## What it is
A TypeScript library providing haptic (vibration) feedback for the mobile web, with integrations for React, Vue, Svelte, and vanilla JS. It wraps the browser Vibration API behind a simple trigger API with named patterns like 'success'.

## Use cases
- add haptic feedback to mobile web buttons
- trigger vibration patterns on user interactions
- use haptics in React components
- use haptics in Vue or Svelte apps
- give tactile feedback for form success or errors on mobile web

## When to choose
- you're building a mobile web app and want vibration feedback
- you use React, Vue, or Svelte and want a ready-made hook/component
- you want a small MIT-licensed wrapper around the Vibration API

## When to avoid
- you need native app haptics (iOS/Android SDKs)
- your target browsers don't support the Vibration API (e.g., iOS Safari)
- you need desktop-only feedback

## Facets
- artifact type: library
