Magnifying Glass Effect – part 2

// The magnification factor; an integer greater than 1
const zoom = 3; 
// The radius of the glass (as a percentage of the image's width)
// a number between 1 and 100, inclusive
const radius = 25;

const container = document.querySelector('.container');
const glass = document.querySelector('.glass');
const { style } = glass;
style.setProperty('--zoom', zoom);

// Add the magnified image as a clone
// This way it'll include any filter applied to the original image
const img = container.querySelector('img').cloneNode();
glass.append(img);

container.addEventListener('mousemove', (e) => {
  // ISSUE: The diameter of the glass is, as the magnification gets bigger, smaller than expected
  const clipPath = `${radius / zoom}% at ${e.offsetX * zoom}px ${e.offsetY * zoom}px`;
  
  style.setProperty('--clip-path', clipPath);
  style.setProperty('--left', `${(zoom - 1 ) * -e.offsetX}px`)
  style.setProperty('--top', `${(zoom - 1 ) * -e.offsetY}px`)
