npm install yet-another-react-lightbox
or
yarn add yet-another-react-lightbox
import * as React from "react";
import Lightbox from "yet-another-react-lightbox";
import "yet-another-react-lightbox/styles.css";
export default function App() {
const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(false);
return (
<>
<button type="button" onClick={() => setOpen(true)}>
Open Lightbox
</button>
<Lightbox
open={open}
close={() => setOpen(false)}
slides={[
{ src: "/image1.jpg" },
{ src: "/image2.jpg" },
{ src: "/image3.jpg" },
]}
/>
</>
);
}
Unlike many other lightbox libraries, Yet Another React Lightbox doesn't have a concept of "thumbnail" or "original"
(or "full size") images. We use responsive images instead and recommend you provide multiple files of different
resolutions for each image. Yet Another React Lightbox automatically populates srcset
/ sizes
attributes and lets
the browser decide which image is more appropriate for its viewport size.
import * as React from "react";
import Lightbox from "yet-another-react-lightbox";
import "yet-another-react-lightbox/styles.css";
export default function App() {
const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(false);
return (
<>
<button type="button" onClick={() => setOpen(true)}>
Open Lightbox
</button>
<Lightbox
open={open}
close={() => setOpen(false)}
slides={[
{
src: "/image1x3840.jpg",
alt: "image 1",
width: 3840,
height: 2560,
srcSet: [
{ src: "/image1x320.jpg", width: 320, height: 213 },
{ src: "/image1x640.jpg", width: 640, height: 427 },
{ src: "/image1x1200.jpg", width: 1200, height: 800 },
{ src: "/image1x2048.jpg", width: 2048, height: 1365 },
{ src: "/image1x3840.jpg", width: 3840, height: 2560 },
]
},
// ...
]}
/>
</>
);
}
You can also integrate 3rd-party image components (e.g., Next.js Image or Gatsby Image) via a custom render function. See examples on the documentation website.
Yet Another React Lightbox allows you to add optional features based on your requirements via plugins.
