## Detailed Description

SwipeDelegate presents a view item that can be swiped left or right to expose more options or information. It is used as a delegate in views such as ListView.

SwipeDelegate inherits its API from AbstractButton. For instance, you can set text and react to clicks using the AbstractButton API.

Information regarding the progress of a swipe, as well as the components that should be shown upon swiping, are both available through the swipe grouped property object. For example, `swipe.position` holds the position of the swipe within the range `-1.0` to `1.0`. The `swipe.left` property determines which item will be displayed when the control is swiped to the right, and vice versa for `swipe.right`. The positioning of these components is left to applications to decide. For example, without specifying any position for `swipe.left` or `swipe.right`, the following will occur:

If `swipe.left` and `swipe.right` are anchored to the left and right of the background item (respectively), they'll behave like this:

When using `swipe.left` and `swipe.right`, the control cannot be swiped past the left and right edges. To achieve this type of "wrapping" behavior, set `swipe.behind` instead. This will result in the same item being shown regardless of which direction the control is swiped. For example, in the image below, we set `swipe.behind` and then swipe the control repeatedly in both directions:

Property | Description
--- | ---
position | This property holds the position of the swipe relative to either side of the control. When this value reaches either `-1.0` (left side) or `1.0` (right side) and the mouse button is released, `complete` will be `true`.
complete | This property holds whether the control is fully exposed after having been swiped to the left or right. When complete is `true`, any interactive items declared in `left`, `right`, or `behind` will receive mouse events.
left | This property holds the left delegate. The left delegate sits behind both contentItem and background. When the SwipeDelegate is swiped to the right, this item will be gradually revealed. Both interactive and non-interactive items can be used here. Normal event handling rules apply; if an interactive control like Button is used, interaction signals of SwipeDelegate such as clicked() will not get emitted if the button is clicked.
behind | This property holds the delegate that is shown when the SwipeDelegate is swiped to both the left and right. As with the `left` and `right` delegates, it sits behind both contentItem and background. However, a SwipeDelegate whose `behind` has been set can be continuously swiped from either side, and will always show the same item. Both interactive and non-interactive items can be used here. Normal event handling rules apply; if an interactive control like Button is used, interaction signals of SwipeDelegate such as clicked() will not get emitted if the button is clicked.
right | This property holds the right delegate. The right delegate sits behind both contentItem and background. When the SwipeDelegate is swiped to the left, this item will be gradually revealed. Both interactive and non-interactive items can be used here. Normal event handling rules apply; if an interactive control like Button is used, interaction signals of SwipeDelegate such as clicked() will not get emitted if the button is clicked.
leftItem | This property holds the item instantiated from the `left` component. If `left` has not been set, or the position hasn't changed since creation of the SwipeDelegate, this property will be `null`.
behindItem | This property holds the item instantiated from the `behind` component. If `behind` has not been set, or the position hasn't changed since creation of the SwipeDelegate, this property will be `null`.
rightItem | This property holds the item instantiated from the `right` component. If `right` has not been set, or the position hasn't changed since creation of the SwipeDelegate, this property will be `null`.
