Swipebox for Rails

Swipebox | A touchable jQuery lightbox for the Rails asset pipeline

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'swipebox'

Usage

In your CSS manifest file:

*= require swipebox

In your JavaScript manifest file:

//= require swipebox

Use a specific class for your links and use the title attribute as caption.

<a href="big/image.jpg" class="swipebox" title="My Caption">

Bind the swipebox behaviour on every link with the 'swipebox' class.

$('.swipebox').swipebox();

Look at the original Swipebox repo for more.

I have modified source a bit from the 1.4.4 version:

• SCSS instead of CSS because we need the image-url helpers
• .png -> .svg via class not hardcoded image path
