@kjn/svg-pan-zoom

Live Demo

The simplest panning and zooming library for SVG elements in HTML. The barebone approach leaves everything besides enabling panning and zooming to the user.

This library allows your SVG elements to be both pannable and zoomable instantly without forcing any coding style, patterns, or requirements on the user, the opt-in library approach allows you to seamlessly add zoom and pan features to any SVG element.

How to use

When using npm simply install the dependency and start using it in your projects.

npm install --save @kjn/svg-pan-zoom
OR
yarn add @kjn/svg-pan-zoom

After acquiring the library you can import the class in any way you'd like.

Option 1 (preferred) - using EcmaScript Modules (ESM):

import SvgPanZoom from "@kjn/svg-pan-zoom";

// Adds panning and zooming capabilities to this element.
new SvgPanZoom(document.getElementById("svg"));

Option 2 - using CommonJS modules:

const SvgPanZoom = require("@kjn/svg-pan-zoom");

// Adds panning and zooming capabilities to this element.
new SvgPanZoom(document.getElementById("svg"));

Example:

<!-- script[type=module] allows you to import modules -->
<script type="module">
  import SvgPanZoom from "@kjn/svg-pan-zoom";

  // This will initialise panning and zooming for this svg element.
  new SvgPanZoom(document.getElementById("svg"));
</script>

Options

The options object knows the following parameters

Option	Description
logger	Object implementing info, error, warn debug and log as functions

const options = {
  logger: {
    info: console.info,
    error: console.error,
    warn: console.warn,
    log: console.log,
    debug: console.debug,

new SvgPanZoom(element, options);

Events

SvgPanZoom emits events on action. The events that are exposed are:

Event	Description
zoom	The zoom level of the svg element has changed
pan	The panning of the svg element has changed

const svgPanZoom = new SvgPanZoom(element);
svgPanZoom.on("zoom", (newScale: number) => {
  console.log(`The element is zoomed in ${newScale}x`);
});
svgPanZoom.on("pan", (x: number, y: number) => {
  console.log(`The top left pixel its viewBox is showing [x:${x}, y:${y}]`);
});

Methods / Properties

The methods that are exposed to the user are:

Method / Property	Description
zoom(desiredScale: number)	Allows the user to set the scale the svg element
scale	Allows the user to get the scale of the svg element

const svgPanZoom = new SvgPanZoom(element);
svgPanZoom.zoom(0.1); // Increase the zoomlevel by 10%
svgPanZoom.zoom(-0.1); // Decrease the zoomlevel by 10%

console.log("The current scale is: " + svgPanZoom.scale);
