A Responsive and User-Friendly React Image Gallery Package

Image description

As a web developer, I always look for tools to enhance user experience and simplify workflow. Today, I'm excited to introduce overlay-image-gallery, a new React library that offers a multi-step image overlay and preview functionality. This package is designed to create responsive and user-friendly image galleries with just a few lines of code.
What is overlay-image-gallery?
overlay-image-gallery is a React component that transforms the way we display image galleries. It provides a two-step viewing experience:

  1. An initial gallery view with a subset of images

  2. A modal gallery view that displays the full set of images when an image is clicked

 

Preview

 

Key Features:

  • Responsive design that adapts to various screen sizes

  • User-friendly interface with clickable images and navigation

  • Customizable layout options

  • Full-screen mode capability

  • Easy integration into React projects

How It Works:

  1. The component renders an initial gallery of images.

  2. When a user clicks on an image, a modal opens with a larger gallery view.

  3. In the modal, users can click on images to view them in full size.

  4. A clickable list of thumbnails is available for quick navigation.

Installation:

npm install overlay-image-gallery
or
yarn add overlay-image-gallery

Usage:

import { ImageGallery } from "overlay-image-gallery";
const App = () => {
  const images = [
    "https://example.com/image1.jpg",
    "https://example.com/image2.jpg",
    "https://example.com/image3.jpg",
  ];

return(
<ImageGallery 
   images={images} 
   width={800} 
   height={600}
   grid="v1" />
)};

export default App;
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Props
