Full Screen Images

To display full screen images, the SlideshowLightbox component is used, but its fullScreen prop is set to true.

Demo

Import

Firstly, import the components required as well as the CSS file for this library:

import 'lightbox.js-react/dist/index.css'
import {SlideshowLightbox} from 'lightbox.js-react'

Usage

Next, wrap the images you wish to include in the slideshow gallery within a SlideshowLightbox component as shown below:

<SlideshowLightbox fullScreen={true} className='container grid grid-cols-3 gap-2 mx-auto'>
  <img className='w-full rounded' src='https://images.pexels.com/photos/580151/pexels-photo-580151.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=1260&h=750&dpr=2' />
  <img className='w-full rounded' src='https://images.pexels.com/photos/13996896/pexels-photo-13996896.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=1260&h=750&dpr=2' />  
  <img className='w-full rounded' src='https://images.pexels.com/photos/13208323/pexels-photo-13208323.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=1260&h=750&dpr=2' />

</SlideshowLightbox> 

This will display an image gallery as shown below:

Full example

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import {SlideshowLightbox} from 'lightbox.js-react'
import 'lightbox.js-react/dist/index.css'

class Demo extends Component {
    render() {
        return <SlideshowLightbox fullScreen={true} className='container grid grid-cols-3 gap-2 mx-auto' showThumbnails={true}>
          <img className='w-full rounded' src='https://images.pexels.com/photos/580151/pexels-photo-580151.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=1260&h=750&dpr=2' />
          <img className='w-full rounded' src='https://images.pexels.com/photos/13996896/pexels-photo-13996896.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=1260&h=750&dpr=2' />  
          <img className='w-full rounded' src='https://images.pexels.com/photos/13208323/pexels-photo-13208323.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=1260&h=750&dpr=2' />
   
        </SlideshowLightbox> 
    }
}

Full example using functional components

Here's an example using functional components and Tailwind CSS to style the images, so that they appear in a grid format. However external CSS can be used for this, or styling with the style object on the image gallery container.

import React from 'react'
import {SlideshowLightbox} from 'lightbox.js-react'
import 'lightbox.js-react/dist/index.css'
          
function Demo() {
return (
        <SlideshowLightbox fullScreen={true} className='container grid grid-cols-3 gap-2 mx-auto' showThumbnails={true}>
          <img className='w-full rounded' src='https://images.pexels.com/photos/580151/pexels-photo-580151.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=1260&h=750&dpr=2' />
          <img className='w-full rounded' src='https://images.pexels.com/photos/13996896/pexels-photo-13996896.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=1260&h=750&dpr=2' />  
          <img className='w-full rounded' src='https://images.pexels.com/photos/13208323/pexels-photo-13208323.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=1260&h=750&dpr=2' />
   
        </SlideshowLightbox> 
      )
}

This will display the following image gallery, along with a lightbox that will appear after one of the images are clicked:

Check out the Image component to display a single image.

Customization

Theme

If you'd like to change the theme of the lightbox, this can be done by passing a theme name to the theme prop, with the options including: "lightbox", "night", "day"

<SlideshowLightbox theme="lightbox">
...
</SlideshowLightbox>

Full Screen Images

If you'd like the images to take up the screen's full available width and height, simply set thefullScreen prop to true. The default is false.

<SlideshowLightbox fullScreen={true}>
...
</SlideshowLightbox>
Whether to display images so that they take up tne screen's full width and height

Background Color

If you'd like to customize the background color of the lightbox, this can be done by passing a color to the color prop, as a RGB, RGBA, HEX or CSS color name value:

<SlideshowLightbox backgroundColor="white">
...
</SlideshowLightbox>

Icon Color

The icon colors can also be specified through the `iconColor` prop, and the color can be a RGB, RGBA, HEX or CSS color name value.

<SlideshowLightbox iconColor="silver">
...
</SlideshowLightbox>

Thumbnail border

Each thumbnail contains a border which can be customized or removed entirely (by setting the border color to transparent). The border can be customized through specifying a color value for the `thumbnailBorder` prop, and the color can be a RGB, RGBA, HEX or CSS color name value.

<SlideshowLightbox thumbnailBorder="silver">
...
</SlideshowLightbox>

Show Thumbnails

If you would like to remove thumbnails entirely from the lightbox, you can do so by setting the `showThumbnails` prop to `false`.

<SlideshowLightbox showThumbnails="false">
...
</SlideshowLightbox>

Image Animation

The animation type can be specified through the `imgAnimation` prop, and the two values include:

  • imgMotion
  • fade
<SlideshowLightbox imgAnimation="fade">
...
</SlideshowLightbox>

Slideshow Interval

When the slideshow is playing, the amount of time between slideshow transitions can be specified through the `slideshowInterval` prop in milliseconds.

<SlideshowLightbox slideshowInterval={1600}>
...
</SlideshowLightbox>

Animate Thumbnails

By default, the thumbnails are animated in and out of the DOM using a fade-in effect. If you would prefer to switch this animation off, this can be done so by setting the `animateThumbnails` prop to `false`.

<SlideshowLightbox animateThumbnails={false}>
...
</SlideshowLightbox>
