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 informations 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;
};
