To start using ZLPhotoBrowser in your app, follow these steps:

Step 2: Configure photo data source

ZLPhotoBrowser needs a data source to display photos. To provide the necessary data, create an array of ZLPhotoModel to represent your photos. Each ZLPhotoModel object should contain the necessary image information, such as URL, asset, or locally stored image.

Here is an example:

let photos: [ZLPhotoModel] = [
    ZLPhotoModel(imageURL: URL(string: "https://example.com/photo1.jpg")),
    ZLPhotoModel(asset: myPHAsset),
    ZLPhotoModel(image: UIImage(named: "localImage"))
]

Step 3: Display the photo browser

To present the ZLPhotoBrowser view controller, initialize it with the photo data source and present it from your desired view controller:

// Initialize ZLPhotoBrowser
let browser = ZLPhotoBrowser(photos: photos, initialIndex: 0)
present(browser, animated: true, completion: nil)

ZLPhotoBrowser provides several customization options to tailor the appearance and behavior of the photo browser:

// Customize animation transitions
