javascript current cursor position code example

Example 1: position of the mouse cursor javascript

(function() {
    document.onmousemove = handleMouseMove;
    function handleMouseMove(event) {
        var eventDoc, doc, body;

        event = event || window.event; // IE-ism

        // If pageX/Y aren't available and clientX/Y are,
        // calculate pageX/Y - logic taken from jQuery.
        // (This is to support old IE)
        if (event.pageX == null && event.clientX != null) {
            eventDoc = (event.target && event.target.ownerDocument) || document;
            doc = eventDoc.documentElement;
            body = eventDoc.body;

            event.pageX = event.clientX +
              (doc && doc.scrollLeft || body && body.scrollLeft || 0) -
              (doc && doc.clientLeft || body && body.clientLeft || 0);
            event.pageY = event.clientY +
              (doc && doc.scrollTop  || body && body.scrollTop  || 0) -
              (doc && doc.clientTop  || body && body.clientTop  || 0 );
        }

        // Use event.pageX / event.pageY here
    }
})();

Example 2: javascript detect cursor

/* npm i tappify */
import Tappify from "tappify";

/* Only works in react.js */
function myComponent() {
  return <>
    <Tappify.Finger>
      Client is using finger *tap tap*
    </Tappify.Finger>
 
    <Tappify.Cursor>
      Client is using mouse cursor *click click*
    </Tappify.Cursor>
  </>
