ZOOM.JS

A simple jQuery plugin for image zooming; as seen on Medium.

Demo

https://fat.github.io/zoom.js

How

1. Link the zoom.js and zoom.css files to your site or application.

   <link href="css/zoom.css" rel="stylesheet">

   <script src="js/zoom.js">

2. zoom.js is dependent on transition.js file from Bootstrap, so make sure to include that as well.

   <script src="js/transition.js">

3. Add a data-action="zoom" attribute to the images you want to make zoomable. For example:

   <img src="img/blog_post_featured.png" data-action="zoom">

Why

It's the best way to zoom an image. It transitions/zooms in really smoothly, and then when you're done, scrolls away, [esc] keys away, clicks away… clean af.

Also, now if you hold your meta key (⌘), it will open in a new tab. wow.

Where

zoom.js should (in theory) work in all relevant browsers. If not, create an issue! Thanks!
