npm i @rat.md/bs-lightbox
bs-lightbox does not provide an own stylesheet, instead it just relies on the Bootstrap-native
component and utility classes. Since bs-lightbox does not provide any bundled JS version, you've
to make sure that Bootstrap's JavaScript library is loaded BEFORE the rat.lightbox file.
<html>
<head>
<!-- Include Bootstrap CSS -->
<link href="path/to/your/css/bootstrap.min.css" />
</head>
<body>
<!-- Simple Lightbox -->
<img src="path/to/your/image.jpg" data-bs-handle="lightbox" />
<!-- Include Bootstrap JS -->
<script src="path/to/your/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>
<!-- Include @rat.md/bs-lightbox JS -->
<script src="path/to/your/js/rat.lightbox.min.js"></script>
<!-- Invoke Lightbox on all valid components -->
<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
rat.Lightbox.invoke();
});
</script>
</body>
</html>bs-lightbox does also provide an ES-Module version, which can be found in the dist/esm folder.
Depending on how you're including Bootstrap, you probably need to append the Carousel and Modal
prototype objects / classes manually, as shown below.
import { Carousel, Modal } from 'bootstrap'; // Optional, depending on your usage
import { Lightbox } from '../esm/rat.lightbox.min.js';
// The following lines are only necessary, if the 'bootstrap' global is not added
Lightbox.CAROUSEL = Carousel;
Lightbox.MODAL = Modal;
// Go on as usual, make sure the following line is execute when the DOM is ready.
Lightbox.invoke(
null, // Custom or Default selector
{} // Custom Configurations
