How to detect Pull to refresh

have you tired these solutions??

You need to check this fiddle

var mouseY = 0
var startMouseY = 0

$("body").on("mousedown", function (ev) {
  mouseY = ev.pageY
  startMouseY = mouseY

  $(document).mousemove(function (e) {
    if (e.pageY > mouseY) {
      var d = e.pageY - startMouseY
      console.log("d: " + d)
      if (d >= 200) location.reload()
      $("body").css("margin-top", d / 4 + "px")
    } else $(document).unbind("mousemove")
  })
})

$("body").on("mouseup", function () {
  $("body").css("margin-top", "0px")
  $(document).unbind("mousemove")
})

$("body").on("mouseleave", function () {
  $("body").css("margin-top", "0px")
  $(document).unbind("mousemove")
})

and if you are looking for some plugin this plugin might help you


Performance requires minimal code

Plugins and libraries have to be written to be as flexible and general as possible, in order to solve many related problems. This means they'll always be bulkier than you need, impacting performance. It also means you'll never have to maintain that code. That's the trade off.

If performance is your goal, build it yourself.

Since ALL you need is a pull-down detection, build a simple swipe detector. Of course, you'll have to adapt this to your needs, and the event-properties, event-triggers of the OS and browser you're targeting.

Simplified from my old js-minimal-swipe-detect

var pStart = { x: 0, y: 0 };
var pStop = { x: 0, y: 0 };

function swipeStart(e) {
  if (typeof e["targetTouches"] !== "undefined") {
    var touch = e.targetTouches[0];
    pStart.x = touch.screenX;
    pStart.y = touch.screenY;
  } else {
    pStart.x = e.screenX;
    pStart.y = e.screenY;
  }
}

function swipeEnd(e) {
  if (typeof e["changedTouches"] !== "undefined") {
    var touch = e.changedTouches[0];
    pStop.x = touch.screenX;
    pStop.y = touch.screenY;
  } else {
    pStop.x = e.screenX;
    pStop.y = e.screenY;
  }

  swipeCheck();
}

function swipeCheck() {
  var changeY = pStart.y - pStop.y;
  var changeX = pStart.x - pStop.x;
  if (isPullDown(changeY, changeX)) {
    alert("Swipe Down!");
  }
}

function isPullDown(dY, dX) {
  // methods of checking slope, length, direction of line created by swipe action
  return (
    dY < 0 &&
    ((Math.abs(dX) <= 100 && Math.abs(dY) >= 300) ||
      (Math.abs(dX) / Math.abs(dY) <= 0.3 && dY >= 60))
  );
}

document.addEventListener(
  "touchstart",
  function (e) {
    swipeStart(e);
  },
  false
);
document.addEventListener(
  "touchend",
  function (e) {
    swipeEnd(e);
  },
  false
);

What about this?

var lastScrollPosition = 0;
window.onscroll = function(event)
{
  if((document.body.scrollTop >= 0) && (lastScrollPosition < 0))
  {
    alert("refresh");
  }
  lastScrollPosition = document.body.scrollTop;
}

If your browser doesn't scroll negative, then you could replace line 4 with something like this: if((document.body.scrollTop == 0) && (lastScrollPosition > 0))

Alternatively for android devices, you could swap out lastScrollPosition for "ontouchmove" or other gesture events.


I know this answer has been answered by a lot many people but it may help someone.

It's based on Mr. Pryamid's answer. but his answer does not work touch screen. that only works with mouse.

this answer works well on touch screen and desktop. i have tested in chrome in desktop and chrome in android
