Minimalist image lightbox

Demo

Check out the demo page.

Browser support

As long the CSS3 transitions are supported by your browser, this should work fine. :rocket:

Examples

Simple usage

<img id="myImage" src="myImage.png" alt="Some title">
<script>
    new MiniLightbox("#myImage");
</script>

Advanced usage

If you need more stuff (e.g. animations etc), you need to create custom handlers (customClose and customOpen handlers). Works like a charm with animate.css library. :smile:

function waitForAnimationEnd(element, callback) {
    var animationEnd = "animationend";
    var handleAnimationEnd = function(event) {
      // remove listner
      event.target.removeEventListener(animationEnd, handleAnimationEnd);
      // fire callback
      return callback(event);
    };
    element.addEventListener(animationEnd, handleAnimationEnd);
}

MiniLightbox.customClose = function(self) {
    self.img.classList.add("animated", "fadeOutDown");
    waitForAnimationEnd(self.img, function() {
      self.box.classList.add("animated", "fadeOut");
    });
    waitForAnimationEnd(self.box, function() {
      self.box.classList.remove("animated", "fadeOut", "fadeIn");
      self.img.classList.remove("animated", "fadeOutDown");
      self.box.style.display = "none";
    });
    return false;
};

MiniLightbox.customOpen = function(self) {
    if (self.el.parentElement.tagName === "A") {
      return false;
    }
    self.box.classList.add("animated", "fadeIn");
    self.img.classList.add("animated", "fadeInUp");
};

Using data-image-opened attribute

If data-image-opened attribute is provided in img element, it will be used for the path of the image when the popup is opened.

<img id="myImage" data-image-opened="./big.png" src="small.png" alt="Some title">

Delegation

If images are added dynamically, you need to use delegation:

new MiniLightbox({
    selector: ".content img"
    // the common container where the images are appended
  , delegation: "html"
});

:cloud: Installation

Check out the dist directory to download the needed files and include them on your page.

# Using npm
npm install --save mini-lightbox

# Using yarn
yarn add mini-lightbox

:sparkling_heart: Support my projects

I open-source almost everything I can, and I try to reply to everyone needing help using these projects. Obviously, this takes time. You can integrate and use these projects in your applications for free! You can even change the source code and redistribute (even resell it).

However, if you get some profit from this or just want to encourage me to continue creating stuff, there are few ways you can do it:

• Starring and sharing the projects you like :rocket:

• —I love books! I will remember you after years if you buy me one. :grin: :book:

• —You can make one-time donations via PayPal. I'll probably buy a coffee tea. :tea:

• —Set up a recurring monthly donation and you will get interesting news about what I'm doing (things that I don't share with everyone).

• Bitcoin—You can send me bitcoins at this address (or scanning the code below): 1P9BRsmazNQcuyTxEqveUsnf5CERdq35V6

  

Thanks! :heart:
