</div>

2. Component method

import { Lightbox } from 'ngx-lightbox';

export class AppComponent {
  private _album: Array = [];
  constructor(private _lightbox: Lightbox) {
    for (let i = 1; i <= 4; i++) {
      const src = 'demo/img/image' + i + '.jpg';
      const caption = 'Image ' + i + ' caption here';
      const thumb = 'demo/img/image' + i + '-thumb.jpg';
      const album = {
         src: src,
         caption: caption,
         thumb: thumb
      };

      this._albums.push(album);
    }
  }

  open(index: number): void {
    // open lightbox
    this._lightbox.open(this._albums, index);
  }

  close(): void {
    // close lightbox programmatically
    this._lightbox.close();
  }
}

Each object of album array inside your component may contains 3 properties :

Properties | Requirement | Description ----------|-------------|------------ src | Required | The source image to your thumbnail that you want to with use lightbox when user click on thumbnail image caption | Optional | Your caption corresponding with your image thumb | Optional | Source of your thumbnail. It is being used inside your component markup so this properties depends on your naming.

You can listen to 3 events, which are either CHANGE_PAGE, CLOSE or OPEN.

import { LightboxEvent, LIGHTBOX_EVENT } from 'ngx-lightbox';
import { Subscription } from 'rxjs';

export class AppComponent {
  private _subscription: Subscription;
  constructor(private _lightboxEvent: LightboxEvent) {}
  open(index: number): void {
    // register your subscription and callback whe open lightbox is fired
    this._subscription = this._lightboxEvent.lightboxEvent$
      .subscribe(event => this._onReceivedEvent(event));
  }

  private _onReceivedEvent(event: any): void {
    // remember to unsubscribe the event when lightbox is closed
    if (event.id === LIGHTBOX_EVENT.CLOSE) {
      // event CLOSED is fired
      this._subscription.unsubscribe();
    }

    if (event.id === LIGHTBOX_EVENT.OPEN) {
      // event OPEN is fired
    }

    if (event.id === LIGHTBOX_EVENT.CHANGE_PAGE) {
      // event change page is fired
      console.log(event.data); // -> image index that lightbox is switched to
    }
  }
}

Lightbox options

Available options based on lightbox2 options

Properties | Default | Description -----------|---------|------------ fadeDuration | 0.7 seconds | duration starting when the src image is loaded to fully appear onto screen. resizeDuration | 0.5 seconds | duration starting when Lightbox container change its dimension from a default/previous image to the current image when the current image is loaded. fitImageInViewPort | true | Determine whether lightbox will use the natural image width/height or change the image width/height to fit the view of current window. Change this option to true to prevent problem when image too big compare to browser windows. positionFromTop | 20 px | The position of lightbox from the top of window browser showImageNumberLabel | false | Determine whether to show the image number to user. The default text shown is Image IMAGE_NUMBER of ALBUM_LENGTH alwaysShowNavOnTouchDevices | false | Determine whether to show left/right arrow to user on Touch devices. wrapAround | false | Determine whether to move to the start of the album when user reaches the end of album and vice versa. Set it to true to enable this feature. disableKeyboardNav | false | Determine whether to disable navigation using keyboard event. disableScrolling | false | If true, prevent the page from scrolling while Lightbox is open. This works by settings overflow hidden on the body. centerVertically | false | If true, images will be centered vertically to the screen.

1. Override default config

import { LightboxConfig } from 'ngx-lightbox';

export class AppComponent {
  constructor(private _lighboxConfig: LightboxConfig) {
    // override default config
    _lighboxConfig.fadeDuration = 1;
  }
}

2. Set config in a specific opening window

import { LightboxConfig, Lightbox } from 'ngx-lightbox';

export class AppComponent {
  constructor(private _lighboxConfig: LightboxConfig, private _lightbox: Lightbox) {}
