Craft Lightbox plugin for Craft CMS
===================================

[](#craft-lightbox-plugin-for-craft-cms)

[![](src/icon.svg)](src/icon.svg)

Craft Lightbox renders a simple and lightweight lightbox that is both responsive and accessible. It's suitable for anyone seeking a quick plug-and-play lightbox solution without much setup required.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- Craft CMS 3.X, 4.X or 5.X
- PHP 7.4+

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install the plugin as follows:

1. Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:

    ```
    cd /path/to/project

    ```
2. Then tell Composer to load the plugin:

    ```
    composer require dodecastudio/craft-lightbox

    ```
3. In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for Lightbox.

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

The fastest way to take a look at the lightbox in action, is to copy the [demo.twig](resources/demo.twig) file in to your project and view it in a browser. So long as you have some assets in your project, you should see some content on that page.

Otherwise, create an `AssetQuery` and give it to lightbox's `gallery` method. Then include lightbox's `render` method like so:

```
{# Fetch some images #}
{% set myAssetQuery = craft.assets().kind("image").limit(20) %}

{# Display the images in a gallery #}
{{ craft.lightbox.gallery(myAssetQuery) }}

{# Embed the Lightbox on the page #}
{{ craft.lightbox.render() }}
```

Please see the [Craft Lightbox Docs](https://github.com/dodecastudio/craft-lightbox/wiki) for a complete guide, including more [templating](https://github.com/dodecastudio/craft-lightbox/wiki/Templating) examples and full details on [configuration](https://github.com/dodecastudio/craft-lightbox/wiki/Configuration).
