LazyBox

Lazybox is a jQuery-based, lightbox that can display entire remote pages, images and confirmation dialogs. Replace standard rails confirmations with lazybox just added several rows to your project. Use lazybox with rails assets pipeline.

LazyBox implemented using only css and jquery without images. This is high perfomance modal dialogs. All unpacked files take only 5 kb. This is simplest solution for popup windows and custom confirmation dialogs.

Installing

Add it to your Gemfile:

gem 'lazybox'

Then run bundle install to update your application's bundle.

Include in your application.css:

 *= require lazybox

And in application.js:

//= require lazybox

Usage

Remote pages

Usual remote link:

- link_to 'Lazybox', new_model_path, remote: true

In your controller:

def new
  @model = Model.new
end

def create
  @model = Model.new(params[:model])
  render action: :new unless @model.save
end

new.js.haml

$.lazybox("#{j(render partial: 'form')}");

create.js.haml

$.lazybox.close()
window.location.reload()

Confirmations

You can replace standard rails confirmations with lazybox

And in application.js:

$.rails.allowAction = $.lazybox.confirm;

for options use global lazybox settings:

$.lazybox.settings = {cancelClass: "button gray", submitClass: 'button gray', overlay: false}

or instance settings

$.lazybox("<div>It works!</div>",{onTop: true, opacity: 0.7, modal: false})

Images

- link_to 'Image', image.url, rel: :lazybox

Include in your app/assets/javascripts/application.js:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('a[rel*=lazybox]').lazybox();
  // or with options
  $('a[rel*=lazybox]').lazybox({overlay: true, esc: true, close: true, modal: true, klass: 'class'});
});

If there are more than one link to image you can click on image in the lazybox to show the next one (version < 0.2.6)

= link_to image.url, rel: :lazybox do
  = image_tag image.url, height: 100
= link_to image2.url, rel: :lazybox do
  = image_tag image2.url, height: 100

Custom close image

Set 'closeImg' option to true.

application.js:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('.images a').lazybox({closeImg: true});
});

Style your close:

application.css

#lazybox_close.img {
  background: url('close.png') no-repeat;
  width: 32px;
  height: 32px;
  top: -17px;
  right: -17px;
}

We can use lazybox with turbolinks to show page loading spinner:

  $(document).on 'page:fetch', -> $.lazybox("<i class='icon-orange'></i>", { klass: 'spinner', close: false, esc: false })

#lazybox.spinner {
  background: transparent;
  border: none;
  box-shadow: none;
}

Turbolinks spinner

  $(document).on 'page:fetch', -> $.lazybox("<i class='fa fa-spinner fa-spin'>", { klass: 'spinner', close: false, esc: false })
  $(document).on 'page:change', -> $.lazybox.close()

  #lazybox.spinner {
    background: transparent;
    box-shadow: none;
    .fa-spinner { font-size: 128px; }
  }
