Lazy_Gallery.js

Lazy Gallery is a small js framework designed to quickly create one or more lazy loading slideshows

.Net Support to fetch automatically all images from specific folders

Features!

• Autoplay Slideshow
• Change image with arrows
• Change image with Carousel
• Lazy Loaded ;)

You can also:

• Fully modify the script as you wish
• Multiple Slideshows supported

Installation

• Download lazy_gallery.js to the js folder of your project

• Add following scripts just before closing body tag

  <script src="~/js/lazy_gallery.js"></script>
    <script>
        Lazy(image-paths);
    </script>

You can call Lazy() at each moment to fill the carousels and create the event handlers In my example I call it in my view where i also give the array with the paths of my images

If you want to hardcode the paths of the images Go to the js Part

Usage

HTML CSS part

Use next Structure for each Slideshow

---

<!-- Don't change the class names and id's -->

  <div class="sliderFrame">
     <div id="slider" class="flexslider">
          <img class="arrowL" src="img/arrowLeft.png">
          <img class="arrowR" src="img/arrowRight.png">
          <div class="slide">
              <!-- This is the main image that is shown -->
               <img src=""> 
          </div>
    </div>
    <div class="carrousel">
          <div class="slides">
 <!-- Our script wil fill this div with all the images for this slideshow -->
          </div>
     </div>
  </div>

You can also use my css to get the same result as on the pictures lazy_gallery.css

JS part

• Chose how much slideshows you will use by changing the next variable in lazy_gallery.js

let numberOfSliders = ?;

• Give the image paths to the Lazy() function

1. First option is to hardcode the paths like this, do it in the lazy_gallery.js file

If you hardcode the paths use next var structure and delete the parameter in Lazy() function

let images = [
  "/img/img1.jpg"
  ,"/img/img2.jpg"
  ,"/img/img3.jpg"
  ,"/img/img4.jpg"]
  
//if you are using multiple slideshows

let images = [
// Slideshow 1 paths

  [ "/img/img1.jpg"
  ,"/img/img2.jpg"
  ,"/img/img3.jpg"
  ,"/img/img4.jpg"],

// Slideshow 2 paths

  ["/img/img8.jpg"
  ,"/img/img9.jpg"
  ,"/img/img10.jpg"
  ,"/img/img11.jpg"]
  ]

2. Second option is to give the paths from your back-end server // Example in .Net

   1. Make for each slideshow a folder in your images folder and fill it with your images
   2. Get all images from your folders and send it to your view

   Example of the method I use

    public IActionResult Index()
       {
           int numberOfSlideshows = 2;
           String[][] paths = new String[numberOfSlideshows][];
           //Slideshow 1
           String[] cat1 = new DirectoryInfo("wwwroot/img/Doors").GetFiles().Select(f =>  f.ToString().
           Substring(f.ToString().LastIndexOf("\\img"))).ToArray();
           paths[0] = cat1;
   
           //Slideshow 2
           var cat2 = new DirectoryInfo("wwwroot/img/Windows").GetFiles().Select(f => f.ToString().
           Substring(f.ToString().LastIndexOf("\\img"))).ToArray();
           paths[1] = cat2;
   
      
   
           return View(paths);
       }

   3. Convert your model to a js array in your view

   @model String[][]
   @{
      var image-paths = @Html.Raw(Json.Serialize(Model));
      }

   4. Call Lazy(image-paths);

   I do it when closing the body tag

     <script>
        Lazy(@image-paths);
    </script>

Congratulations your slideshows are ready !
