## What it is
A Vue.js plugin that wraps Hammer.js 2.0 to expose touch gestures (tap, swipe, pan, pinch) as directives like v-touch. It is deprecated, unmaintained, and only compatible with Vue 1.0.

## Use cases
- handle tap and swipe gestures in Vue 1.0 apps
- add touch event directives to Vue components
- configure Hammer.js recognizer options per element
- register custom gesture events like doubletap in Vue

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Vue 1.0 app already using it
- you need a thin directive wrapper over Hammer.js in Vue 1.0

## When to avoid
- you use Vue 2 or Vue 3 - it is unsupported
- starting a new project - the plugin is deprecated and unmaintained
- you need maintained touch gesture support

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, plugin-system
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
