DESCRIPTION
There has been a sharp rise in the no. of web developers entering mobile development ever since Hybrid mobile technologies came into existence. They enable the web developer to build mobile apps for multiple platforms via a single development kit without the need of learning a dedicated platform language for individual platforms utilizing their existing skills thus empowering them immensely. PhoneGap and Titanium are examples of hybrid mobile technologies.
Ionic is one of the newer hybrid mobile technologies. It is an openly sourced front-end framework that can be used to create stunning mobile applications via HTML5. It is a quite advanced Hybrid mobile framework based on HTML5. Cordova, is the base of Ionic apps, therefore Cordova features can be used to test, build or deploy apps. At present Ionic uses AngularJS to create beautiful front-ends as look and feel of the apps is Ionic’s primary focus.
There are 3 principle components of the Ionic Framework:
- A framework optimized for mobile UIs which is based off of SASS.
- For building scalable and fast applications it has an AngularJS front-end JavaScript framework
- Also has a compiler like Phonegap or Cordova in addition to HTML, JavaScript and CSS for native mobile application.
