Tinder Swipe Gesture with Ionic Angular

Are you looking to incorporate Tinder-like swipe gestures in your Ionic Angular app? Look no further! In this article, we will show you how to implement swipe gestures in your app using Ionic Angular.

Step 1: Set up Ionic Angular project

First, make sure you have Ionic CLI installed. If not, you can install it by running the following command:

npm install -g @ionic/cli

Then, create a new Ionic Angular project by running the following command:

ionic start myApp blank --type=angular

Step 2: Install HammerJS

Next, we need to install HammerJS, a popular library for adding touch gestures to your website. You can install HammerJS using npm:

npm install hammerjs

Step 3: Implement Tinder-like swipe

Now, let’s implement the Tinder-like swipe gesture in our Ionic Angular app. We will use HammerJS to detect swipe gestures and perform actions based on those gestures.

First, import HammerJS in your app module:

import * as Hammer from 'hammerjs';

Next, we need to initialize HammerJS in our app component:

ngOnInit() {
  const swipe = new Hammer(this.elementRef.nativeElement);
  swipe.get('swipe').set({ direction: Hammer.DIRECTION_ALL });
  swipe.on('swipe', (e) => {
    // Perform actions based on swipe direction
  });
}

With this code, we have set up a swipe gesture listener using HammerJS. Now, based on the swipe direction, you can perform actions such as liking or disliking a card.

Step 4: Source Code

We have provided the complete source code for implementing Tinder-like swipe gestures in your Ionic Angular app. You can find the source code in the description below.

Conclusion

In this article, we have shown you how to implement Tinder-like swipe gestures in your Ionic Angular app. With the help of HammerJS, you can easily detect swipe gestures and perform actions based on them. Go ahead and give it a try in your own app!
