npm i vue-pure-lightbox --save
<!-- In <head> -->
<meta rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/vue-pure-lightbox/dist/VuePureLightbox.css">
<!-- In <body>, after Vue import -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue-pure-lightbox/dist/VuePureLightbox.umd.min.js"></script>
import VuePureLightbox from 'vue-pure-lightbox'
/* @vue/component */
export default {
components: {
// ...
VuePureLightbox,
},
}
If you are using an ES6 bundler, you will need to manually import the styles.
import styles from 'vue-pure-lightbox/dist/VuePureLightbox.css'
<style src="vue-pure-lightbox/dist/VuePureLightbox.css"></style>
<script>
new Vue({
components: {
'vue-pure-lightbox': window.VuePureLightbox,
}
}).$mount('#app')
</script>
<VuePureLightbox
thumbnail="/path/to/thumbnail.jpg"
:images="['/path/to/image1.jpg', '/path/to/image1.jpg']"
/>
Note: if you are not using a vue-loader (e.g. you are using a CDN), you have to use the kebab-case'ing for the component i.e.
<vue-pure-lightbox>instead of<VuePureLightbox>.
<VuePureLightbox
thumbnail="https://via.placeholder.com/350x150"
:images="[
{ link: 'https://placekitten.com/1080/910', alt: 'Cat 1' },
{ link: 'https://placekitten.com/1080/920', alt: 'Cat 2' },
]"

<div v-slot:loader>Loading…</div>
<div v-slot:content="{ url: { link, alt } }">
<img :src="link" :alt="alt">
</div>
</VuePureLightbox>

This package consists of just one .vue file. It is meant to be as small and simple as possible.
In return you get a <VuePureLightbox> Vue component that allows you to show images in a nice, responsive lightbox.
Supported keys:
CSS is being used in the component, but each class is prefixed with a lightbox keyword. You can overwrite them as you wish.
