Create a custom tinder-like validation view

This example shows you how you can implement a time-saving profile validation view using keyboard keys to trigger approve/reject actions.

In our example, we want to Approve or Reject new customers profiles and more specifically:

• We want to preview information from the user's profile

• We want to approve a customer by pressing the ArrowRight key

• We want to reject a customer by pressing the ArrowLeft key

How it works

Models definition

Here is the definition of the underlying model for this view

module.exports = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
  const { Sequelize } = sequelize;
  const customerValidations = sequelize.define(
    'customerValidations',
    {
      firstname: {
        type: DataTypes.STRING,
      },
      lastname: {
        type: DataTypes.STRING,
      },
      email: {
        type: DataTypes.STRING,
      },
      createdAt: {
        type: DataTypes.DATE,
      },
      status: {
        type: DataTypes.STRING,
      },
      avatar: {
        type: DataTypes.STRING,
      },
    },
    {
      tableName: 'customers',
      underscored: true,
      schema: process.env.DATABASE_SCHEMA,
    }
  );

  return customerValidations;
};
