Overview of this book

Ionic is the preferred choice for JavaScript developers to develop real-time hybrid applications. This book will get you started with Ionic 3.9 and help you create Angular 5 components that interact with templates. You will work with Ionic components and find out how to share data efficiently between them. You'll discover how to make the best use of the REST API to handle back-end services and then move on to animating your application to make it look pretty. You then learn to add in a local push notification in order to test the app. Then you'll work with Cordova to support native functionalities on both iOS and Android. From there, you'll get to grips with using the default themes for each platform and customizing your own. We then take you through the advanced Ionic features like lazy loading, deep linking, localizing ionic apps etc. Finally, you'll see how best to deploy your app to different platforms.

Adding left and right menu navigation

Menu navigation is a very common component in many mobile apps. You can use the menu to allow users to change to different pages in the app, including login and logout. The menu could be placed on the left or right of the app. Ionic also lets you detect events and further customize the menu's look and feel.

This is a screenshot of the app you will develop:

The app will have two pages and two menus. You can toggle either the left or right menu (but not both at the same time). In reality, it is much less likely that you will have both menus, but for the purposes of demonstration, this app will include both menus as the app will show the different properties of the menus that you can set. The left menu will change the page and the right menu will allow you to capture the exact item that is clicked on.
