mouse-pos

A super simple cross-browser library to get the correct coordinates of your mouse event. Just pass the method the event obj and it will return the distance you need (as array).

npm install mouse-pos

use it like this

var mouse = require("mouse-pos");
var el = document.getElementById("outside");
el.addEventListener("click", function(e){
console.log("rel coords", mouse.getRel(e)); // e.g. [5,5]
console.log("abs coords", mouse.getAbs(e)); // e.g. [205,205]
});

getRel(e) - relative to the target

[x,y]

getAbs(e) - absolute to the screen

[x,y]

getWheelDelta(e)

float of pixels the mouse wheel moved. Could be negative.

Enjoy!
