Ionic 3 + Angular 4 Modules (25+ modules)

Angular 4 + Ionic 3 Modules help organize an application into cohesive blocks of functionality.

An Angular Module is a class adorned with the @NgModule decorator function. @NgModule takes a metadata object that tells Angular how to compile and run module code. It identifies the module's own components, directives and pipes, making some of them public so external components can use them.

Modules: IonicModule, SharedModule, HomeModule, TabsModule, GoogleMapsModule, WordpressModule, SlidesModule, GridModule, SettingsModule, FeedsModule, YoutubeModule, AboutModule, ContactModule, DatetimeModule, RangesModule, ActionSheetModule, BarcodeScannerModule, PlaceholderModule

Multiple Languages (i18n)

Split Pane integration

SplitPane is a component that makes it possible to create multi-view layout. Similar to iPad apps, SplitPane allows UI elements, like Menus, to be displayed as the viewport increases.

If the devices screen size is below a certain size, the SplitPane will collapse and the menu will become hidden again. This is especially useful when creating an app that will be served over a browser or deployed through the app store to phones and tablets.
