How to Add A React Photo Gallery to Your Project
If you're hoping to build a React photo gallery, then I'd definitely recommend trying Lightbox.js out! It only takes a few minutes to get set-up and you'll have a gallery with in-built, extended functionality such as image zooming, slideshow playback and so much more. If you're using a server-side rendering framework such as Next.js, then Lightbox.js also supports Next.js and Gatsby! Since these frameworks are used for eCommerce and portfolio sites, then using a Next.js lightbox or image carousel would be a useful addition, as it allows users to zoom into photos and view the details.
