LightGallery.js's license has a commercial license:

lightGallery.js is a free and open-source library, however, if you are using the library for business, commercial sites, projects, and applications, the Commercial license is the appropriate license. With this option, your source code is kept proprietary.

Would be nice if stimulus-lightbox had something everyone could use instead.

Using ESBuild with import 'lightgallery/css/lightgallery.css'

Also happens with .ttf, .svg, and other assets referenced in the lightgallery css.

using rails 7 with stimulus and I'm not able to load the css in the application.js with

import 'lightgallery/css/lightgallery.css' 

due to error

Uncaught TypeError: Failed to resolve module specifier "lightgallery/css/lightgallery.css". Relative references must start with either "/", "./", or "../".

as indicated in https://www.stimulus-components.com/docs/stimulus-lightbox/ under usage section

Currently the lightgallery is initialized in the connect method:

  connect() {
    lightGallery(this.element, __spreadValues(__spreadValues({}, this.defaultOptions), this.optionsValue));
  }

and as far as I can see, there isn't a possibility to call a method of this instance (e.g. openGallery triggered by a click event) when extending the Lightbox controller class.

Is there anything I don't see? Would it be possible and make sense, to get access to the lightgallery instance via a variable or getter method?

hi

Can we load modules like

import lgThumbnail from 'lightgallery/plugins/thumbnail'
import lgZoom from 'lightgallery/plugins/zoom'

I know they deserve being paid for their hard work, but it doesn't hurt to let people know before they add the component to their project.

I've tried to extend the stimulus component to load the needed lightgalleryjs video plugin to show YouTube videos. However, I can't get that working. Could you add an example in the documentation on how to do this? Thank you! Love your work Guillaume!
