eleventy-plugin-img-magnifier : zoom image to fullscreen
Enlarge images and create a lightbox to view fullscreen. When hovering an img, the cursor is changed as a magnifying glass to indicates to the user that the img can be enlarged. A click and the img appears enlarged, through a fade-in animation and the background get darker. A click outside the image quit the enlarged view.
You have nothing particular to do, the plugin automatically handle your existing images
Installation
npm install eleventy-plugin-img-magnifierThen register it in your config .eleventy.js file :
import imgMagnifier from "eleventy-plugin-img-magnifier"
export default function(eleventyConfig) {
eleventyConfig.addPlugin(imgMagnifier)
}Place the {% imgmagnifier %} shortcode on your desired pages/templates in the <head>of your HTML file
How does it work ?
When the image is clicked, a js script loads and dynamically inserts a <dialog> HTML modal right before the image in its container. When the outside of the modal is clicked the dialog automatically disappears.
The overall is styled and transitioned via native CSS @starting-style rule and <dialog> targeting.
Now supporting :
- native light dismiss
- keyboard navigation (ESC to close)
Progressive enhancement
New <dialog> closedby="any" attribute allows to light dismiss the element without any JS (was not possible on <dialog> until May 2025). Still keeping the JS function that allows legacy closing till Baseline.
Requirements
It's based on ESM so Eleventy 3.0 minimum is required.
