npm install 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.
