Question 1

How do I add captions to images in baguetteBox.js?

Question 2

baguetteBox.js vs Fancybox: which is better for my project?

Accepted Answer

baguetteBox.js is lighter and dependency-free, ideal for simple image galleries. Fancybox offers more features like video support and advanced animations but is larger and may require jQuery. Choose based on your need for simplicity versus feature richness.

Question 3

Can I use baguetteBox.js with React or Vue?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires manual DOM integration since it's vanilla JS. You might need to create a wrapper component or use lifecycle methods to initialize and destroy it, which adds complexity compared to native framework libraries.

Question 4

How to enable full-screen mode in baguetteBox.js?

Accepted Answer

Set the fullScreen option to true in the configuration object when calling baguetteBox.run(). This allows images to be viewed in full-screen on supported browsers, though it's disabled by default.

Question 5

Is baguetteBox.js accessible for screen readers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's built with accessibility in mind, including keyboard navigation and ARIA considerations. However, for strict compliance, you may need to verify specific implementations based on your site's requirements.

Question 6

What browsers does baguetteBox.js support?

Accepted Answer

It supports IE 8+, Chrome, Firefox 3.6+, Opera 12+, Safari 5+, and mobile browsers like iOS Safari and Android Chrome, as listed in the compatibility section of the README.
