Introduction

Pinterest is a visual discovery tool that you can use to find ideas for all your projects and interests. Pinterest has always been my top favorite app when it comes to UI/UX design. That might be a big part of their successful IPO at $12.7bn in April 2019.

I always take it serious to keep the code quality high, with clean and self-explained code. When purchasing this, you also get my latest "helper" snippets inside the package to make it more fun to code.

What's in the package

• Ionic Project source code: based on the folder structure generated with Ionic CLI
• No Backend code: this is just the UI, not a fully functional app. Data is mostly static dummy unless mentioned, e.g GIF search uses the real Giphy API

Notes

1.Modify the default theme colors to match Pinterest's colors in src/sass/variables.override.scss

:root {
  /** primary **/
  --ion-color-primary: #e60023;
  --ion-color-primary-rgb: 230,0,35;
  --ion-color-primary-contrast: #ffffff;
  --ion-color-primary-contrast-rgb: 255,255,255;
  --ion-color-primary-shade: #ca001f;
  --ion-color-primary-tint: #e91a39;
  ...

2.I personally like the look of the app on iOS so I forced the theme to iOS mode. You can change that configuration to suit your need

# in src/app/app.module.ts
    IonicModule.forRoot({
      mode: 'ios',
      backButtonText: '',
    }),
    ...

Build with capacitor

First of all, make sure that you can Run Locally (see the instruction above).

# build web asset (to folder www)
$ ionic build

# add platform (ios or android)
$ ionic capacitor add ios

# prepare app icons and splash images
$ npm run resources

# copy web assets into the native project
$ ionic capacitor copy ios

# open Xcode, then build the native app from there
$ ionic capacitor open ios

# OR run in live-reload mode
$ ionic capacitor run ios -l --external
