About the book

A short, project-led introduction to Ionic 1, the AngularJS and Cordova generation of the framework. You learn by building: a to-do list, a London tourist guide that reads its data from JSON, and a tabbed social app backed by Firebase. Along the way it covers theming with Sass and running apps in the browser, in the Ionic View app and on real devices.

Who it is for. Web developers with more than basic HTML5 and JavaScript who want to build hybrid mobile apps. AngularJS developers will feel at home, and native iOS and Android developers with web skills can use it as a route into hybrid apps.

What you’ll learn

  • Learn Ionic by building three complete mobile apps
  • Create, serve and run projects with the Ionic command line
  • Use basic and advanced Ionic components: lists, side menus, tabs, popovers and modals
  • Connect an Ionic app to a Firebase back end
  • Reach native device features through PhoneGap plugins and ngCordova
  • Test apps in the browser, in the Ionic View app and on real devices
