Overview of this book

Hybrid Apps are a promising choice in mobile app development to achieve cost effectiveness and rapid development. However, they were not preferred over native apps until few years back due to a poor performance and bad user experience, but everything has changed with the release of Ionic. It has evolved as the most popular choice for Hybrid Mobile App development as it tends to match the native experience and provides robust components/tools to build apps. Getting Started with Ionic equips any web developer with the basic knowledge needed to use modern web technologies to build amazing hybrid mobile apps using Ionic. This fast-paced, practical book explains all the important concepts of AngularJS and Cordova Framework required to develop apps, then gives you a brief introduction to hybrid mobile applications. It will guide you through setting up the environment to develop mobile apps, and through the multiple options and features available in Ionic so you can use them in your mobile apps. Features such as the Side Menu, Tabs, Touch Interactions, and native features such as Bar Code, Camera, and Geolocations are all covered.. Finally, we’ll show you how to use Cordova plugins and publish your apps.

Introducing Ionic Framework

Ionic Framework is a Hybrid App development framework that enables developers to build Native-looking Mobile Apps using web technologies (HTML5, CSS3, and JS). Ionic Framework is completely open source so that developers can build and publish their apps to the marketplace without any cost.

Ionic is built on top of the AngularJS framework and uses Apache Cordova for building apps from web content. Ionic Framework includes a set of amazing Angular directives that makes it very easy to develop for mobile. For example, ListView, Optimized Touch gestures, Side Menus, Popup, Tabs, and mobile-specific input elements.

Ionic has ready-made UI for mobile components, which helps in rapid application development for Hybrid Mobile Apps. Ionic has native-looking stylesheets for Android and iOS, which automatically get applied based on the platform build.

Ionic Framework has evolved into an ecosystem with a suite of mobile development tools along with the framework itself. Ionic CLI has amazing options such as Ionic Lab and Live Reload, which helps developers save lot of development time. Ionic view is a Native App for iOS and Android where developers can deploy and test their apps on the fly without packaging. Ionic.io is a complete cloud-based backend service platform where developers can manage their app data, view analytics, and manage push notifications from a single console.
