# hugo-snap-gallery

Automagical css image gallery in [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) using shortcodes. Lightweight, slim and fully local JavaScript.

## Features

- Custom `{{< snap-gallery >}}` shortcode that allows to display multiple images
- Two modes:
  - **slideshow** displaying only one image at a time with the ability to navigate
  - **gallery** displaying all selected pictures next to each other
- All pictures can be expanded on click in a lightbox
- Manually select the images you want to display, or provide the path to a directory to use all images inside. This can be combined!
- Next/prev buttons in slideshow and lightbox views
- The gallery is responsive, images are scaled/cropped to fill 16:10 tiles
- CSS and JS is automatically loaded the first time you use the `{{< snap-gallery >}}` shortcode on each page
- Multiple galleries/slideshows per page supported, no interference
- Automatic rotation of slideshow with a configurable interval. Can also be disabled.

### Roadmap / untested

- Captions / title
- Alternative text


## Installation

Use this like an additional Hugo theme, so add it to the `theme` config. Example:

```
theme = [ "hugo-sustain", "hugo-snap-gallery" ]
```

## `{{< snap-gallery >}}` shortcode usage

Quickstart:

- `{{< snap-gallery src="image1.jpg, image2.png" >}}`: Display these two images in **gallery** mode
- `{{< snap-gallery src="image1.jpg, image2.png" mode="slideshow" >}}`: Display these two images in **slideshow** mode
- `{{< snap-gallery src="img/folder1/, image2.png" >}}`: Display all images in the directory `img/folder1` and the single image `image2.png` in **gallery** mode

All parameters:

- `src`: Must contain either a comma-separated list of paths to images, or a directory path containing images.
- `lightbox`: Whether a click on an image shall open a lightbox modal. Default: `true`.
- `aspectratio`: Define the aspect ratio of the images in the slideshow/gallery. Default: `16/10`.
- `mode`: Can be either `gallery` or `slideshow`. Default: `gallery`.
- For gallery mode:
  - `columns`: Amount of columns the images are displayed in. Default: `4`.
  - `minwidth`: Minimum width that each image shall have, e.g. `150px` or `30%`. May conflict with the desired amount of columns. Default: `200px`.
- For slideshow mode:
  - `slideshowwidth`: Width of slideshow, e.g. `300px` or `80%`. Default: `100%`.
  - `slideshowrotate`: Whether the slideshow shall automatically rotate through the images. Default: `true`.
  - `slideshowrotate_timer`: Interval of automatic slideshow rotation (if enabled), in milliseconds. Default: `5000` (5 seconds).

**Note: Boolean values (`true`/`false`) must be provided without surrounding `"` characters!** `lightbox=false` disables the lightbox, while `lightbox="false"` does not.

## Credits

The original inspiration for this shortcode came from [Li-Wen Yip's easy-gallery](https://github.com/liwenyip/hugo-easy-gallery). The first major version of this was already a 90% rewrite, and the current one has even less to do with it. However, the rewrite took some inspirations from [W3Schools](https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_lightbox.asp), thanks!
