touchEvents property

Feature touchEvents

Whether the browser supports TouchEvents.

Related: msTouchEvents

As of Dart 2.5.0, TouchEvent.supported is always true on Chrome 70+, even on non-touch devices.

This feature checks whether maxTouchPoints is greater than 0 (if it exists, falling back to TouchEvent.supported), which is the recommended way to check for touch screens.
