    for (let i = 1; i <= 4; i++) {
      const src = 'demo/img/image' + i + '.jpg';
      const caption = 'Image ' + i + ' caption here';
      const thumb = 'demo/img/image' + i + '-thumb.jpg';
      const album = {
         src: src,
         caption: caption,
         thumb: thumb
      };

      this._albums.push(album);

import { LightboxEvent, LIGHTBOX_EVENT } from 'angular2-lightbox';
import { Subscription } from 'rxjs/Subscription';

export class AppComponent {
  private _subscription: Subscription;
  constructor(private _lightboxEvent: LightboxEvent) {}
  open(index: number): void {
    // register your subscription and callback whe open lightbox is fired
    this._subscription = this._lightboxEvent.lightboxEvent$
      .subscribe(event => this._onReceivedEvent(event));
  }

  private _onReceivedEvent(event: any): void {
    // remember to unsubscribe the event when lightbox is closed
    if (event.id === LIGHTBOX_EVENT.CLOSE) {
      // event CLOSED is fired
      this._subscription.unsubscribe();
    }

    if (event.id === LIGHTBOX_EVENT.OPEN) {
      // event OPEN is fired
    }

    if (event.id === LIGHTBOX_EVENT.CHANGE_PAGE) {
      // event change page is fired
      console.log(event.data); // -> image index that lightbox is switched to
    }
  }
}
