Alternative Colorbox modules [#3261738]

This issue centralizes steps, replacement, similar modules for Colorbox-like functionality (Drupal 9 compatible).

Documentation page "Comparison of lightbox-type modules" (NEW)

Feel free to add Lightbox modules you think should be included on the documentation page:

https://www.drupal.org/docs/comparison-of-contributed-modules/comparison...

Accidentally it was added in an extra group, but hopefully it can be moved to the correct position by the admin's at some point.

Baguette

#3244987-55: Plan for Colorbox 8.x-1.8

So I replaced colorbox with baguette as follows:

composer require 'drupal/baguettebox:^1.x-dev'
# Upload the https://github.com/feimosi/baguetteBox.js "dist" folder into "/libraries/baguettebox.js/dist"
# In a view, add the "field html" css class "baguettebox"
# In a view, be sure to enable "add buttons" in the baguettebox options in the field to get a gallery to work

I think the BaguetteBox.js doesn't have the Video support.

I am checking with "Magnific Popup". I think it supports the video. Let's see.

"Magnific Popup" field formatter for File Entity and Image fields. Fields with multiple items (cardinality > 1) can be grouped into a Magnific Popup gallery, or shown individually as a stand-alone popup (no "previous"/"next" navigation options).

View changes

The old Lightbox documentation page Comparison of lightbox-type modules is quite dated, so I have started a fresh page in the new documentation system:

https://www.drupal.org/docs/comparison-of-contributed-modules/comparison...

I accidentally added it in an extra group, but hopefully it can be moved to the correct position by the admin's at some point. Feel free to add any Lightbox modules you think should be on the list :)

I disagree with closing this issue, we need to keep looking and listing valid alternatives.
The colorbox library that is at the base of the colorbox module, looks pretty stable at them moment, but it doesn't look like JS issues are actively followed-up on in the Github repo:
- last changelog update 2016/05/10,
- last github commit was a merge 8 months ago, but no release produced
- 214 issues open
It could break on a new release of jQuery associated with a new release of Drupal. So having usable alternatives listed somewhere would be handy.
