Ionic Splash Screen

The splash screen is the first screen that users see when they launch an app. It provides an opportunity to showcase the app's branding and set the tone for the user experience. In Ionic, the splash screen can be easily customized using the Splash Screen plugin.

Syntax

To use the Splash Screen plugin in an Ionic app, you must first install it using the following command:

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-splashscreen

Then, you can use the following syntax to customize the splash screen in your app:

import { SplashScreen } from '@ionic-native/splash-screen/ngx';

constructor(private splashScreen: SplashScreen) { }

// Hide the splash screen
this.splashScreen.hide();

Example

Here is an example of how to customize the splash screen in an Ionic app:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { SplashScreen } from '@ionic-native/splash-screen/ngx';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: 'app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['app.component.scss']
})
export class AppComponent {

  constructor(
    private splashScreen: SplashScreen
  ) {
    // Hide the splash screen after two seconds
    setTimeout(() => {
      this.splashScreen.hide();
    }, 2000);
  }
}

In this example, we import the SplashScreen from the @ionic-native/splash-screen package and inject it into our component's constructor. Then, we use setTimeout to hide the splash screen after two seconds.

Output

The output of this example is a custom splash screen that is displayed when the app is launched. After two seconds, the splash screen is hidden and the main app view is displayed.
