Friends now I proceed onwards and here is the working code snippet for Reactjs Image Gallery Lightbox with Next Prev Button and please use this carefully to avoid the mistakes:

1. Firstly friends we need fresh reactjs setup and for that we need to run below commands into our terminal and also w should have latest node version installed on our system:

Guys you can skip this first step if you already have reactjs fresh setup:

npx create-react-app reactimagegallery

cd reactimagegallery

npm start // run the project

 

2. Finally friends we need to add below code into our src/App.js file to get final output on web browser:

import './App.css';

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Therichpost.com</h1>
      <div class="gallery-wrapper">
     
        <div class="image-wrapper">
          <a href="#lightbox-image-1">
            <img src="assets/photo1small.jfif" alt="" />
            <div class="image-title">Cat staring at me</div>
          </a>
        </div>
        <div class="image-wrapper">
          <a href="#lightbox-image-2">
            <img src="assets/photo2small.jfif" alt="" />
            <div class="image-title">Cat playing with mouse</div>
          </a>
        </div>
        <div class="image-wrapper">
          <a href="#lightbox-image-3">
            <img src="assets/photo3small.jfif" alt="" />
            <div class="image-title">Cat turns away</div>
          </a>
        </div>
      </div>

      <div class="gallery-lightboxes">
        
        <div class="image-lightbox" id="lightbox-image-1">
          <div class="image-lightbox-wrapper">
            <a href="#" class="close"></a>
            <a href="#lightbox-image-3" class="arrow-left"></a>
            <a href="#lightbox-image-2" class="arrow-right"></a>
            <img src="assets/photo1big.jfif" alt="" />
            <div class="image-title">Cat staring at me</div>
          </div>
        </div>
        
        <div class="image-lightbox" id="lightbox-image-2">
          <div class="image-lightbox-wrapper">
            <a href="#" class="close"></a>
            <a href="#lightbox-image-1" class="arrow-left"></a>
            <a href="#lightbox-image-3" class="arrow-right"></a>
            <img src="assets/photo2big.jfif" alt="" />
            <div class="image-title">Cat playing with mouse</div>
          </div>
        </div>
        
        <div class="image-lightbox" id="lightbox-image-3">
          <div class="image-lightbox-wrapper">
            <a href="#" class="close"></a>
            <a href="#lightbox-image-2" class="arrow-left"></a>
            <a href="#lightbox-image-1" class="arrow-right"></a>
            <img src="assets/photo3big.jfif" alt="" />
            <div class="image-title">Cat turns away</div>
          </div>
        </div>
        
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

 

3. In the end friends we need to add below code into our src/App.csc file:
