Consolidate code for MediaViewer across desktop and mobile
Open, MediumPublic
Actions

Description

Desktop and mobile use different implementations for displaying a lightbox when images are clicked.
There is lots of user value e.g. performance/functionality to consolidating these two experiences.

Pros of desktop version compared to mobile

  • Has support for 3d images

Cons of desktop version compare

  • ~100KB of code (minified, decompressed). Mobile uses ~5KB

Cons of both

  • Desktop built in OOUI library (rather than Codex)
  • Mobile uses non-standard MobileFrontend library (rather than Codex)

Benefits of consolidating the two experiences

  • One less unmaintained extension in our deployed servers
  • More functionality to mobile users
  • better frontend performance for desktop users

If we want to add things like 3d support to the mobile experience this work should be prioritised and the mediaviewer inside MobileFrontend should be removed. Ideally, we should not have to support two experiences for viewing media files.
