Question 1

How do I add a Material Design bottom sheet to my Ionic 4 app?

Accepted Answer

Install @fivethree/core and @angular/animations, then import FivBottomSheetModule into your Angular module. Use the component in your template with properties for actions and menus, as demonstrated in the online demos.

Question 2

Ionic 4 Components vs standard Ionic components: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Use Ionic 4 Components for specific interactions like Twitter galleries or Material pull-to-refresh that Ionic lacks. It complements Ionic's core components but isn't a full replacement for basic UI needs.

Question 3

Can I use this with Ionic React or Vue?

Accepted Answer

No, it's designed only for Ionic with Angular, relying on Angular modules and dependencies. For React or Vue, you'd need to find alternative libraries or build custom solutions.

Question 4

How to customize the image gallery component?

Accepted Answer

Use CSS overrides and the component's input properties to adjust layouts and transitions. The documentation provides examples for tweaking styles to match your app's theme.

Question 5

What happens if I upgrade my app to Ionic 5?

Accepted Answer

The library may break or require manual adjustments, as it's built for Ionic 4. Check the project's GitHub for updates or consider migrating to alternatives compatible with newer versions.

Question 6

Is Ionic 4 Components good for server-side rendering?

Accepted Answer

Likely not, as it depends on client-side animations via @angular/animations, which can complicate SSR setups and may not render correctly without extra configuration.
