Installation

You can install chocolat as a node module
(css from node_modules has to be linked in your html file anyway)

yarn add chocolat

or

npm install chocolat

Or the old school way by linking dist/js/jquery.chocolat.js and dist/css/chocolat.css to your html file

Markup


<div id="example1" data-chocolat-title="Set title">
    <a class="chocolat-image" href="img/a.jpg" title="image caption a">
        A <!-- you can display a thumbnail here : <img src="thumb/a.jpg" /> -->
    </a>
    <a class="chocolat-image" href="img/b.jpg" title="image caption b">
        B <!-- you can display a thumbnail here : <img src="thumb/b.jpg" /> -->
    </a>
</div>
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#example1').Chocolat();
});
