Overview

The amp-lightbox-gallery component provides a "lightbox” experience for AMP components (e.g., amp-img, amp-carousel). When the user interacts with the AMP element, a UI component expands to fill the viewport until it is closed by the user. Currently, only images are supported.

Usage

To use amp-lightbox-gallery, ensure the required script is included in your <head> section, then add the lightbox attribute on an <amp-img> or <amp-carousel> element. A typical usage looks like this:

<amp-img src="cat.jpg" width="100" height="100" lightbox></amp-img>
<amp-img src="dog.jpg" width="100" height="100" lightbox></amp-img>
<amp-img src="bird.jpg" width="100" height="100" lightbox></amp-img>

Tapping on any <amp-img> opens the image in a lightbox gallery. The lightbox gallery does image-handling (e.g., zoom and pan), enables swiping to navigate between images, and offers a thumbnail gallery view for browsing all picture thumbnails in a grid.

<amp-carousel lightbox width="1600" height="900" layout="responsive" type="slides">
  <amp-img src="image1" width="200" height="100"></amp-img>
  <amp-img src="image1" width="200" height="100"></amp-img>
  <amp-img src="image1" width="200" height="100"></amp-img>
</amp-carousel>

You can add the lightbox attribute on an <amp-carousel> to lightbox all of its children. Currently, the <amp-lightbox-gallery> component only supports carousels containing <amp-img> as children. As you navigate through the carousel items in the lightbox, the original carousel slides are synchronized so that when the lightbox is closed, the user ends up on the same slide as the were originally on. Currently, only the type='slides' carousel is supported.

Captions

Optionally, you can specify a caption for each element in the lightbox. These fields are automatically read and displayed by the <amp-lightbox-gallery> in the following order of priority:

  • figcaption (if the lightboxed element is the child of a figure)
  • aria-describedby
  • alt
  • aria-label
  • aria-labelledby

Example 1: Using figcaption for description

In this example, <amp-lightbox-gallery> displays the figcaption value as its description, showing "Toront's CN tower was ....".

<figure>
  <amp-img id="hero-img" lightbox="toronto" src="https://picsum.photos/1600/900?image=1075" layout="responsive" width="1600"
    height="900" alt="Picture of CN tower.">
  </amp-img>
  <figcaption class="image">
    Toronto's CN tower was built in 1976 and was the tallest free-standing structure until 2007.
  </figcaption>
</figure>

Example 2: Using alt for description

In this example, <amp-lightbox-gallery> displays the alt value as its description, showing "Picture of CN tower".

<amp-img
  id="hero-img"
  lightbox="toronto"
  src="https://picsum.photos/1600/900?image=1075"
  layout="responsive"
  width="1600"
  height="900"
  alt="Picture of CN tower">
</amp-img>

Thumbnail API

Lightboxed items have a thumbnail gallery view. You can optionally specify a thumbnail item for your lightboxed element via the attribute lightbox-thumbnail-id that references the id of an <amp-img> element with layout="nodisplay".

Example: using lightbox-thumbnail-id to specify a thumbnail 

<amp-youtube width="480"
  height="270"
  layout="responsive"
  data-videoid="lBTCB7yLs8Y"
  lightbox-thumbnail-id="my-thumbnail-img">
</amp-youtube>

<amp-img id="my-thumbnail-img"
  width="200"
  height="200"
  layout="nodisplay"
  src="https://picsum.photos/200/200?image=1074">
</amp-img>

If no thumbnail is specified, <amp-img> elements will be cropped per object-fit: cover, <amp-video> will use the image src specified in its poster attribute, and placeholder images will be used for lightboxed elements that have one.
