Add tap to view full-screen image to a gallery
To add a “Tap to view full-screen image” option to a gallery, you can use JavaScript and CSS to create an overlay that displays the image in full-screen mode when the user taps on it.
Here’s a basic approach you can use:
- First, create a container for your gallery and add all the images you want to display.
<div class="gallery">
<img src="image1.jpg">
<img src="image2.jpg">
<img src="image3.jpg">
<!-- add more images here -->
</div>
- Next, add some CSS to style the gallery and the images.
.gallery {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.gallery img {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
margin: 5px;
}
- Now, add a click event listener to each image using JavaScript. When the user clicks on an image, the JavaScript will create an overlay and display the image in full-screen mode.
const gallery = document.querySelector('.gallery');
const images = gallery.querySelectorAll('img');
images.forEach((image) => {
image.addEventListener('click', () => {
// create overlay
const overlay = document.createElement('div');
overlay.classList.add('overlay');
// create image element
const fullScreenImage = document.createElement('img');
fullScreenImage.src = image.src;
fullScreenImage.classList.add('full-screen-image');
// add image element to overlay
overlay.appendChild(fullScreenImage);
// add overlay to page
document.body.appendChild(overlay);
});
});
- Finally, add some CSS to style the overlay and the full-screen image.
.overlay {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9);
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
.full-screen-image {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
object-fit: contain;
}
With these steps, you should now have a gallery that allows users to view images in full-screen mode by tapping on them.
