns boolean values.
