GLightbox

Pure JavaScript lightbox that shows images, videos, iframes and inline content.

GLightbox is a pure JavaScript lightbox for images, videos, iframes and inline content. Its documentation is in the repository’s README, and the project’s demo page shows the lightbox in use. The homepage says the library can be used with Node.js.

Worth knowing

Video playback uses the Plyr player, which GLightbox injects only when a slide needs it and the lightbox is open.
