π Extending Controller
You can use inheritance to extend the functionality of any Stimulus component:
import Lightbox from 'stimulus-lightbox'
export default class extends Lightbox {
connect() {
super.connect()
console.log('Do what you want here.')
// Get the lightgallery instance
this.lightGallery
// Default options for every lightboxes.
this.defaultOptions
}
// You can set default options in this getter.
get defaultOptions() {
return {
// Your default options here
}
}
}
This controller will automatically have access to targets defined in the parent class.
If you override the connect
, disconnect
or any other methods from the parent, you'll
want to call super.method()
to make sure the parent functionality is executed.
