Change imageCaption on click to next -React-image-lightbox


I am making a gallery using "react-image-lightbox". First I display the images using Grid from Material-Ui and then follows documentation from https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-image-lightbox However, I cannot change the imagecaption accordingly onclick on the next or previous. Any lead on how I can solve that part??

import img1 from "../../Image/Process/image1.jpg";
import img2 from "../../Image/Process/image2.jpg";
import img3 from "../../Image/Process/image3.jpg";

const images = [img1, img2, img3];

class GalleryPage extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.state = {
      photoIndex: 0,
      isOpen: false,
      caption: null
    };
  }

  render() {
    const { photoIndex, isOpen, caption } = this.state;
    return (
      <div className="gallery-section" id="gallery">
        <div className="mdb-lightbox">
          <Grid container direction="row" justify="center" alignItems="center">
            <Grid container item xs={3} spacing={1}>

                  alt="Working day"
                  className="img-fluid"
                  onClick={() =>
                    this.setState({
                      photoIndex: 0,
                      isOpen: true,
                      caption:
                        "A regular work day, Photo: Nahida Islam, license: CC0"
                    })
                  }

Solution

  • Check out the example code on the react-image-lightbox Github. You just need another array of captions, similar to your image array. Then use your photoIndex value to get the correct caption. Something like this - I only changed the imageCaption prop so I just removed the others to illustrate that:

    const captions = [
        "caption one", "caption two", "last caption"
    ]
    
    {isOpen && (
      <Lightbox
        imageCaption={captions[photoIndex]}
      />
    )}
