Changing touchevents to click events dynamically

Question

I am working on a mobile app and have got lots of touch events on various elements. Unfortunately I cannot test my app on my pc browser as it does not support touchevents. Is there any way I can change all touch events to click events dynamically if I am running on a pc ( ofcourse by checking the useragent ) ?

Thanking you

Chrome Developer Tools support touch emulation. But it's not that comfort to use. So I just made a chrome extension for touch event emulation. It translate mousedown, mousemove, mouseup events to touchstart, touchmove, touchend. It actually simulate iphone5, so user agent also changed.
