React Image Lightbox

A flexible lightbox component for displaying images in a React project.

DEMO

Features

• Keyboard shortcuts (with rate limiting)
• Image Zoom
• Flexible rendering using src values assigned on the fly
• Image preloading for smoother viewing
• Mobile friendly, with pinch to zoom and swipe (Thanks, @webcarrot!)
• No external CSS

Example

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Lightbox from 'react-image-lightbox';

const images = [
    '//placekitten.com/1500/500',
    '//placekitten.com/4000/3000',
    '//placekitten.com/800/1200',
    '//placekitten.com/1500/1500'
];

export default class LightboxExample extends Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);

        this.state = {
            photoIndex: 0,
            isOpen: false
        };
    }

    render() {
        const {
            photoIndex,
            isOpen,
        } = this.state;

        return (
            <div>
                <button
                    type="button"
                    onClick={() => this.setState({ isOpen: true })}
                >
                    Open Lightbox
                </button>

                {isOpen &&
                    <Lightbox
                        mainSrc={images[photoIndex]}
                        nextSrc={images[(photoIndex + 1) % images.length]}
                        prevSrc={images[(photoIndex + images.length - 1) % images.length]}

                        onCloseRequest={() => this.setState({ isOpen: false })}
                        onMovePrevRequest={() => this.setState({
                            photoIndex: (photoIndex + images.length - 1) % images.length,
                        })}
                        onMoveNextRequest={() => this.setState({
                            photoIndex: (photoIndex + 1) % images.length,
                        })}
                    />
                }
            </div>
        );
    }
}

Options

Property	Type	Default	Required	Description
mainSrc	string		yes	Main display image url
prevSrc	string			Previous display image url (displayed to the left). If left undefined, onMovePrevRequest will not be called, and the button not displayed
nextSrc	string			Next display image url (displayed to the right). If left undefined, onMoveNextRequest will not be called, and the button not displayed
mainSrcThumbnail	string			Thumbnail image url corresponding to props.mainSrc. Displayed as a placeholder while the full-sized image loads.
prevSrcThumbnail	string			Thumbnail image url corresponding to props.prevSrc. Displayed as a placeholder while the full-sized image loads.
nextSrcThumbnail	string			Thumbnail image url corresponding to props.nextSrc. Displayed as a placeholder while the full-sized image loads.
onCloseRequest	func		yes	Close window event. Should change the parent state such that the lightbox is not rendered
onMovePrevRequest	func	empty function		Move to previous image event. Should change the parent state such that props.prevSrc becomes props.mainSrc, props.mainSrc becomes props.nextSrc, etc.
onMoveNextRequest	func	empty function		Move to next image event. Should change the parent state such that props.nextSrc becomes props.mainSrc, props.mainSrc becomes props.prevSrc, etc.
onImageLoadError	func	empty function		Called when an image fails to load. (imageSrc: string, srcType: string, errorEvent: object): void
onAfterOpen	func	empty function		Called after the modal has rendered.
discourageDownloads	bool	false		Enable download discouragement (prevents [right-click -> Save Image As...])
animationDisabled	bool	false		Disable all animation
animationOnKeyInput	bool	false		Disable animation on actions performed with keyboard shortcuts
animationDuration	number	300		Animation duration (ms)
keyRepeatLimit	number	180		Required interval of time (ms) between key actions (prevents excessively fast navigation of images)
keyRepeatKeyupBonus	number	40		Amount of time (ms) restored after each keyup (makes rapid key presses slightly faster than holding down the key to navigate images)
imageTitle	node			Image title (Descriptive element above image)
imageCaption	node			Image caption (Descriptive element below image)
toolbarButtons	node[]			Array of custom toolbar buttons
reactModalStyle	Object	{}		Set z-index style, etc., for the parent react-modal (react-modal style format)
imagePadding	number	10		Padding (px) between the edge of the window and the lightbox
