CoverPop.js is a lightweight lightbox’y modal plugin with cookie integration. Style agnostic and responsive friendly.
If you are trying to show up a lightbox popup to first time visitors that is easily styleable and has cookie integration, this is for you.
If you are trying to show a lightbox image when someone clicks on an internal link, this isn’t for you.
CoverPop is an extension of code that we frequently found ourselves using on political campaign websites for email signups with first time visitors. We needed something that was customizable to the point that we could use it how we wanted without it getting in the way.
#CoverPop-cover is used on the full window cover.
By default, a click on any element with .CoverPop-close will close the popup. CoverPop adds preventDefault()to elements with this class.
If you wish to continue with the default action, but also hide the popup, add .CoverPop-close-go. This is particularly useful for form submissions that are sent to another page.

Include the plugin css file:
| 1 | <link rel=“stylesheet“ href=“css/CoverPop.css“> |
CoverPop does not use jQuery, so the only file that needs to be included is CoverPop.js.
Start CoverPop with the default settings:
| 1 | CoverPop.start(); |
CoverPop can be customized in numerous ways. Just pass an object to the start function with what you want to change. The start function is an alias for init.
