Magic Trackpad's inertial scroll Detector

• Apple's Magic trackpad emits pseudo inertial scroll event. This module determines wheter a wheel event is a real event (generated by a user's action) or a pseudo inertial event.
• Working Demo

Install

npm instasll --save @hscmap/magic-trackpad-detector

Example (source code of the working demo)

import { MagicTrackpadDetector } from "@hscmap/magic-trackpad-detector"


window.addEventListener('load', e => {

    const mtd = new MagicTrackpadDetector()
    const historyCanvas = new HistoryCanvas(history, canvas)

    trackpad.addEventListener('wheel', e => {
        e.preventDefault()
        history.unshift([e.deltaY, mtd.inertial(e)])
        if (history.length > canvas.width)
            history.splice(canvas.width)
