Question

This is a WEB APP not a native app. Please no Objective-C NS commands.

So I need to detect \'pinch\' events on iOS. Problem is every plugin or metho

Answer 1

detect two fingers pinch zoom on any element, easy and w/o hassle with 3rd party libs like Hammer.js (beware, hammer has issues with scrolling!)

function onScale(el, callback) {
    let hypo = undefined;

    el.addEventListener('touchmove', function(event) {
        if (event.targetTouches.length === 2) {
            let hypo1 = Math.hypot((event.targetTouches[0].pageX - event.targetTouches[1].pageX),
                (event.targetTouches[0].pageY - event.targetTouches[1].pageY));
            if (hypo === undefined) {
                hypo = hypo1;
            }
            callback(hypo1/hypo);
        }
    }, false);


    el.addEventListener('touchend', function(event) {
        hypo = undefined;
    }, false);
}
