# MkDocs GLightbox

A MkDocs plugin supports image lightbox with [GLightbox](https://github.com/biati-digital/glightbox).

GLightbox is a pure javascript lightbox library with mobile support.

[Live demo](https://blueswen.github.io/mkdocs-glightbox/) with [Material for MkDocs](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/).

## Dependency

1. GLightbox javascript file and CSS file
1. GLightbox==3.2.0

## Usage

1. Install the plugin from PyPI

```bash
pip install mkdocs-glightbox
```

2. Add ```glightbox``` plugin to your mkdocs.yml plugins sections:

```yaml
plugins:
- glightbox
```

3. All images will be added to the lightbox effect automatically, except images in an anchor tag and emoji images from [pymdown-extensions](https://facelessuser.github.io/pymdown-extensions/extensions/emoji/).

4. You may customize the plugin by passing options in mkdocs.yml:

```yaml
plugins:
- glightbox:
touchNavigation: true
loop: false
effect: zoom
slide_effect: slide
width: 100%
height: auto
zoomable: true
draggable: true
skip_classes:
- custom-skip-class-name
auto_caption: false
caption_position: bottom
background: white
shadow: true
manual: false
```

| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| touchNavigation | true | Enable or disable the touch navigation (swipe). |
| loop | false | Loop slides on end. |
| effect | zoom | Name of the effect on lightbox open. (zoom, fade, none) |
| slide_effect | slide | Name of the effect on lightbox slide. (slide, zoom, fade, none) |
| width | auto | Width for inline elements and iframes. You can use any unit for example 90% or 100vw for full width. |

| auto_caption | false | Enable or disable using alt of image as caption title automatically. |
| caption_position | bottom | Default captions position. (bottom, top, left, right) |
| background | white | The background CSS of lightbox image. The background will shown when the image is transparent. You can use any CSS value for the background for example `#74b9ff` or `Gainsboro` or `none` for nothing. |
| shadow | true | Enable or disable the shadow of lightbox image. Disable it when the background is `none` to prevent shadow around the transparent image. |

Check more options information on [GLightbox Docs](https://github.com/biati-digital/glightbox#lightbox-options).

5. For more flexibility:
1. [Disable by image](https://blueswen.github.io/mkdocs-glightbox/flexibility/disable-by-image/): Disable the lightbox for specific images. Suitable for a few amount of images that don't need the lightbox effect.
2. [Disable by page](https://blueswen.github.io/mkdocs-glightbox/flexibility/disable-by-page/): Disable the lightbox for specific pages. Suitable for a few amount of pages that don't need the lightbox effect.
3. [Enable by image](https://blueswen.github.io/mkdocs-glightbox/flexibility/disable-by-page-enable-by-image/): Disable the lightbox for specific pages but enable some images on those pages. Suitable for a few amount of images that need the lightbox effect.
4. [Disable globally but enable by image or page](https://blueswen.github.io/mkdocs-glightbox/flexibility/enable-by-image-or-page/): Disable the lightbox globally but enable specific images or specific pages. Suitable for a large number of images or pages that don't need the lightbox effect.
6. Support lightbox image caption, check more details on [Caption](https://blueswen.github.io/mkdocs-glightbox/caption/caption/).
7. Support grouping images as galleries, check more details on [Gallery](https://blueswen.github.io/mkdocs-glightbox/gallery/gallery/).

> [!NOTE]
> If this is your first time using the MkDocs plugin feature, you should know that MkDocs includes a default plugin named `search`. If you want to keep the search feature, you need to add the `search` plugin back to the `plugins` list.

## How it works

1. Copy GLightbox script file into `site/assets/javascripts/` directory and CSS file into `site/assets/stylesheets/` directory
2. Import GLightbox script and CSS file and add javascript code on each page excluded disabled pages
3. Search all image tags and warp with an anchor tag for GLightbox excluded images with skip class or already warped with an anchor tag
