Angular 14 ngx-image-zoom Library to Zoom Product Images on Hover in Browser Using TypeScript

Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be using the ngx-image-zoom library to zoom product images on hover using typescript in browser. All the full source code of the application is shown below.

Get Started

In order to get started you need to make a new angular project using the below command as shown below

ng new sampleproject

cd sampleproject

And after that you need to install the below libraries using the below command as shown below

npm i ngx-image-zoom

And after that you will see the below directory structure of the angular app as shown below

First of all you need to go to app.module.ts file and copy paste the following code

app.module.ts

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { NgxImageZoomModule } from 'ngx-image-zoom';


@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    NgxImageZoomModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})

export class AppModule{}

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

import { NgxImageZoomModule } from 'ngx-image-zoom';

@NgModule({

declarations: [

AppComponent

imports: [

BrowserModule,

NgxImageZoomModule

providers: [],

bootstrap: [AppComponent]

})

export class AppModule{}

And now we need to go to app.component.html file and copy paste the following code

app.component.html

<lib-ngx-image-zoom
    [thumbImage]=myThumbnail
    [fullImage]=myFullresImage
    [magnification]="1"
    [enableScrollZoom]="true"
    [enableLens]="true"
    [lensWidth]="500"
    [lensHeight]="500"
    [circularLens]="true"	
></lib-ngx-image-zoom>

<lib-ngx-image-zoom

[thumbImage]=myThumbnail

[fullImage]=myFullresImage

[magnification]="1"

[enableScrollZoom]="true"

[enableLens]="true"

[lensWidth]="500"

[lensHeight]="500"

[circularLens]="true"

></lib-ngx-image-zoom>

As you can see in the above html code we have the lib-ngx-image-zoom directive in which we have the image variable that we are having the zoom filter. And then we have the magnification factor which is the numeric value. And then we have the lens width and height which is set to 500 and then we have the option of circular lens.

And now we need to go to app.component.ts file and copy paste the below code

app.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],
})
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'angular-img-hover';
  myThumbnail = 'https://wittlock.github.io/ngx-image-zoom/assets/thumb.jpg';
  myFullresImage =
    'https://wittlock.github.io/ngx-image-zoom/assets/fullres.jpg';
}

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({

selector: 'app-root',

templateUrl: './app.component.html',

styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],

})

export class AppComponent {

title = 'angular-img-hover';

myThumbnail = 'https://wittlock.github.io/ngx-image-zoom/assets/thumb.jpg';

myFullresImage =

'https://wittlock.github.io/ngx-image-zoom/assets/fullres.jpg';

}

As you can see we are fetching the images from the url and attaching to the thumbnail url variable that we will be zooming in inside the html.
