# angular-bootstrap-lightbox

This lightbox displays images using an [AngularUI Bootstrap Modal](http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/#/modal) (v0.14).

When the lightbox is opened, navigating to the previous/next image can be achieved by clicking buttons above the image, clicking the left/right arrow keys, or swiping to the left/right (optional with ngTouch). The escape key for closing the modal is automatically binded by AngularUI Bootstrap.

Large images are scaled to fit inside the window. An optional image caption overlays the top left corner of the image.

## Demos

[Demos](http://compact.github.io/angular-bootstrap-lightbox/)

## Setup

1. Install in one of the following ways:

  * Install with Bower: `bower install angular-bootstrap-lightbox --save`
  * Install with npm: `npm install angular-bootstrap-lightbox --save`
  * Manually save the script and stylesheet from [`dist`](dist).

2. Include the stylesheet in your app:

  ```html
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="angular-bootstrap-lightbox/dist/angular-bootstrap-lightbox.css">
  ```

3. Include the script in your app:

  ```html
  <script src="angular-bootstrap-lightbox/dist/angular-bootstrap-lightbox.js"></script>
  ```

4. The Angular module is named `bootstrapLightbox`. Add it as a dependency to your module:

  ```js
  angular.module('app', ['bootstrapLightbox']);
  ```

5. Optional dependencies:

  * To enable swipe navigation in the lightbox, include the [ngTouch](https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngTouch) script.
  * To show a loading bar while an image is loading, include the [angular-loading-bar](https://github.com/chieffancypants/angular-loading-bar) script.
  * For video support, include the [ng-videosharing-embed](https://github.com/erost/ng-videosharing-embed) script.

## Basic example

Gallery:

```html
<ul ng-controller="GalleryCtrl">
  <li ng-repeat="image in images">
    <a ng-click="openLightboxModal($index)">
      <img ng-src="{{image.thumbUrl}}" class="img-thumbnail">
    </a>
  </li>
</ul>
```

Controller:

```js
angular.module('app').controller('GalleryCtrl', function ($scope, Lightbox) {
  $scope.images = [
    {
      'url': '1.jpg',
      'caption': 'Optional caption',
      'thumbUrl': 'thumb1.jpg' // used only for this example
    },
    {
      'url': '2.gif',
      'thumbUrl': 'thumb2.jpg'
    },
    {
      'url': '3.png',
      'thumbUrl': 'thumb3.png'
    }
  ];

  $scope.openLightboxModal = function (index) {
    Lightbox.openModal($scope.images, index);
  };
});
```

## Configuration

### Changing the appearance of the modal lightbox

The default view template for the lightbox is [lightbox.html](src/lightbox.html). Its look can be changed by making your own custom template and/or adding CSS rules; for example, use the selector `.lightbox-image-caption` to style the caption.

If you make your own template and save it at `lightbox.html`, no further code is necessary. If you save it at a different path, set it in the provider:

```js
angular.module('app').config(function (LightboxProvider) {
  // set a custom template
  LightboxProvider.templateUrl = 'path/to/your-template.html';
});
```

### Disabling the keyboard navigation

The keyboard navigation in the lightbox with the left/right arrow keys can be enabled/disabled at any time by changing the value of the boolean `Lightbox.keyboardNavEnabled`.

### Array of images

The first argument to `Lightbox.openModal` must be an array, and its elements may be of any type. In the basic example above, it is an array of objects with properties `url` and `caption`, but this is only the default and is not required. To let the `Lightbox` service know the correct values, set these methods in the provider:

```js
angular.module('app').config(function (LightboxProvider) {
  LightboxProvider.getImageUrl = function (image) {
    return '/base/dir/' + image.getName();
  };

  LightboxProvider.getImageCaption = function (image) {
    return image.label;
  };
});
```

### Image and modal scaling

By default, images are scaled only if they are too large for the modal to contain without scrolling.

If you want all images to be scaled to the maximum possible dimensions, update the `Lightbox.fullScreenMode` boolean:

```js
angular.module('app').config(function (LightboxProvider) {
  LightboxProvider.fullScreenMode = true;
});
```

For more custom behaviour, see the [documentation](src/lightbox-service.js) of the methods `calculateImageDimensionLimits` and `calculateModalDimensions`.

### Videos

An element in the array of 'images' is considered a video if it is an object with a `type` property having the value `video` (see the [demo](http://compact.github.io/angular-bootstrap-lightbox/demo5/index.html)). To change this, write your own `LightboxProvider.isVideo` method.

By default, a video is embedded directly if its url ends in `.mp4`, `.ogg`, or `.webm`. Every other url is considered a video from an external sharing service (such as YouTube). To change this check, edit the `LightboxProvider.isSharedVideo` method. The `ng-videosharing-embed` library is used for embedding shared videos if it is included in your app. You can use another video library by changing the template.

For now, the maximum video dimensions are fixed at 1280x720 (16:9).
