Lightbox

Create a fancy lightbox for images and videos utilizing the Modal component.

Usage

To apply this component, add the data-uk-lightbox attribute to an anchor linking to the image you wish to display. If a title attribute exists it will be displayed as a caption for the lightbox.

Example

Markup

<a href="my-image.jpg" data-uk-lightbox title="">...</a>

Groups

You can link multiple images to the same lightbox and switch between them from within the lightbox, thus creating a gallery. Just add the {group:'my-group'} option to the data attribute of each item using the same name on all items that you want to group. Make sure to include the CSS from the Slidenav component, so you can navigate between the items.

Example

Markup

<a href="" data-uk-lightbox="{group:'my-group'}">...</a>

Different content sources

A lightbox is not restricted to images. Other media, like videos, can be displayed inside a lightbox and it will automatically generate the correct output by evaluating your path.

Example

Image MP4 Vimeo YouTube Iframe

Content types

If no filename extension is defined in the image path, just add the data-lightbox-type="image" attribute. This works for videos as well. The iframe content type will be automatically detected for urls ending in .html or .php. To force the iframe, add the data-lightbox-type="iframe" attribute.

JavaScript options

Init element manually

var lightbox = UIkit.lightbox(element, { /* options */ });

Create dynamic lightbox

                                var lightbox = UIkit.lightbox.create([
                                    {'source': 'http://url/to/video.mp4', 'type':'video'},
                                    {'source': 'http://url/to/image.jpg', 'type':'image'}
                                ]);

                                lightbox.show();
