Usage

The images prop now accepts a list of objects whose properties can be almost any valid React <img /> prop including srcset, loading (lazy loading) and aria-* attributes.

If you use typescript, the exact type can be imported from import { ImagesListType } from 'react-spring-lightbox';

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import Lightbox, { ImagesListType } from 'react-spring-lightbox';

const images: ImagesListType = [
    {
        src: 'https://timellenberger.com/static/blog-content/dark-mode/win10-dark-mode.jpg',
        loading: 'lazy',
        alt: 'Windows 10 Dark Mode Setting',
    },
    {
        src: 'https://timellenberger.com/static/blog-content/dark-mode/macos-dark-mode.png',
        loading: 'lazy',
        alt: 'macOS Mojave Dark Mode Setting',
    },
    {
        src: 'https://timellenberger.com/static/blog-content/dark-mode/android-9-dark-mode.jpg',
        loading: 'lazy',
        alt: 'Android 9.0 Dark Mode Setting',
    },
];

const CoolLightbox = () => {
    const [currentImageIndex, setCurrentIndex] = useState(0);

    const gotoPrevious = () =>
        currentImageIndex > 0 && setCurrentIndex(currentImageIndex - 1);

    const gotoNext = () =>
        currentImageIndex + 1 < images.length &&
        setCurrentIndex(currentImageIndex + 1);

    return (
        <Lightbox
            isOpen={true}
            onPrev={gotoPrevious}
            onNext={gotoNext}
            images={images}
            currentIndex={currentImageIndex}
            /* Add your own UI */
            // renderHeader={() => (<CustomHeader />)}
            // renderFooter={() => (<CustomFooter />)}
            // renderPrevButton={() => (<CustomLeftArrowButton />)}
            // renderNextButton={() => (<CustomRightArrowButton />)}
            // renderImageOverlay={() => (<ImageOverlayComponent >)}

            /* Add styling */
            // className="cool-class"
            // style={{ background: "grey" }}

            /* Handle closing */
            // onClose={handleClose}

            /* Use single or double click to zoom */
            // singleClickToZoom

            /* react-spring config for open/close animation */
            // pageTransitionConfig={{
            //   from: { transform: "scale(0.75)", opacity: 0 },
            //   enter: { transform: "scale(1)", opacity: 1 },
            //   leave: { transform: "scale(0.75)", opacity: 0 },
            //   config: { mass: 1, tension: 320, friction: 32 }
            // }}
        />
    );

Local Development

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/tim-soft/react-spring-lightbox.git react-spring-lightbox
cd react-spring-lightbox

Install the library's dependencies

npm install

Run the library in development mode, which rebuilds it on every change

npm start

In another terminal, install and run the example app. Its file: dependencies are symlinks to the library and to the library's own React, so both use one copy of React.

cd example
npm install
npm run dev

Changes to the library code should hot reload in the demo app

Releasing

Every pull request needs a changeset, a short note in .changeset/ that says what changed for people who use the library and whether that's a patch, minor or major change. The changeset check fails without one.

npm run ch

For a change that doesn't need a release, such as one to tests or CI, add an empty changeset instead.

npx changeset add --empty

Once changesets reach master, a Version Packages pull request collects them. It bumps the version and adds a dated entry to CHANGELOG.md. Merging it publishes the new version to npm, tags it, and creates its GitHub release.
