Bootstrap 5 Lightbox
Lightbox is a responsive gallery with the option to enlarge selected photos.
To take advantage of our Bootstrap images component and use them in your project, you first need to install the MDB 5 Free package
Watch our Quick Start Tutorial to discover and use the full potential of MDB 5 and MDB CLI
Before starting the project make sure to install Node LTS (12.x.x recommended).
To install MDB UI KIT in your project easily type the following command in the terminal:
npm i mdb-ui-kit
You can import the entire library or just individual modules:
import * as mdb from 'mdb-ui-kit'; // lib
import { Input } from 'mdb-ui-kit'; // module
To import MDB stylesheet please use the following syntax:
@import '~mdb-ui-kit/css/mdb.min.css';
You can also import individual SCSS modules. To do it properly, we recommend to copy them from the node_modules/mdb-ui-kit/src/scss location directly to your project and import in the same way as CSS files.
You can significantly speed up the process of creating a new project based on Webpack using our Starter.
Installation via CDN is one of the easiest methods of integrating MDB UI KIT with your project. Just copy the latest compiled JS script tag and CSS link tag from cdnjs to the application.
Don't forget to add also Font Awesome and Roboto font if you need. Here's an example code:
<!-- Font Awesome -->
<link
href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.1/css/all.min.css"
rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- Google Fonts -->
<link
href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700&display=swap"
rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- MDB -->
<link
href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mdb-ui-kit/3.3.0/mdb.min.css"
rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- MDB -->
<script
type="text/javascript"
src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mdb-ui-kit/3.3.0/mdb.min.js"
></script>
A basic example of a lightbox with the most common use case with the bootstrap grid.
<div class="lightbox">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-4">
<img
src="https://mdbootstrap.com/img/Photos/Thumbnails/Slides/1.jpg"
data-mdb-img="https://mdbootstrap.com/img/Photos/Slides/1.jpg"
alt="Lightbox image 1"
class="w-100"
/>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">
<img
src="https://mdbootstrap.com/img/Photos/Thumbnails/Slides/2.jpg"
data-mdb-img="https://mdbootstrap.com/img/Photos/Slides/2.jpg"
alt="Lightbox image 2"
class="w-100"
/>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">
<img
src="https://mdbootstrap.com/img/Photos/Thumbnails/Slides/3.jpg"
data-mdb-img="https://mdbootstrap.com/img/Photos/Slides/3.jpg"
alt="Lightbox image 3"
class="w-100"
/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
To ensure the proper performance of the page, it is recommended to include thumbnails of images in the src attribute. Then in the data-mdb-img
attribute add the path to the image with higher resolution. If the data-mdb-img
attribute is omitted, the lightbox will display the same image as in the reduced size.
<img src="https://mdbootstrap.com/img/Photos/Thumbnails/Slides/1.jpg"
data-mdb-img="https://mdbootstrap.com/img/Photos/Slides/1.jpg" alt="Lightbox image 1"
class="w-100" />
