| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| background | string | rgba(0,0,0,.8) | Background for the lightbox. Is used directly as a CSS background statement so that color and/or an image can be used. |
| closeOnEscape | boolean | true | Should the lightbox close upon pressing ESC? |
| closeOnBackdropClick | boolean | true | Should the lightbox close upon clicking on backdrop? |
| destroyTimeout | number | 500 | How many ms should we wait before actually removing the lightbox from the DOM? The default is used so that a 0.5s opacity transition can take place. |
| itemSelector | string | a | jQuery-like selector for the carousel-to-create items. The items should be anchors with href attribute aiming at the desired lightbox image. If that's not the case, you should specify the src option. |
| navigateByKeyboard | boolean | true | Can you use keyboard arrows to navigate the carousel? |
| slick | object | {} | Slick options to pass to the carousel. |
| caption | various | false | Should the images be captioned? If false, no caption is created. You can pass your own function accepting the element and info attributes (e.g. function(element, info) { return $(element).doSomething(); }, with info being an { index: itemIndex, length: itemCount } object) or a string with the name of the data-attribute to be fetched (my-caption will get the value of data-my-caption attribute). |
| src | various | false | How to get the image urls? If false, no src is taken as the href attribute. You can pass your own function accepting the element as an attribute (e.g. function(element) { return $(element).doSomething(); }) or a string with the name of the attribute to be fetched (src will get the value of element.src attribute). |
| captionPosition | various | 'dynamic' | Where should the caption be placed? When set to 'dynamic', the caption is displayed right under the image. When 'bottom', the caption is on the bottom of the screen independent to the image size. |
| images | various | false | When passed an array, slick lightbox doesn't scan the elements for image URLs and uses array's values instead. |
| useHistoryApi | boolean | false | When true, opening the lightbox does a history.pushState. The plugin then listens for the popstate event to close the lightbox. |
| layouts | object | See Layouts | |
| shouldOpen | function | null | Given a function, checks the return value before opening. If the function returns a falsy value, the lightbox is not opened upon clicking on the items. Accepts three arguments - the slick lightbox instance as the first, the clicked element as the second and the click event as the last. |
| imageMaxHeight | number | 0.9 | Maximum height of the lightbox images. Relative to the window height. |
| lazy | boolean | false | Should the images be lazyloaded? |
| lazyPlaceholder | string | null | Path to lazyloading placeholder. Defaults to a blank gif. |
Events
Events are triggered on the source element. Example:
$(document).ready(function(){ $('ul').slickLightbox().on({ 'show.slickLightbox': function(){ console.log('A `show.slickLightbox` event triggered.'); },1 'shown.slickLightbox': function(){ console.log('A `shown.slickLightbox` event triggered.'); }, 'hide.slickLightbox': function(){ console.log('A `hide.slickLightbox` event triggered.'); }, 'hidden.slickLightbox': function(){ console.log('A `hidden.slickLightbox` event triggered.'); } }); });| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| show.slickLightbox | Triggered when the lightbox is opened. |
| shown.slickLightbox | Triggered when the lightbox is opened, after the transitions took place. |
| hide.slickLightbox | Triggered when the lightbox is closed. |
| hidden.slickLightbox | Triggered when the lightbox is closed, after the transitions took place. |
Layouts
The layout is customizable using the layouts option object.
layouts.closeButton, which defaults to<button type="button" class="slick-lightbox-close"></button>
Lightbox instance
You can access the lightbox instance through the bound element. It's assigned to .slickLightbox. Example:
$('#my-element').slickLightbox() console.log('My slickLightbox instance:', $('#my-element')[0].slickLightbox) // once a lightbox is opened console.log('My slick instance:', $('#my-element')[0].slickLightbox.slick)Demos
The slick-lightbox demo page contains various setups of slick lightbox.
