How To Make My React-multi-carousel Use A Light-box Feature For My Reactjs App

I have images coming in from a rest api, into my application. Those images then get populated into a react-multi-carousel. What I would like to do is to make those images clickable

Solution 1:

You can do the lightbox by hand by issuing an onClick for each image and enlarging the image, adding captions, full screen etc.

It is a lot easier if you can make use of existing libraries to implement lightbox feature for your carousal such as react-images.

Here is the working copy of your code with light box feature implemented(using react-multi-carousel and react-images).

Here is the code snippet.

importReact, { Component } from"react";
// import "../slider/slider.css";import"./slider.css";
importCarouselfrom"react-multi-carousel";
import"react-multi-carousel/lib/styles.css";
importLightBox, { Modal, ModalGateway } from"react-images";

const responsive = {
  superLargeDesktop: {
    breakpoint: { max: 4000, min: 3000 },
    items: 1
  },
  desktop: {
    breakpoint: { max: 3000, min: 1024 },
    items: 1
  },
  tablet: {
    breakpoint: { max: 1024, min: 464 },
    items: 1
  },
  mobile: {
    breakpoint: { max: 464, min: 0 },
    items: 1
  }
};
