Tinder 5 (Tabbed view)

Created on Oct 19, 2020

Introduction

It's Tinder UI again with Tabbed View. I saw Tinder doing A/B Testing for their new Tabbed View layout since last year and I made Tinder UI 2020 (Tinder 4) back then. They seem to make it official now (Oct 2020) and I think "Let's make an Ionic 5 version out of it!"

I'm an UI/UX lover. I see nice UI, I clone. That's all!

I always take it serious to keep the code quality high, with clean and self-explained 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

Preview

Run locally

1.Install Ionic environment

$ npm install -g @ionic/cli@6.12.0

2.After purchasing, download the zip file containing the entire demo app and unzip

3.Go inside the extracted folder

4.Install all dependencies

$ npm install

5.Start local server

$ ionic serve

6.Your default browser should now automatically open the template

Notes

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

:root {
  /** primary **/
  --ion-color-primary: #fd5068;
  --ion-color-primary-rgb: 253,80,104;
  --ion-color-primary-contrast: #ffffff;
  --ion-color-primary-contrast-rgb: 0,0,0;
  --ion-color-primary-shade: #df465c;
  --ion-color-primary-tint: #fd6277;
  ...

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

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

3.Dependencies

npm install --save angular2-swing lodash

4.Fix angular-2-swing

# polyfills.ts
/***************************************************************************************************
 * APPLICATION IMPORTS
 */
 (window as any).global = window;

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
