PhotoSwipe

PhotoSwipe is the first open-source gallery to support JavaScript-based image zooming. Even if a browser’s native zooming has been disabled, image zooming will still work. The gallery’s background will gradually fade out as the user zooms out. When the gesture is complete, the gallery will close. Gesture is added because close button in top right corner might be hard to reach on tall mobile devices while holding in one hand. Images can be changed even when current slide is zoomed. Swiping is not blocked during the transition. PhotoSwipe manipulates the browser’s history so that the user can link to each gallery item and close the gallery via the “back” button. The initial URL is restored when the gallery is closed. PhotoSwipe adds a history record when the gallery is opened, which allows the user to close it via the browser’s “back” button. This feature comes as a module. You can exclude it from the build entirely, or fork it to fit the requirements of your product’s URL structure.
