In this tutorial, we will go through the process of building a simple clone of the Gojek app for multi-service transportation network companies. Gojek allows users to book rides, order food delivery, make payments and more – we will focus on recreating the core user interface and functionality.

We will be using Tailwind CSS, a utility-first CSS framework, which is perfect for beginners because it allows building user interfaces without having to learn extensive CSS. By the end, you’ll have a working Gojek clone app that you can expand further.

Setup Development Environment

The first step is to install the required tools and set up our project files. We will be using Node.js and NPM for managing dependencies and building the project.

Open your terminal and check if Node.js is installed by running node -v. If not installed, download it from nodejs.org. We also need to install NPM by running npm install npm@latest -g.

Now let’s create our project folder and navigate into it:

mkdir gojek-clone 
cd gojek-clone

Inside this folder, initialize an NPM project with npm init -y to generate a package.json file.

Next, install Tailwind CSS using the CLI tool:

npm install -D tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer

Create an index.html file and linked Tailwind’s CSS:

<link href="tailwind.css" rel="stylesheet">

We’re all set to start building our interface with Tailwind!

Design the Homepage

Let’s design the homepage where users can see featured services. We’ll add basic HTML structure:

<header>...header>

<main>

  <section class="banner">
  section>

  <section class="features">
  section>

main>

For the banner, we add an image and title:

class="banner bg-cover bg-center h-96">
  <div class="text-center text-white py-20">
    <h1 class="text-4xl font-bold">Your ride is one tap awayh1>
  div>
</section>

And customize it with Tailwind classes.

Now for the features section, we’ll add sample data:

const features = [
  {
    name: 'Rides',
    icon: 'taxi' 
  },
  {
    name: 'Food', 
    icon: 'burger'
  }
]

Loop through it to display cards:

<div class="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 gap-8">

  {{features.map(feature => `

    <div class="p-8 bg-white rounded-lg shadow-xl">
      <img class="mx-auto" src=${feature.icon}>  
      <h2 class="text-2xl my-4">${feature.name}
`)}}
