md-swipe-left, an Angular directive is used to specify custom behavior when an element is swiped left.
md-swipe-right, an Angular directive is used to specify custom behavior when an element is swiped right.
md-swipe-up, an Angular directive is used to specify custom behavior when an element is swiped up.
