Upgrading jQuery lightGallery in the Framework

Upgrading jQuery lightGallery in the Framework

When a new version of lightGallery is available, the update will not automatically be pulled into the framework. This should be a deliberate action with proper testing. lightGallery is controlled with Grunt. Here are the steps to update lightGallery and lightGallery thumbnail in the framework:

1. Check for a package update

npm update lightgallery lg-thumbnail

What this does: Checks if the lightgallery and lg-thumbnail packages have an available update and installs it.

2. Upgrade lightGallery using Grunt

grunt update_lightgallery

What this does:

• Copies the new distributions of lightGallery and lg-thumbnail into the js/vendor folder.

3. Commit Changed Files

There are two directories that will need all changes committed:

• js/vendor/lg-thumbnail
• js/vendor/lightgallery

There are two files that may contain changes:

• package.json (if the grunt-modernizr package has an update).
• package-lock.json (if the grunt-modernizr package has an update).
• functions.php (the version constants will be changed).
