Pinch Gesture is not working

Pinch gesture activation :

import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { Gesture } from 'ionic-angular';

...

export class Toto {

    ...

    private gesture: Gesture;
    @ViewChild('image') element;

    ...

    ionViewDidLoad() {
	//create gesture obj w/ ref to DOM element
	this.gesture = new Gesture(this.element.nativeElement);

	//listen for the gesture
	this.gesture.listen();

	//turn on listening for pinch or rotate events
	this.gesture.on('pinch', e => this.pinchEvent(e));
    }

    private pinchEvent(event) {
        console.log(event);
    }

    ...
}

image “selector” needs to be added into your template :

<div #image></div>
