If you need a nice, professional library, please use photoswipe.js

It consists of a modal that will help you make gallery preview modal. Last tested with Ionic 3.13.0

• View live example
• Fork example repository

Install it using npm

npm install ionic-gallery-modal --save

and then, within your application module

import * as ionicGalleryModal from 'ionic-gallery-modal';
import { HAMMER_GESTURE_CONFIG } from '@angular/platform-browser';

and add the GalleryModalModule to your imports

imports: [
  //...
  ionicGalleryModal.GalleryModalModule,
  //...
],

and to your providers

providers: [
  //...
  {
    provide: HAMMER_GESTURE_CONFIG,
    useClass: ionicGalleryModal.GalleryModalHammerConfig,
  },
  //...
],

To open the module just use the Ionic ModalController

import { ModalController } from 'ionic-angular';
import { GalleryModal } from 'ionic-gallery-modal';

let modal = this.modalCtrl.create(GalleryModal, {
  photos: photos,
  initialSlide: index
});
modal.present();

The possible options for it are:

{
  photos: Array[{ 
    url: string, 
    type: string,
  }],
  closeIcon: string,
  initialSlide: number,
}
