Usage Example

Files

<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/halkaBox.min.css">
<script src="path/to/halkaBox.min.js"></script>

Markup for Galleries

Anchor tags with shared classes will be treated as galleries. Put captions if any, in title or data-title attributes.

<a href="..." class="gallery1" title="Caption"><img src="..."></a>
<a href="..." class="gallery1" data-title="Caption"><img src="..."></a>
<a href="..." class="gallery1"><img src="..."></a>

<a href="..." class="gallery2"><img src="..."></a>
<a href="..." class="gallery2" title="Caption"><img src="..."></a>
<a href="..." class="gallery2" data-title="Caption"><img src="..."></a>

Markup for Single Images

"hb-single" class is reserved for single images. This way you can set options for all single images at once.

<a href="..." class="hb-single" title="Caption"><img src="..."></a>
<a href="..." class="hb-single"><img src="..."></a>
<a href="..." class="hb-single" title="Caption"><img src="..."></a>

Or you can set a unique class to each anchor tag and it will be treated as a single image. You can use custom options for each single image this way.

<a href="..." class="singleImage1" title="Caption"><img src="..."></a>
<a href="..." class="singleImage2"><img src="..."></a>

Javascript for Galleries

halkaBox.run("gallery1");
halkaBox.run("gallery2");

Javascript for Single Images

halkaBox.run("hb-single");
halkaBox.run("singleImage1");
halkaBox.run("singleImage2");

Options

Setting Options Globally

halkaBox.options({
    hideButtons: true,       // hide buttons on touch devices (true || false)
    animation: "slide",      // animation type on next/prev ("slide" || "fade")
    theme: "light",          // lightbox overlay theme ("light" || "dark")
    preload: 2,              // number of images to preload
    swipeDownToClose: false, // swipe down to close (true || false)
    swipeUpToClose: false,   // swipe up to close (true || false)
    nextPrevOnWheel: true,   // goto next/prev image on wheel (true || false)
    isZoomable: true         // ability to zoom image (true || false)
});
halkaBox.run("...");
...

halkaBox.options() should come before halkaBox.run().

Setting Options Individually

halkaBox.run("...", {
    hideButtons: true,       // hide buttons on touch devices (true || false)
    animation: "slide",      // animation type on next/prev ("slide" || "fade")
    theme: "light",          // lightbox overlay theme ("light" || "dark")
    preload: 2,              // number of images to preload
    swipeDownToClose: false, // swipe down to close (true || false)
    swipeUpToClose: false,   // swipe up to close (true || false)
    nextPrevOnWheel: true,   // goto next/prev image on wheel (true || false)
    isZoomable: true         // ability to zoom image (true || false)
});
...

Available Options
