blueimp Gallery Demo

Description

blueimp Gallery is a touch-enabled, responsive and customizable image and video gallery, carousel and lightbox, optimized for both mobile and desktop web browsers.
It features swipe, mouse and keyboard navigation, transition effects, slideshow functionality, fullscreen support and on-demand content loading and can be extended to display additional content types.

Setup

Lightbox setup

Copy the css, img and js directories to your website.

Include the Gallery stylesheet in the head section of your webpage:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/blueimp-gallery.min.css">

Add the following HTML snippet with the Gallery widget to the body of your webpage:

<!-- The Gallery as lightbox dialog, should be a child element of the document body -->
<div id="blueimp-gallery" class="blueimp-gallery">
    <div class="slides"></div>
    <h3 class="title"></h3>
    <a class="prev">‹</a>
    <a class="next">›</a>
    <a class="close">×</a>
    <a class="play-pause"></a>
    <ol class="indicator"></ol>
</div>

Include the Gallery script at the bottom of the body of your webpage:

<script src="js/blueimp-gallery.min.js"></script>

Create a list of links to image files, optionally with enclosed thumbnails and add them to the body of your webpage, before including the Gallery script:

<div id="links">
    <a href="images/banana.jpg" title="Banana">
        <img src="images/thumbnails/banana.jpg" alt="Banana">
    </a>
    <a href="images/apple.jpg" title="Apple">
        <img src="images/thumbnails/apple.jpg" alt="Apple">
    </a>
    <a href="images/orange.jpg" title="Orange">
        <img src="images/thumbnails/orange.jpg" alt="Orange">
    </a>
</div>

Add the following JavaScript code after including the Gallery script, to display the images in the Gallery lightbox on click of the links:

<script>
document.getElementById('links').onclick = function (event) {
    event = event || window.event;
    var target = event.target || event.srcElement,
        link = target.src ? target.parentNode : target,
        options = {index: link, event: event},
        links = this.getElementsByTagName('a');
    blueimp.Gallery(links, options);
};
</script>

Controls

To initialize the Gallery with visible controls, add the CSS class blueimp-gallery-controls to the Gallery widget:

<div id="blueimp-gallery" class="blueimp-gallery blueimp-gallery-controls">
    <div class="slides"></div>
    <h3 class="title"></h3>
    <a class="prev">‹</a>
    <a class="next">›</a>
    <a class="close">×</a>
    <a class="play-pause"></a>
    <ol class="indicator"></ol>
</div>

Carousel setup

To display the images in an inline carousel instead of a lightbox, follow the lightbox setup and add the CSS class blueimp-gallery-carousel to the Gallery widget and remove the child element with the close class, or add a new Gallery widget with a different id to your webpage:

<!-- The Gallery as inline carousel, can be positioned anywhere on the page -->
<div id="blueimp-gallery-carousel" class="blueimp-gallery blueimp-gallery-carousel">
    <div class="slides"></div>
    <h3 class="title"></h3>
    <a class="prev">‹</a>
    <a class="next">›</a>
    <a class="play-pause"></a>
    <ol class="indicator"></ol>
</div>

Add the following JavaScript code after including the Gallery script to initialize the carousel:

<script>
blueimp.Gallery(
    document.getElementById('links').getElementsByTagName('a'),
    {
        container: '#blueimp-gallery-carousel',
        carousel: true
    }
);
</script>

Keyboard shortcuts

The Gallery can be controlled with the following keyboard shortcuts:

• Return: Toggle controls visibility.
• Esc: Close the Gallery lightbox.
• Space: Toggle the slideshow (play/pause).
• Left: Move to the previous slide.
• Right: Move to the next slide.

Please note that setting the carousel option to true disables the keyboard shortcuts by default.

    // Callback function executed when the Gallery has been closed
    // and the closing transition has been completed.
    // Is called with the gallery instance as "this" object:
    onclosed: undefined
};

Event callbacks

Event callbacks can be set as function properties of the options object passed to the Gallery initialization function:

var gallery = blueimp.Gallery(
    linkList,
    {
        onopen: function () {
            // Callback function executed when the Gallery is initialized.
        },
        onopened: function () {
            // Callback function executed when the Gallery has been initialized
            // and the initialization transition has been completed.
        },
        onslide: function (index, slide) {
            // Callback function executed on slide change.
        },
        onslideend: function (index, slide) {
            // Callback function executed after the slide change transition.
        },
        onslidecomplete: function (index, slide) {
            // Callback function executed on slide content load.
        },
        onclose: function () {
            // Callback function executed when the Gallery is about to be closed.
        },
        onclosed: function () {
            // Callback function executed when the Gallery has been closed
            // and the closing transition has been completed.
        }
    }
);

Carousel options

If the carousel option is true, the following options are set to different default values:

var carouselOptions = {
    hidePageScrollbars: false,
    toggleControlsOnReturn: false,
    toggleSlideshowOnSpace: false,
    enableKeyboardNavigation: false,
    closeOnEscape: false,
    closeOnSlideClick: false,
    closeOnSwipeUpOrDown: false,
    disableScroll: false,
    startSlideshow: true
};

The options object passed to the Gallery function extends the default options and also those options set via carousel mode.

Indicator options

The following are the additional default options set for the slide position indicator:

var indicatorOptions = {
    // The tag name, Id, element or querySelector of the indicator container:
    indicatorContainer: 'ol',
    // The class for the active indicator:
    activeIndicatorClass: 'active',
    // The list object property (or data attribute) with the thumbnail URL,
    // used as alternative to a thumbnail child element:
    thumbnailProperty: 'thumbnail',
    // Defines if the gallery indicators should display a thumbnail:
    thumbnailIndicators: true
};

Fullscreen options

The following are the additional default options set for the fullscreen mode:

var fullscreenOptions = {
    // Defines if the gallery should open in fullscreen mode:
    fullScreen: false
};

Video options

Video factory options

The following are the additional default options set for the video factory:

var videoFactoryOptions = {
    // The class for video content elements:
    videoContentClass: 'video-content',
    // The class for video when it is loading:
    videoLoadingClass: 'video-loading',
    // The class for video when it is playing:
    videoPlayingClass: 'video-playing',
    // The list object property (or data attribute) for the video poster URL:
    videoPosterProperty: 'poster',
    // The list object property (or data attribute) for the video sources array:
    videoSourcesProperty: 'sources'
};

YouTube options

Options for YouTube videos:

var youTubeOptions = {
    // The list object property (or data attribute) with the YouTube video id:
    youTubeVideoIdProperty: 'youtube',
    // Optional object with parameters passed to the YouTube video player:
    // https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters
    youTubePlayerVars: undefined,
    // Require a click on the native YouTube player for the initial playback:
    youTubeClickToPlay: true
};

Vimeo options

Options for Vimeo videos:

var vimeoOptions = {
    // The list object property (or data attribute) with the Vimeo video id:
    vimeoVideoIdProperty: 'vimeo',
    // The URL for the Vimeo video player, can be extended with custom parameters:
    // https://developer.vimeo.com/player/embedding
    vimeoPlayerUrl: '//player.vimeo.com/video/VIDEO_ID?api=1&player_id=PLAYER_ID',
    // The prefix for the Vimeo video player ID:
    vimeoPlayerIdPrefix: 'vimeo-player-',
    // Require a click on the native Vimeo player for the initial playback:
    vimeoClickToPlay: true
};

Container and element options

The widget container option can be set as id string (with "#" as prefix) or element node, so the following are equivalent:

var options = {
    container: '#blueimp-gallery'
};

var options = {
    container: document.getElementById('blueimp-gallery')
};

The slidesContainer, titleElement and indicatorContainer options can also be defined using a tag name, which selects the first tag of this kind found inside of the widget container:

var options = {
    slidesContainer: 'div',
    titleElement: 'h3',
    indicatorContainer: 'ol'
};

It is also possible to define the container and element options with a more complex querySelector, which is supported by IE8+ and all modern web browsers.

If the helper script is replaced with jQuery, the container and element options can be any valid jQuery selector.

Property options

The options ending with "Property" define how the properties of each link element are accessed.
For example, the urlProperty is by default set to href. This allows to define link elements with href or data-href attributes:

<div id="links">
    <a href="images/banana.jpg">Banana</a>
    <a data-href="images/apple.jpg">Apple</a>
</div>

If the links are passed as JavaScript array, it is also possible to define nested property names, by using the native JavaScript accessor syntax for the property string:

blueimp.Gallery(
    [
        {
            data: {urls: ['https://example.org/images/banana.jpg']}
        },
        {
            data: {urls: ['https://example.org/images/apple.jpg']}
        }
    ],
    {
        urlProperty: 'data.urls[0]'
    }
);

API

Initialization

The blueimp Gallery can be initialized by simply calling it as a function with an array of links as first argument and an optional options object as second argument:

var gallery = blueimp.Gallery(links, options);

The links array can be a list of URL strings or a list of objects with URL properties:

var gallery = blueimp.Gallery([
    'https://example.org/images/banana.jpg',
    'https://example.org/images/apple.jpg',
    'https://example.org/images/orange.jpg'
]);

var gallery = blueimp.Gallery([
    {
        title: 'Banana',
        href: 'https://example.org/images/banana.jpg',
        type: 'image/jpeg',
        thumbnail: 'https://example.org/thumbnails/banana.jpg'
    },
    {
        title: 'Apple',
        href: 'https://example.org/images/apple.jpg',
        type: 'image/jpeg',
        thumbnail: 'https://example.org/thumbnails/apple.jpg'
    }
]);

The URL property name defined by each list object can be configured via the urlProperty option. By default, it is set to href, which allows to pass a list of HTML link elements as first argument.

For images, the thumbnail property defines the URL of the image thumbnail, which is used for the indicator navigation displayed at the bottom of the Gallery, if the controls are visible.

The object returned by executing the Gallery function (the gallery variable in the example code above) is a new instance of the Gallery and allows to access the public API methods provided by the Gallery.
The Gallery initialization function returns false if the given list was empty, the Gallery widget is missing, or the browser doesn't pass the functionality test.

API methods

The Gallery object returned by executing the Gallery function provides the following public API methods:

// Return the current slide index position:
var pos = gallery.getIndex();

// Return the total number of slides:
var count = gallery.getNumber();

// Move to the previous slide:
gallery.prev();

// Move to the next slide:
gallery.next();

// Move to the given slide index with the (optional) given duraction speed in milliseconds:
gallery.slide(index, duration);

// Start an automatic slideshow with the given interval in milliseconds (optional):
gallery.play(interval);

// Stop the automatic slideshow:
gallery.pause();

// Add additional slides after Gallery initialization:
gallery.add(list);

// Close and deinitialize the Gallery:
gallery.close();

Videos

HTML5 video player

The Gallery can be initialized with a list of videos instead of images, or a combination of both:

blueimp.Gallery([
    {
        title: 'Fruits',
        href: 'https://example.org/videos/fruits.mp4',
        type: 'video/mp4',
        poster: 'https://example.org/images/fruits.jpg'
    },
    {
        title: 'Banana',
        href: 'https://example.org/images/banana.jpg',
        type: 'image/jpeg',
        thumbnail: 'https://example.org/thumbnails/banana.jpg'
    }
]);

The Gallery uses the type property to determine the content type of the object to display.
If the type property is empty or doesn't exist, the default type image is assumed.
Objects with a video type will be displayed in a HTML5 video element if the browser supports the video content type.

For videos, the poster property defines the URL of the poster image to display, before the video is started.

Multiple video sources

To provide multiple video formats, the sources property of a list object can be set to an array of objects with href and type properties for each video source. The first video format in the list that the browser can play will be displayed:

blueimp.Gallery([
    {
        title: 'Fruits',
        type: 'video/*',
        poster: 'https://example.org/images/fruits.jpg',
        sources: [
            {
                href: 'https://example.org/videos/fruits.mp4',
                type: 'video/mp4'
            },
            {
                href: 'https://example.org/videos/fruits.ogg',
                type: 'video/ogg'
            }
        ]
    }
]);

It is also possible to define the video sources as data-attribute on a link element in JSON array format:

<div id="links">
    <a
        href="https://example.org/videos/fruits.mp4"
        title="Fruits"
        type="video/mp4"
        data-poster="https://example.org/images/fruits.jpg"
        data-sources='[{"href": "https://example.org/videos/fruits.mp4", "type": "video/mp4"}, {"href": "https://example.org/videos/fruits.ogg", "type": "video/ogg"}]'
    >Fruits</a>
</div>

YouTube

The Gallery can display YouTube videos for Gallery items with a type of text/html and a youtube property (configurable via YouTube options) with the YouTube video-ID:

blueimp.Gallery([
    {
        title: 'A YouYube video',
        href: 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID',
        type: 'text/html',
        youtube: 'VIDEO_ID',
        poster: 'https://img.youtube.com/vi/VIDEO_ID/maxresdefault.jpg'
    },
    {
        title: 'Banana',
        href: 'https://example.org/images/banana.jpg',
        type: 'image/jpeg',
        thumbnail: 'https://example.org/thumbnails/banana.jpg'
    }
]);

If the href and poster properties are undefined, they are set automatically based on the video ID.

Please note that the Gallery YouTube integration requires a browser with postMessage support, which excludes IE7.

Vimeo

The Gallery can display Vimeo videos for Gallery items with a type of text/html and a vimeo property (configurable via Vimeo options) with the Vimeo video-ID:

blueimp.Gallery([
    {
        title: 'A Vimeo video',
        href: 'https://vimeo.com/VIDEO_ID',
        type: 'text/html',
        vimeo: 'VIDEO_ID',
        poster: 'https://secure-b.vimeocdn.com/ts/POSTER_ID.jpg'
    },
    {
        title: 'Banana',
        href: 'https://example.org/images/banana.jpg',
        type: 'image/jpeg',
        thumbnail: 'https://example.org/thumbnails/banana.jpg'
    }
]);

If the href property is undefined, it is set automatically based on the video ID.

Please note that the Gallery Vimeo integration requires a browser with postMessage support, which excludes IE7.

Additional Gallery elements

It is possible to add additional elements to the Gallery widget, e.g. a description label.

First, add the desired HTML element to the Gallery widget:

<div id="blueimp-gallery" class="blueimp-gallery">
    <div class="slides"></div>
    <h3 class="title"></h3>
    <!-- The placeholder for the description label: -->
    <p class="description"></p>
    <a class="prev">‹</a>
    <a class="next">›</a>
    <a class="close">×</a>
    <a class="play-pause"></a>
    <ol class="indicator"></ol>
</div>

Next, add the desired element styles to your CSS file:

.blueimp-gallery > .description {
  position: absolute;
  top: 30px;
  left: 15px;
  color: #fff;
  display: none;
}
.blueimp-gallery-controls > .description {
  display: block;
}

Then, add the additional element information to each of your links:

<div id="links">
    <a href="images/banana.jpg" title="Banana" data-description="This is a banana.">Banana</a>
    <a href="images/apple.jpg" title="Apple" data-description="This is an apple.">Apple</a>
</div>

Finally, initialize the Gallery with an onslide callback option, to set the element content based on the information from the current link:

blueimp.Gallery(
    document.getElementById('links'),
    {
        onslide: function (index, slide) {
            var text = this.list[index].getAttribute('data-description'),
                node = this.container.find('.description');
            node.empty();
            if (text) {
                node[0].appendChild(document.createTextNode(text));
            }
        }
    }
);

Additional content types

By extending the Gallery prototype with new factory methods, additional content types can be displayed. By default, blueimp Gallery provides the imageFactory and videoFactory methods for image and video content types respectively.

The Gallery uses the type property of each content object to determine which factory method to use. The type defines the Internet media type of the content object and is composed of two or more parts: A type, a subtype, and zero or more optional parameters, e.g. text/html; charset=UTF-8 for an HTML document with UTF-8 encoding.
The main type (the string in front of the slash, text in the example above) is concatenated with the string Factory to create the factory method name, e.g. textFactory.

Example HTML text factory implementation

Please note that the textFactory script has to be included after the core Gallery script, but before including the YouTube and Vimeo integration plugins, which extend the textFactory implementation to handle YouTube and Vimeo video links.

Please also note that although blueimp Gallery doesn't require jQuery, the following example uses it for convenience.

Extend the Gallery prototype with the textFactory method:

blueimp.Gallery.prototype.textFactory = function (obj, callback) {
    var $element = $('<div>')
            .addClass('text-content')
            .attr('title', obj.title);
    $.get(obj.href)
        .done(function (result) {
            $element.html(result);
            callback({
                type: 'load',
                target: $element[0]
            });
        })
        .fail(function () {
            callback({
                type: 'error',
                target: $element[0]
            });
        });
    return $element[0];
};

Next, add the text-content class to the Gallery CSS:

.blueimp-gallery > .slides > .slide > .text-content {
    overflow: auto;
    margin: 60px auto;
    padding: 0 60px;
    max-width: 920px;
    text-align: left;
}

With the previous changes in place, the Gallery can now handle HTML content types:

blueimp.Gallery([
    {
        title: 'Noodle soup',
        href: 'https://example.org/text/noodle-soup.html',
        type: 'text/html'
    },
    {
        title: 'Tomato salad',
        href: 'https://example.org/text/tomato-salad.html',
        type: 'text/html'
    }
]);

jQuery plugin

jQuery plugin setup

The blueimp Gallery jQuery plugin registers a global click handler to open links with data-gallery attribute in the Gallery lightbox.

To use it, follow the lightbox setup guide, but replace the minified Gallery script with the jQuery plugin version and include it after including jQuery:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.blueimp-gallery.min.js"></script>

Next, add the attribute data-gallery to your Gallery links:

<div id="links">
    <a href="images/banana.jpg" title="Banana" data-gallery>
        <img src="images/thumbnails/banana.jpg" alt="Banana">
    </a>
    <a href="images/apple.jpg" title="Apple" data-gallery>
        <img src="images/thumbnails/apple.jpg" alt="Apple">
    </a>
    <a href="images/orange.jpg" title="Orange" data-gallery>
        <img src="images/thumbnails/orange.jpg" alt="Orange">
    </a>
</div>

The onclick handler from the lightbox setup guide is not required and can be removed.

HTML5 data-attributes

Options for the Gallery lightbox opened via the jQuery plugin can be defined as HTML5 data-attributes on the Gallery widget container.

The jQuery plugin also introduces the additional filter option, which is applied to the Gallery links via jQuery's filter method and allows to remove duplicates from the list:

<div id="blueimp-gallery" class="blueimp-gallery" data-start-slideshow="true" data-filter=":even">
    <div class="slides"></div>
    <h3 class="title"></h3>
    <a class="prev">‹</a>
    <a class="next">›</a>
    <a class="close">×</a>
    <a class="play-pause"></a>
    <ol class="indicator"></ol>
</div>

This will initialize the Gallery with the option startSlideshow set to true.
It will also filter the Gallery links so that only links with an even index number will be included.

Container ids and link grouping

If the data-gallery attribute value is a valid id string (e.g. "#blueimp-gallery"), it is used as container option.
Setting data-gallery to a non-empty string also allows to group links into different sets of Gallery images:

<div id="fruits">
    <a href="images/banana.jpg" title="Banana" data-gallery="#blueimp-gallery-fruits">
        <img src="images/thumbnails/banana.jpg" alt="Banana">
    </a>
    <a href="images/apple.jpg" title="Apple" data-gallery="#blueimp-gallery-fruits">
        <img src="images/thumbnails/apple.jpg" alt="Apple">
    </a>
</div>
<div id="vegetables">
    <a href="images/tomato.jpg" title="Tomato" data-gallery="#blueimp-gallery-vegetables">
        <img src="images/thumbnails/tomato.jpg" alt="Tomato">
    </a>
    <a href="images/onion.jpg" title="Onion" data-gallery="#blueimp-gallery-vegetables">
        <img src="images/thumbnails/onion.jpg" alt="Onion">
    </a>
</div>

This will open the links with the data-gallery attribute #blueimp-gallery-fruits in the Gallery widget with the id blueimp-gallery-fruits, and the links with the data-gallery attribute #blueimp-gallery-vegetables in the Gallery widget with the id blueimp-gallery-vegetables.

Gallery object

The gallery object is stored via jQuery data storage on the Gallery widget when the Gallery is opened and can be retrieved the following way:

var gallery = $('#blueimp-gallery').data('gallery');

This gallery object provides all methods outlined in the API methods section.

jQuery events

The jQuery plugin triggers Gallery events on the widget container, with event names equivalent to the gallery event callbacks:

$('#blueimp-gallery')
    .on('open', function (event) {
        // Gallery open event handler
    })
    .on('opened', function (event) {
        // Gallery opened event handler
    })
    .on('slide', function (event, index, slide) {
        // Gallery slide event handler
    })
    .on('slideend', function (event, index, slide) {
        // Gallery slideend event handler
    })
    .on('slidecomplete', function (event, index, slide) {
        // Gallery slidecomplete event handler
    })
    .on('close', function (event) {
        // Gallery close event handler
    })
    .on('closed', function (event) {
        // Gallery closed event handler
    });

Requirements

blueimp Gallery doesn't require any other libraries and can be used standalone without any dependencies.

You can also use the individual source files instead of the standalone minified version:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/blueimp-gallery.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/blueimp-gallery-indicator.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/blueimp-gallery-video.css">
<!-- ... -->
<script src="js/blueimp-helper.js"></script>
<script src="js/blueimp-gallery.js"></script>
<script src="js/blueimp-gallery-fullscreen.js"></script>
<script src="js/blueimp-gallery-indicator.js"></script>
<script src="js/blueimp-gallery-video.js"></script>
<script src="js/blueimp-gallery-youtube.js"></script>
<script src="js/blueimp-gallery-vimeo.js"></script>

The helper script can be replaced by jQuery v. 1.7+.
The fullscreen, indicator, video, youtube and vimeo source files are optional if their functionality is not required.

The jQuery plugin requires jQuery v. 1.7+ and the basic Gallery script, while the fullscreen, indicator, video, youtube and vimeo source files are also optional:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/blueimp-gallery.js"></script>
<script src="js/blueimp-gallery-fullscreen.js"></script>
<script src="js/blueimp-gallery-indicator.js"></script>
<script src="js/blueimp-gallery-video.js"></script>
<script src="js/blueimp-gallery-youtube.js"></script>
<script src="js/blueimp-gallery-vimeo.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.blueimp-gallery.js"></script>

Please note that the jQuery plugin is an optional extension and not required for the Gallery functionality.
