Vertical scroll is not working with HammerJS and Angular2


I'm having a problem using the HammerJS with Angular2. I have a carousel (based on the bootstrap carousel with Angular2 event handlers) where I'm listening to the swipe left and swipe right events. The swipe itself works perfectly. The problem is that since I use the HammerJS I can not scroll up/down over my carousel component and since it's a full viewport sized item it's a huge issue.

How can this issue be solved?

Platform:
Angular2 2.1.2
Samsung Galaxy S2 with Android 5.1.1
Google Chrome for Android: 54.0.2840.85


Solution

  • Got it!

    In your AppModule:

    import { HAMMER_GESTURE_CONFIG, HammerGestureConfig } from '@angular/platform-browser';
    
    export class MyHammerConfig extends HammerGestureConfig {
        overrides = <any> {
            'pinch': { enable: false },
            'rotate': { enable: false }
        }
    }
    
    @NgModule({
        declarations: [
            // ...
        ],
        imports: [
            // ...
        ],
        providers: [
            // ...
            {
                provide: HAMMER_GESTURE_CONFIG,
                useClass: MyHammerConfig
            }
        ],
        bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
    })
    export class AppModule {}
    

    Now vertical scrolling works, after disabling pinch and rotate. Couldn't find any other way so far. I'm not sure what happens to the pinch and rotate events (I mean they would be disabled, I think). But even without this config, attaching a (pinch)="onPinch($event)" - didn't do anything anyway.

    Angular version in my project: 2.4.1
