Lity ==== Lity is a ultra-lightweight, accessible and responsive lightbox plugin which supports images, iframes and inline content out of the box. Minified and gzipped, its total footprint weights about 3kB. It requires [jQuery](https://jquery.com) or [Zepto](http://zeptojs.com) (with the [callbacks](https://github.com/madrobby/zepto/blob/master/src/callbacks.js), [deferred](https://github.com/madrobby/zepto/blob/master/src/deferred.js) and [data](https://github.com/madrobby/zepto/blob/master/src/data.js) modules). Installation ------------ All ready-to-use files are located in the [`dist/`](dist/) directory. Include the Lity javascript and css files and its dependencies in your HTML document: ```html ``` Lity can also be installed via Bower or [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/lity). Usage ----- ### Declarative Add the `data-lity` attribute to `` elements for which you want the links to be opened in a lightbox: ```html Image Inline iFrame Youtube iFrame Vimeo Google Maps

Inline content

``` If you want to open another URI than defined in the `href` attribute, just add a `data-lity-target` with the URI: ```html Image ``` ### Programmatic The `lity` function can be either used directly to open URLs (or HTML) in a lightbox or as an event handler. ``` Lity lity(string target, [Object options, [, HTMLElement|$ opener]]) ``` #### Arguments * `target`: The URL or HTML to open. * `options`: Options as an object of key-value pairs. * `opener`: The element which triggered opening the lightbox (if used as a event handler, this is automatically set to the element which triggered the event). #### Return value A [`Lity`](#the-lity-instance) instance. #### Example ```javascript // Open a URL or HTML in a lightbox lity('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSGBVzeBUbk'); lity('

Some content to show...

'); // Bind as an event handler $(document).on('click', '[data-my-lightbox]', lity); ``` The Lity instance ----------------- If you open a lightbox programmatically, the `lity` function returns a `Lity` instance you can use to interact with the lightbox. The `Lity` instance is also passed as the second argument to the [event handlers](#events). ```javascript var instance = lity('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSGBVzeBUbk'); ``` ### API * [Lity.close](#lityclose) * [Lity.element](#lityelement) * [Lity.opener](#lityopener) * [Lity.options](#lityoptions) #### Lity.close Closes the lightbox and returns a promise which resolves once the closing animation is finished. ```javascript instance.close().then(function() { console.log('Lightbox closed'); }); ``` #### Lity.element Returns the root HTML element. ```javascript var element = instance.element(); ``` #### Lity.opener Returns the HTML element which triggered opening the lightbox. ```javascript var opener = instance.opener(); ``` **Note**: The value might be undefined if the lightbox has been opened programmatically and not by a click event handler and no opener argument was provided. #### Lity.options Sets or returns options of the instance. ```javascript var allOptions = instance.options(); var template = instance.options('template'); instance.options('template', '

...

'); var closeOnEsc = instance.options('esc'); instance.options('esc', false); ``` Events ------ All events receive the [`Lity`](#the-lity-instance) instance as the second argument. ### Available events * [lity:open](#lityopen) * [lity:ready](#lityready) * [lity:close](#lityclose) * [lity:remove](#lityremove) * [lity:resize](#lityresize) #### lity:open Triggered before the lightbox is opened. ```javascript $(document).on('lity:open', function(event, instance) { console.log('Lightbox opened'); }); ``` #### lity:ready Triggered when the lightbox is ready. ```javascript $(document).on('lity:ready', function(event, instance) { console.log('Lightbox ready'); }); ``` #### lity:close Triggered before the lightbox is closed. ```javascript $(document).on('lity:close', function(event, instance) { console.log('Lightbox closed'); }); ``` #### lity:remove Triggered when the closing animation is finished and just before the lightbox is removed from the DOM. ```javascript $(document).on('lity:remove', function(event, instance) { console.log('Lightbox removed'); }); ``` #### lity:resize Triggered when the instance is resized, usually when the user resizes the window. ```javascript $(document).on('lity:resize', function(event, instance) { console.log('Lightbox resized'); }); ``` License ------- Copyright (c) 2015-2020 Jan Sorgalla.
