Getting Started:

  1. First, make sure you have included the Lightbox library in your project by adding the script tag to your HTML file:
    2. <script src="path/to/lightbox.js"></script>
  2. Add a reference to the Lightbox CSS file in the <head> section of your HTML file:
    3. <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/lightbox.css">
  3. Once you have the necessary files included, you can start using Lightbox by adding the appropriate HTML structure to your page. For example:
    4. <div class="lightbox">
  <a href="path/to/image.jpg" data-lightbox="gallery">
    <img src="path/to/thumbnail.jpg" alt="Image description">
  </a>
</div>
  4. Your gallery is now ready to be used. Repeat the above step for each image you want to include in the gallery, ensuring that the data-lightbox attribute values match to group related images together.

Advanced Usage:

Lightbox provides several options to customize its behavior and appearance. You can modify these options by passing an object of settings as a parameter during initialization. For example:

// Example customization options
var options = {
  slideshowSpeed: 5000,
  showCaption: true,
  maximizeFit: true,
  // ...more options
};

// Initialize Lightbox with the custom options
lightbox.init(options);
