nanogallery2 - get started

Use one of these HTML templates for quickly building a gallery with lightbox from scratch.





Get the script:

      Download it from Github
      Or install from NPM: npm install nanogallery2
      Or use nanogallery from a CDN: CDNJS JSDELIVER UNPKG



Include jQuery:

      The jQuery library needs to be included before jquery.nanogallery2.min.js file.
      Include jQuery only once per page.
      Compatibility issue: do not use jQuery v3.0/v3.1 because of a jQuery regression (described here).



Full working HTML template:

  option 1: HTML markup  

  option 2: Javascript  



No javascript required. Options are configured with the data-nanogallery2 attribute.
