Fixed zoom minus button not being disabled at initial state.
The issue was the tolerance in the isZoomAtMin computed signal:
- Was: zoom <= MIN_ZOOM + 0.01 (with tolerance)
- Now: zoom <= MIN_ZOOM (exact, like brightness)
Brightness controls work perfectly because isBrightnessAtMin uses
an exact comparison without tolerance. Now zoom works the same way.
With the tolerance, the initial state (1.0) might not have been
considered "at min" depending on floating point precision, causing
the button to stay enabled when it should be disabled.
Increased both zoom and brightness max values for better demo experience:
- maxBrightness: 2.0 → 3.0 (can brighten to 3x)
- limitZoom: 5 → 8 (can zoom to 8x)
This provides:
- Brightness: 1.0 → 3.0 (3x range, 0.1 step = 20 clicks to max)
- Zoom: 1.0 → 8.0 (8x range, 0.5 step = 14 clicks to max)
Gives users a good range to test the custom controls and see the
reset behavior when reaching maximum values.
Fixed zoom control issues:
1. Zoom minus not disabled on initial load
2. Zoom plus stopping at 1.50 instead of continuing
3. Zoom minus not working when zoom > 1.00
Changes:
- Added effect to sync customZoomState with component's actual scale on init
- Added float tolerance (0.01) to isZoomAtMin comparison
- Set explicit [limitZoom]="5" to allow higher zoom levels
- Changed zoom handlers to check returned scale value instead of predicting max
- Manually reset customZoomState to 1 when destroy() is called
The effect ensures the initial state is always synced with the component,
preventing disabled state issues. The explicit limitZoom prevents early
max detection. Checking returned values makes max detection more reliable.
Changed zoom controls to use event-based state tracking to match the
working brightness control pattern exactly.
Root cause: Reading zoom directly from component's computed properties
created reactivity issues. The brightness controls work because they
use simple event-based state tracking.
Solution:
- Restored customZoomState signal
- Added onCustomZoomChanged event handler
- Listen to (zoomChanged) event in template
- Use customZoomState in all zoom logic and computed signals
- Use fixed ZOOM_STEP constant (0.5) instead of reading from component
- Added tolerance (0.01) to max scale comparison
This matches the brightness pattern exactly:
1. Component emits event when state changes
2. Event handler updates local signal
3. Computed signals react to local signal
4. Template displays local signal
Benefits:
- Simple, predictable reactivity via events
- Isolated state per example
- Matches working brightness pattern
- No complex signal chaining issues
Fixed TypeScript compilation error:
"TS2349: This expression is not callable"
The issue was accessing viewChild signal and calling nested computed
properties directly in the template. Angular's template compiler had
issues with the complex chained expression.
Solution:
- Created customZoomScale computed signal
- Simplified template expression from:
{{ customPinch()?.scale().toFixed(2) || 1 }}
- To cleaner:
{{ customZoomScale().toFixed(2) }}
Benefits:
- Fixes compilation error
- Cleaner template code
- Better performance (computed signal caches value)
Fixed zoom control issues where buttons didn't work correctly:
- Zoom minus was not disabled on initial state
- Zoom plus only worked once instead of incrementally
- Zoom minus sometimes reduced below minimum
Root cause: Tracking zoom state separately via events created sync issues
Solution:
- Read zoom directly from component's scale() computed property
- Use component's _zoomControlScale() for zoom increments
- Removed separate customZoomState signal and onCustomZoomChanged handler
- Added [minScale]="1" to enforce minimum zoom level
- isZoomAtMin now computed from pinch.scale() directly
Benefits:
- Always accurate - no sync issues
- Simpler code - one source of truth
- Buttons enable/disable correctly based on actual zoom state
Fixed issues with custom controls where shared state caused problems:
- Zoom minus button not disabled on initial load
- Zoom plus only working once instead of incrementally
Root cause: All examples shared the same zoomstate/brightnessstate signals
through common event handlers, causing state pollution.
Solution:
- Created separate signals: customZoomState, customBrightnessState
- Added dedicated handlers: onCustomZoomChanged, onCustomBrightnessChanged
- Updated template to use custom handlers and display custom state
- Computed signals now reference isolated custom state
Now custom controls work independently from other examples on the page.
Improve custom controls example with intelligent button behavior:
- Minus buttons disabled when at minimum (initial state)
- Plus buttons reset to minimum when at maximum
- Prevents going below min values
- Provides intuitive UX with disabled states
Implementation:
- Added computed signals: isZoomAtMin, isBrightnessAtMin, isBrightnessAtMax
- Created handler methods: handleZoomIn/Out, handleBrightnessIn/Out
- Handlers check limits and reset when appropriate
- Template binds [disabled] to computed signals
Benefits:
- Users can't accidentally go below minimum
- Easy reset from maximum with single click
- Clear visual feedback via disabled buttons
- Clean pattern for custom toolbar integration
Add comprehensive examples demonstrating custom zoom and brightness controls:
- New example in app.component.html showing plus/minus buttons for both features
- Updated README with custom controls section showing how to build custom UI
- Demonstrates disabling default controls and using public methods
- Useful for integrating controls into custom toolbars or layouts
Public methods used:
- zoomIn(value) / zoomOut(value) for zoom control
- brightnessIn() / brightnessOut() for brightness control
Update brightness toggle to increment by step amounts rather than jumping to max:
- Click repeatedly increases brightness by brightnessStep increments
- When max brightness is reached, clicking resets to normal (1.0)
- Provides smooth, granular control for detail visibility
- Updated README and examples to explain incremental behavior
- Changed brightness controls from two buttons (increase/decrease) to single toggle button
- Button toggles between normal (1.0) and max brightness
- Matches zoom control UX pattern for consistency
- Updated BrightnessControlsComponent to use single button with two states
- Added toggleBrightness() method to container component
- Added isBrightened computed signal to track brightness state
- Visual feedback: outline sun (normal) vs filled sun (brightened)
Better UX: Single button is cleaner and more intuitive, consistent with zoom control.
- Moved brightness control styles from container SASS to BrightnessControlsComponent
- Moved zoom control styles from container SASS to ZoomControlsComponent
- Fixed Angular view encapsulation issue preventing styles from applying
- Added @brianpooe/ngx-pinch-zoom path mapping to tsconfig.json
- Updated app component to import from @brianpooe/ngx-pinch-zoom
This fixes the issue where control icons were not visible due to Angular's
view encapsulation preventing parent component styles from applying to
child presentational components. Each component now contains its own styles.
- Removed removeBasicStyles() call from destroy()
- Keeps layout styles (display: flex, alignItems, justifyContent) intact
- Only resets zoom state and removes event listeners
- Component remains visually correct after calling destroy()
This allows destroy() to be used as a manual reset method without
breaking the component's visual layout. The component can now be
safely reset without removing essential flex container styles.
- Added zoom state reset (scale=1, moveX=0, moveY=0) before cleanup
- Explicitly sets transform to 'none' and transition to 'none'
- Prevents image from appearing enlarged/overflowed after destroy
- Ensures clean state restoration before removing event listeners
This fixes the issue where calling destroy() would enlarge the image
and cause overflow instead of properly resetting the component state.
- Added null checks in getImageElement() for this.element
- Updated getImageHeight() and getImageWidth() to use optional chaining
- Added guards in isDragging() for this.element and this.parentElement
- Returns safe defaults (0, false, undefined) when service not initialized
This fixes TypeError in zoneless mode where computed signals are evaluated
immediately during template rendering, before ngOnInit() runs. The guards
ensure methods return safe values until the service is properly initialized.
Critical for Angular 20 zoneless change detection compatibility.
- Added explicit provideZonelessChangeDetection() from @angular/core
- Follows official Angular 20 zoneless documentation
- Explicit configuration is better than implicit defaults
- Enables zoneless mode for optimal performance with signals
- Removed provideZonelessChangeDetection() call
- In Angular 20+, zoneless is stable and default when no zone provider specified
- No Zone.js dependency needed - cleaner and more performant
- Aligns with official Angular 20 zoneless documentation
- Added provideZonelessChangeDetection() to enable zoneless mode
- Resolves NG0908 error (Angular requires Zone.js)
- Modern approach that works perfectly with signals-based library
- No Zone.js dependency needed for the example app
Documentation updates:
- Corrected library README to reflect IvyPinchService and TouchesService are Angular services, not utility classes
- Updated CHANGELOG to accurately describe service architecture
- All services now correctly documented as using Angular's DI system
Example app modernization:
- Converted AppComponent to standalone component (removed NgModule)
- Updated to use Angular 20 signals (signal() for state)

Restructured the ngx-pinch-zoom library following Angular best practices:
**Architecture Changes:**
1. **Models Layer** (new):
- zoom-config.model.ts - Configuration interfaces for zoom behavior
- transform-state.model.ts - Transform state and metadata interfaces
- brightness-state.model.ts - Brightness configuration and state
- click-to-zoom.model.ts - Click-to-zoom configuration and events
- All models exported via barrel file for clean imports
2. **Services Layer** (new):
- BrightnessService (@Injectable)
* Signal-based reactive brightness state management
* Computed state with atMin/atMax bounds checking
* Increase/decrease/setValue/reset methods
* Configuration management with min/max/step
- ZoomStateService (@Injectable)
* Signal-based reactive zoom/transform state management
* Computed extended state with isZoomedIn, atMaxScale, atMinScale
* Transform state updates and limit management
