Chocolat is a lightweight, responsive JavaScript lightbox plugin for displaying one or several images on the same page, either fullscreen, fullwindow, or inside a container block. It offers an API, CSS classes, keyboard navigation, and custom breakpoints, weighing only ~10kb minified.

Use cases

• display image galleries in a lightbox overlay
• open images fullscreen or within a page container
• build responsive thumbnail galleries that open full-size images
• add keyboard-navigable image viewers to a website
• group a series of pictures as links or thumbnails

When to choose

• you need a small, dependency-light lightbox in vanilla JavaScript
• you want images to open in a container block rather than only fullscreen
• you need responsive behavior with custom breakpoints across desktop, tablet, and mobile

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured gallery with video or iframe support
• your stack requires a framework-specific component (React/Vue) rather than a DOM plugin
• you need actively developed features; the project is mostly in maintenance
