Step-by-step guide and a simple demo on how to use PhotoSwipe in Angular 4+ project

Notes:

No tests has been made on angular 2+ project, but instructions should be the same
If you have any question, consult the demo project or open an issue
Demo project include a reusable PhotoSwipe wrapper in the form of an angular 2+ component

Steps:

Create a new angular 2+ project. If you are using Angular CLI, just run this command in command line:
```
   ng new YOUR_PROJECT_NAME
```
Install PhotoSwipe via NPM by running this command:
```
    npm install photoswipe
```

In your component, import photoSwipe:

    import PhotoSwipe from 'photoswipe';
    import PhotoSwipeUI_Default from 'photoswipe/dist/photoswipe-ui-default';

To open a gallery, simply initialize the PhotoSwipe() class, then call the .init() function, ie.

<a (click)="onClick()" href="#">Open Slideshow</a>

    onClick()
    {
        // Build gallery images array
        images = [
            { src: 'http://via.placeholder.com/600x400', w: 600, h: 400 },
            { src: 'http://via.placeholder.com/800x600', w: 800, h: 600 },
            // ...
        ];

        // define options (if needed)
        const options = {
            // optionName: 'option value'
            // for example:
            index: 0 // start at first slide
        };

        // Initializes and opens PhotoSwipe
        const gallery = new PhotoSwipe(this.photoSwipe.nativeElement, PhotoSwipeUI_Default, images, options);
        gallery.init();
    }
