A lightweight TypeScript library for image zooming, as seen on Medium.
Install the package via npm:
npm install --save zoom.ts
The example directory contains the code used to demonstrate
an application with zoom.ts installed.
To integrate zoom.ts into a static site, import the UMD module and
interface with the library via the global window.zoom. The snippet below
demonstrates linking the bundle (dist/zoom.js) and the stylesheet
(dist/zoom.css). It then calls the listen function to add an
event listener to the document.body when the page is ready.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/zoom.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="dist/zoom.js"></script>
<script>window.zoom.listen();</script>
</head>
<body>
<img
class="zoom__image"
src="tower.jpeg"
data-width="2048"
data-height="1366"
data-src="tower-full.jpeg"
/>
</body>
</html>To integrate zoom.ts into a web application, follow the steps outlined below:
- Detect and store the
Featuresof thedocument.body.style - Locate the element you wish to make zoomable
- Register a
ZoomListeneron the target image - In the listener's callback, create and store a
Zoominstance - Call
expandon theZoominstance to begin zooming the image - If the user navigates to a different page in the application, call
destroyon theZoominstance
The snippet below demonstrates finding the first element with the zoom__image
class and adding a ZoomListener to any click events it fires. When fired,
the event listener will create a Zoom instance and store it as a variable
named zoom, then immediately expand the image. After 5 seconds have passed,
the zoom will be forcefully removed via the call to destroy.
import {
detectFeatures,
Zoom,
ZoomDOM,
ZoomListener
} from 'zoom.ts';
let features = detectFeatures(document.body.style); // (1)
let image = document.querySelector('.zoom__image'); // (2)
image.addEventListener('click', new ZoomListener(dom => { // (3)
let zoom = new Zoom(dom, features); // (4)
zoom.expand(); // (5)
setTimeout(() => {
zoom.destroy(); // (6)
}, 5000);
