jQuery on ‘double click’ event (dblclick for mobile)

by

I ended up building a custom double click function that will work on both mobile and desktop:

var touchtime = 0;
$(".target").on("click", function() {
    if (touchtime == 0) {
        // set first click
        touchtime = new Date().getTime();
    } else {
        // compare first click to this click and see if they occurred within double click threshold
        if (((new Date().getTime()) - touchtime) < 800) {
            // double click occurred
            alert("double clicked");
            touchtime = 0;
        } else {
            // not a double click so set as a new first click
            touchtime = new Date().getTime();
        }
    }
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="target">Double click me</div>

Alternatively, here is the JSfiddle Demo.
