Tinder UI 4

Created on Mar 13, 2019

Introduction

This is my very first theme written on Ionic 4. Shadow DOM is tough, I've been there, believe me, and I'm here to bring the best of what I've learned to you guys.

Tinder is a location-based dating and social discovery application that facilitates communication between mutually interested users, allowing matched users to chat. Tinder is famous for its swipping card UI, which is later implemented in some other popular mobile apps e.g Fancy

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

$ npm install

Notes

1.Modify the default theme colors to match Tinder's colors in src/theme/variables.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: '',
    }),
    ...

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
