ngx-viewer 🔎

This is a simple Angular 8 directive wrapping the amazing Viewer.js library.

Installation

Add both this library and the original Viewer.js library as dependencies to your project:

yarn add ngx-viewer viewerjs

Import the module into your application's app.module.ts:

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

// import ngx-viewer module
import { NgxViewerModule } from 'ngx-viewer';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    NgxViewerModule // add ngx-viewer module here
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Finally, you'll need to import the styles for Viewer.js somehow, for example in your base styles.(s)css:

@import '~viewerjs/dist/viewer.css';

Basic usage

The ngxViewer directive can be added to a container wrapping multiple images, or to an individual image. The default Viewer.js configuration options will be used.

Single image

<img src="https://picsum.photos/2000/1500" ngxViewer>

Multiple images (gallery)

<div ngxViewer>
  <img src="https://picsum.photos/2000/1500/?random=1" alt="Image 1">
  <img src="https://picsum.photos/2000/1500/?random=2" alt="Image 2">
  <img src="https://picsum.photos/2000/1500/?random=3" alt="Image 3">
</div>

Options

All options exposed by Viewer.js can be set for this directive using [viewerOptions]:

Template file (HTML)

<img src="https://picsum.photos/2000/1500" ngxViewer [viewerOptions]="viewerOptions">

Component file (TS)

public viewerOptions: any = {
  navbar: false,
  toolbar: {
    zoomIn: 4,
    zoomOut: 4,
    oneToOne: 4,
    reset: 4,
    prev: 4,
    play: {
      show: 4,
      size: 'large',
    },
    next: 4,
    rotateLeft: 4,
    rotateRight: 4,
    flipHorizontal: 4,
    flipVertical: 4,
  }
};

Note: The Viewer.js defaults are always used as standard, with the exception of the transition option.

Events

All events exposed by Viewer.js are made available by the directive as output bindings:

<img src="https://picsum.photos/2000/1500" ngxViewer (viewerReady)="onViewerReady($event)">

The available events are:

• viewerReady
• viewerShow
• viewerShown
• viewerHide
• viewerHidden
• viewerView
• viewerViewed
• viewerZoom
• viewerZoomed

See Viewer.js' docs for more information on each event.

Transitions

There's a known issue with the Viewer.js transitions that are normally enabled by default. They work fine in development but break (without errors) whenever building with optimizations active (i.e building for production). To get around this, the directive disables transitions by default. If you want to re-enable them (if, for some reason, you aren't running optimizations as part of your production builds) you can set transition: true in your viewerOptions.

See this issue.
