Install

Download PulltoRefresh either from the NPM Registry, CDNJS or UNPKG:

$ npm install pulltorefreshjs --save-dev
$ wget -O ptr.js https://unpkg.com/pulltorefreshjs@0.1.16/dist/pulltorefresh.js

Include the JS file in your webapp and initialize it:

const ptr = PullToRefresh.init({
  mainElement: 'body',
  onRefresh() {
    window.location.reload();
