useMouseMatrixTransform

Online Preview

Easily create draggable, zoomable layouts (maps, svg explorers, canvas dragging, etc.)

Allows you to easily create map-like interactions with a canvas element, this library gives you flexibility in what context you use the transformations because it just outputs/changes a transform matrix, not the actual elements contained inside of the element. This makes it flexible for a variety of use cases with custom renderers.

Installation

npm add --save use-mouse-matrix-transform

Props

useMouseMatrixTransform returns an object with the following properties:

• ref: Put this ref on the container element that you want to drag/zoom on
• transform A transformation matrix that transforms screen x,y coordinates into the target transform space
• applyTransformToPoint Take any [x,y] or { x, y } object and apply the transformation, returns a transformed point

Example

import useMouseMatrixTransform from "use-mouse-matrix-transform"
import { useEffect, useRef, useState } from "react"
import SomeLayoutObject from "./SomeLayoutObject"

export default ({ layout }: { layout: Layout }) => {
  const { ref, applyTransformToPoint } = useMouseMatrixTransform()

  return (
    <div>
      <div
        ref={ref}
        style={{
          position: "relative",
          backgroundColor: "#eee",
          height: 600,
          overflow: "hidden",
        }}
      >
        {layout.objects
          .map((obj) => applyTransformToPoint(obj))
          .map((obj, i) => (
            <SomeLayoutObject obj={obj} />
          ))}
      </div>
    </div>
  )
}
