Usage
-----

[](#usage)

As an AMD module:

```
define(function(require) {
	var lightbox = require('elgg/lightbox');
	var spinner = require('elgg/spinner');

	lightbox.open({
		html: 'You are welcome',
		onClosed: function() {
			lightbox.open({
				onLoad: spinner.start,
				onComplete: spinner.stop,
				photo: true,
				href: 'https://www.petfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/122163343-conditioning-dog-loud-noises-632x475.jpg',
			});
		}
	});
});
```

You can also add `.elgg-lightbox` or `.elgg-lightbox-photo` class to your HTML elements (with a `href` or `src`) attribute. Additional parameters can be passed with `data-colorbox-opts` as a json\_encoded object.

Note that for the `rel` options to take effect, you will need to call a colorbox on a selector, e.g.

```
require(['elgg/lightbox'], function() {
	$('.elgg-lightbox-photo').colorbox({photo: true});
});
```

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

- This drop `elgg.ui.lightbox` namespace. Use AMD module instead.
