  • Design Systems with Web Components
    5 projects | dev.to | 18 Dec 2023
    I was recently able to sit down with some of the core members of Ionic, who also created Stencil a toolchain for building Design Systems and Progressive Web Apps. We talked at great length how typically companies are approaching Ionic from a Design Team and need help building components. As a developer I wanted to talk about the Web Components that are used within the Design System first. There was a decent amount of surprise, so I thought I would break down what a Design System is and why it doesn't matter which end you start with, as long as you have both your Design and Development teams working together to build your Design System.

  • Ionic Vue tabs navigation broken
    1 project | /r/vuejs | 18 Aug 2023
    Ionic Vue tabs navigation when using with child views inside of tabs is broken. The problem is that navigation(routing) using the tabs should be non-linear, but Ionic Vue has an issue with preserving the history track for each of the tabs. The issue is described there. Is there a way to make a non-linear routing stack in Ionic Vue?
