Usage

To use Lightbox in your project, import it as follows:

import Lightbox from 'lightbox-kit'
import 'lightbox-kit/styles';

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Lightbox
        title="string"
        titleMaxLength={40}
        titleClassName="string"
        src="string"
        alt="string"
        isOverlayClickable={true}
        overlayClassName="string"
        opacity={60}
        closeIconClassname="string"
        theme="dark"
        allowDrag={false}
        imageClassName="string"
      >
        // ...
      </Lightbox>
    </div>
  )
}

Title

The title displayed in the lightbox. This can be truncated if it exceeds the specified length (see titleMaxLength).

Example:

<Lightbox title="string" titleMaxLength={40} titleClassName="string"
  // ...
</Lightbox>

Source

The URL or path of the image to be displayed in the lightbox. This is the main image shown when the lightbox is opened.

Example:

<Lightbox src="url/path" alt="description"> // ... </Lightbox>

Theme

Defines the visual theme of the lightbox. It adjusts the background color and text color to either light or dark theme. "light" uses lighter colors, and "dark" uses darker colors.

Exemple:

<Lightbox theme="dark">
  // ...
</Lightbox>

Image

The main image shown. Custom class name for the image element itself, allowing additional styling like borders, shadows, or other visual effects. allowDrag determines whether the image inside the lightbox can be dragged.

<Lightbox
  allowDrag={true} 
  imageClassName="string"
>
  // ...
</Lightbox>

Overlay

The overlay is the semi-transparent background layer that appears behind the lightbox content, dimming the rest of the screen. It allows users to focus on the lightbox while optionally providing a clickable area to close it.

Exemple:

<Lightbox
  isOverlayClickable={true}
  overlayClassName="string"
  opacity={60}
>
  // ...
</Lightbox>

Close

A custom class name for the close button's icon (X icon) that can be used to adjust its appearance, such as its size, color, or position.

Exemple:

<Lightbox closeIconClassName="string">
  // ...
</Lightbox>
