@beoe/pan-zoom v0.0.3

@beoe/pan-zoom

Small JS library to add pan and zoom functionality to SVG (inline or image). It supports gestures for all types of devices:

Pay attention:

• gestures intentionally selected to not interfere with the system's default scroll gestures, to avoid "scroll traps"
• all actions are available through gestures, so it works without UI. You can add UI, though. Library exposes methods for this, like pan(dx, dy) and zoom(scale)

Demo

Usage

There are two flavors:

• Headless - without UI
• Default UI

Headless

If you have container element in HTML:

import { PanZoom } from "@beoe/pan-zoom";

document.querySelectorAll(".beoe").forEach((container) => {
  const element = container.querySelector("svg, img[src$='.svg' i]");
  if (!element) return;
  new PanZoom({ element, container }).on();
});

If you don't have container element in HTML:

import { PanZoom } from "@beoe/pan-zoom";

document.querySelectorAll("svg, img[src$='.svg' i]").forEach((element) => {
  if (element.parentElement?.tagName === "PICTURE") {
    element = element.parentElement;
  }
  const container = document.createElement("div");
  container.className = "beoe";
  element.replaceWith(container);
  container.append(element);
  new PanZoom({ element, container }).on();
});

Additionally following CSS is required:

.beoe {
  overflow: hidden;
  touch-action: pan-x pan-y;
  user-select: none;
  cursor: grab;
}

.beoe svg,
.beoe img {
  /* need to center smaller images to fix bug in zoom functionality */
  margin: auto;
  display: block;
  /* need to fit bigger images */
  max-width: 100%;
  height: auto;
}

.beoe img {
  pointer-events: none;
}

Instance methods:

• on() - adds event listeners
• off() - removes event listeners
• pan(dx, dy) - pans image
• zoom(scale) - zooms image
• reset() - resets pan and zoom values

Default UI

import "@beoe/pan-zoom/css/PanZoomUi.css";
import { PanZoomUi } from "@beoe/pan-zoom";

document.querySelectorAll(".beoe").forEach((container) => {
  const element = container.firstElementChild;
  if (!element) return;
  new PanZoomUi({ element, container }).on();
});

Additionally, CSS to style UI required (for example with Tailwind):

.beoe .buttons {
  @apply inline-flex;
}
.beoe .zoom-in {
  @apply bg-gray-300 hover:bg-gray-400 text-gray-800 font-bold py-2 px-4 rounded-l;
}
.beoe .reset {
  @apply bg-gray-300 hover:bg-gray-400 text-gray-800 font-bold py-2 px-4;
}
.beoe .zoom-out {
  @apply bg-gray-300 hover:bg-gray-400 text-gray-800 font-bold py-2 px-4 rounded-r;
}

You can configure HTML classes used by UI:

const classes = {
  zoomIn: "zoom-in",
  reset: "reset",
  zoomOut: "zoom-out",
  buttons: "buttons",
  tsWarning: "touchscreen-warning",
  tsWarningActive: "active",
};

new PanZoomUi({ element, container, classes });

and message with instructions for the touchscreen:

const message = "Use two fingers to pan and zoom";

new PanZoomUi({ element, container, message });

Pixelation in Safari

Be aware that some CSS will cause pixelation of SVG on zoom (bug in Safari), for example:

• will-change: transform;
• transform: matrix3d(...);
• transition-property: transform; (it setles after animation, though)
