Description:

DimBox.js is a lightweight yet powerful and customizable JavaScript popup library for creating stunning modals & lightboxes on your website.

It supports a variety of content types, including images, galleries, HTML5/YouTube/Vimeo videos, iframe content, AJAX content, inline content, and much more.

How to use it:

1. Install and import the DimBox.js library.

# NPM
$ npm i dimbox

// ES Module
import dimbox from 'dimbox';

// Browser
