## Getting Started

### Installation

```shell
npm install viewerjs
```

In the browser:

```html
<link href="/path/to/viewer.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="/path/to/viewer.js"></script>
```

The [cdnjs](https://github.com/cdnjs/cdnjs) project provides CDN support for Viewer.js CSS and JavaScript. You can find the links [here](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/viewerjs).

### Usage

#### Syntax

```js
new Viewer(element[, options])
```

- **element**
  - Type: `HTMLElement`
  - The target image, or a container of images, to view.

- **options** (optional)
  - Type: `Object`
  - The configuration options. Check out the available [options](#options).

Alternatively, you may use `Viewer.create(element[, options])`.

#### Example

```html
<!-- a block container is required -->
<div>
  <img id="image" src="picture.jpg" alt="Picture">
</div>

<div>
  <ul id="images">
    <li><img src="picture-1.jpg" alt="Picture 1"></li>
    <li><img src="picture-2.jpg" alt="Picture 2"></li>
    <li><img src="picture-3.jpg" alt="Picture 3"></li>
  </ul>
</div>
```

```js
// You should import the CSS file.
// import 'viewerjs/dist/viewer.css';
import Viewer from 'viewerjs';

// View an image.
const viewer = new Viewer(document.getElementById('image'), {
  inline: true,
  viewed() {
    viewer.zoomTo(1);
  },
});
// Then show the image by clicking it, or call `viewer.show()`.

// View a list of images.
// Note: all images within the container will be found by calling `element.querySelectorAll('img')`.
const gallery = new Viewer(document.getElementById('images'));
// Then show one image by clicking it, or call `gallery.show()`.
```

```

### zoomTo(ratio[, showTooltip[, pivot]])

- **ratio**:
  - Type: `Number`
  - Requires a positive number (ratio > 0)

- **showTooltip** (optional):
  - Type: `Boolean`
  - Default: `false`
  - Indicates whether to show the tooltip.

- **pivot** (optional):
  - Type: `Object`
  - Default: `null`
  - Schema: `{ x: Number, y: Number }`
  - The pivot point coordinate for zooming.

Zoom the image to an absolute ratio.

```js
viewer.zoomTo(0); // Zoom to zero size (0%)
viewer.zoomTo(1); // Zoom to natural size (100%)

// Zoom to 50% from the center of the window.
viewer.zoomTo(0.5, false, {
  x: window.innerWidth / 2,
  y: window.innerHeight / 2,
});
```

### play([fullscreen])

- **fullscreen** (optional):
  - Type: `Boolean` or [`FullscreenOptions`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FullscreenOptions)
  - Default: `false`
  - Indicates whether to request fullscreen.

Play the images.

### stop()

Stop play.

### full()

Enter the modal mode.

> Only available in inline mode.

### exit()

Exit the modal mode.

> Only available in inline mode.

### tooltip()

Show the current ratio of the image by percentage.

> Requires the `tooltip` option set to `true`.

### toggle()

Toggle the image size between its current size and natural size.

> Used by the [`toggleOnDblclick`](#toggleOnDblclick) option.

### reset()

Reset the image to its initial state.

### update([options])

Update the viewer instance when the source images changed (added, removed, or sorted), or update the options while the viewer is open.

> If you load images dynamically (with XMLHTTPRequest), you can use this method to add the new images to the viewer instance.

```js
viewer.update({
  slideOnTouch: false,
});
```

### destroy()

Destroy the viewer and remove the instance.

## Static Methods

### create(element[, options])

Create a new `Viewer` instance without using the `new` operator.

```js
const viewer = Viewer.create(image, {
  inline: true,
});
```

### setDefaults(options)

Change the global default options for subsequently created `Viewer` instances. Instance options override these defaults.

```js
Viewer.setDefaults({
  inline: true,
});
```

### noConflict

If you have to use another viewer with the same namespace, call the `Viewer.noConflict` static method to revert to it.

```html
<script src="other-viewer.js"></script>
<script src="viewer.js"></script>
<script>
  Viewer.noConflict();
  // Code that uses other `Viewer` can follow here.
</script>
```

```js
let viewer;

image.addEventListener('viewed', function () {
  console.log(this.viewer === viewer);

});

viewer = new Viewer(image);
