If you want to zoom into images with Ionic, you first had access to a scroll component and then slides, but with the deprecation of Ionic slides in the future we need a new way to zoom our images.

Glad we can once again turn to Swiper as we did as a replacement for ion-slides already to implement a cool zoom functionality.

We can even control this from code and we’ll show our images in a nice modal with blurred background as a little bonus today!
