Get mouse wheel events in jQuery?

Question

Is there a way to get the mouse wheel events (not talking about scroll events) in jQuery?

Answer 1

If using mentioned jquery mousewheel plugin, then what about to use the 2nd argument of event handler function - delta:

$('#my-element').on('mousewheel', function(event, delta) {
    if(delta > 0) {
    console.log('scroll up');
    } 
    else {
    console.log('scroll down');
    }
});
