<Gallery /> component ships with default PhotoSwipeUI and Layout. Such a setup is suitable for most cases. If you want more control, jump to advanced usage example.

Installation

yarn add photoswipe react-photoswipe-gallery

or

npm install photoswipe react-photoswipe-gallery --save

Advanced Usage

If you want to customize PhotoSwipe layout or use your PhotoSwipe UI, you should take <CustomGallery /> component.

We also provide configurable <DefaultLayout />. It's suitable for most cases, and provide props for configuring all captions and removing unneeded UI elements.

Also, if you have more than one gallery instance in your view, we recommend reusing <Layout /> between several <CustomGallery />.

import PhotoswipeUIDefault from 'photoswipe/dist/photoswipe-ui-default'
import { CustomGallery, Item, DefaultLayout } from 'react-photoswipe-gallery'

const MyGallery = () => {
  const layoutRef = useRef()

  return (
    <CustomGallery layoutRef={layoutRef} ui={PhotoswipeUIDefault}>
      {/*...*/}
    </CustomGallery>

    <CustomGallery layoutRef={layoutRef} ui={PhotoswipeUIDefault}>
      {/*...*/}
    </CustomGallery>

    <DefaultLayout
      shareButton={false}
      fullscreenButton={false}
      zoomButton={false}
      ref={layoutRef}
    />
  )
}

Hash Navigation

You should pass a unique id prop to <Gallery /> or <CustomGallery /> component, to enable hash navigation.

Optionally, you can also pass the id to <Item /> component. Otherwise, the index will be used.

const MyGallery = () => {
  <Gallery id="my-gallery">
    <Item
      id="first-pic"
      {/*...*/}
    />
    <Item
      id="second-pic"
      {/*...*/}
    />
  </Gallery>
}

Props

You can pass any of DefaultLayout props to Gallery.

Prop Type Required Description
id Number or String ✓ (for hash navigation) Item ID, for hash navigation

onOpen Function Triggers after PhotoSwipe.init() call. Use it for accessing PhotoSwipe API. It will receive PhotoSwipe instance as the first argument: (photoswipe: PhotoSwipe) => void
