## What it is
react-swipeable is a lightweight, customizable React hook (useSwipeable) that provides swipe event handling for any HTML element. It exposes detailed swipe event data so developers can build touch interactions like carousels and swipeable components.

## Use cases
- add swipe gestures to a react component
- build a touch-enabled image carousel in react
- detect swipe direction on mobile web
- handle touch swipe events with a react hook
- make a div swipeable on mobile browsers
- implement swipe-to-navigate slides

## When to choose
- you need a small, focused hook for swipe/touch handling in React
- you want to attach swipe handlers to any HTML element without a full gesture library
- you're building carousels or swipeable UI in a React web app

## When to avoid
- you need multi-touch pinch/zoom or complex gesture recognition
- you're not using React
- you need native mobile app gesture handling rather than browser touch events
