Demo -
Step 1 - Install lightobox
Open your terminal and run below command -
npm install --save ngx-lightbox
Step 2 - Update your angular.json
{ "styles": ["./node_modules/ngx-lightbox/lightbox.css", ...],}
Step 3 - Add Lightbox Module to your app.module.ts
import { LightboxModule } from 'ngx-lightbox'; @NgModule({ imports: [LightboxModule]})
You can do the next steps in your choice of components but I am assuming I need to make lightbox in app.component.html
Step 4 - Add markup to html of your component
app.component.html
<div *ngFor="let image of _albums; let i=index"> <img [src]="image.thumb" (click)="open(i)" /></div>
Step 5 - Add lightbox code to your component's ts file,
app.component.ts
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();
}}
With all that being said, I highly recommend you keep learning!
