Ionic Framework By Example

Overview of this book

Change doesn’t have to be challenging. Sometimes it can be simple – sometimes it just makes sense. With Ionic, mobile development has never been so simple, so elegant and obvious. By helping developers to harness AngularJS and HTML5 for mobile development, it’s the perfect framework for anyone obsessed with performance, and anyone that understands just how important a great user experience really is. This book shows you how to get started with Ionic framework immediately. But it doesn’t just give you instructions and then expect you to follow them. Instead it demonstrates what Ionic is capable of through three practical projects you can follow and build yourself. From a basic to-do list app, a London tourist app, to a complete social media app, all three projects have been designed to help you learn Ionic at its very best. From setting up your project to developing on both the server side and front end, and best practices for testing and debugging your projects, you’ll quickly become a better mobile developer, delivering high performance mobile apps that look awesome. Ionic Framework by Example is for people who don’t want to learn now, build later – it’s for people who want to learn and build at the same time – so they can meet today’s mobile development challenges head on and deliver better products than anyone else.

Summary


In this chapter, we focused on creating our Bucket-List application from scratch using the Ionic blank template. We also learned to use the <ion-list> component of Ionic and its child elements. We wrote some Angular code to wire everything up and got it running. The <ion-list>component is a very powerful component, and although the task of this chapter might appear a bit more complex that the previous ones, there are still some more powerful features that the <ion-list> component lets us do. For more information about <ion-list>, visit the official documentation of <ion-list> from the provided links in the appendix of this book to learn even more complex features.

In the next chapter, we will be learning some very exciting stuff about creating side menu applications with Ionic. We will also build ourselves a tourist application and work with the AJAX calls for the very first time using Angular's $HTTP service.
