I will tell you about, Angular 9 – Angular Ngx-Lightbox.

1. Here is the command you need to run to install lightbox module into your angular 9 application:

npm i ngx-lightbox

2. Here is the code you need to add your angular.json file:

...
{
  "styles": [
    "node_modules/ngx-lightbox/lightbox.css",
    ...
  ],
}
...

3. Here is the code you need to add into your app.module.ts file:

import { LightboxModule } from 'ngx-lightbox';
 
@NgModule({
  imports: [ LightboxModule ]
})

4. Here is the code you need to add into your app.component.ts file:

import { Lightbox } from 'ngx-lightbox';
 
export class AppComponent {
  _albums = [];
  constructor(private _lightbox: Lightbox) {
    for (let i = 1; i <= 4; i++) {
      const src = 'https://themyth92.com/project/ngx-lightbox/demo/img/image' + i + '.jpg';
      const caption = 'Image ' + i + ' caption here';
      const thumb = 'https://themyth92.com/project/ngx-lightbox/demo/img/image' + i + '-thumb.jpg';
      const album = {
         src: src,
         caption: caption,
         thumb: thumb
      };
 
      this._albums.push(album);
    }
  }
 
  open(index: number): void {
    // open lightbox
    this._lightbox.open(this._albums, index);
  }
 
  close(): void {
    // close lightbox programmatically
    this._lightbox.close();
  }
}

5. Here is the code you need to add into your app.component.html file:

<div *ngFor="let image of _albums; let i=index">
  <img [src]="image.thumb" (click)="open(i)" />
</div>

This is it and if you have any kind of query then do comment below.
