Synopsis

Learn how to build app store-ready hybrid apps with the Ionic 2, the framework built on top of Apache Cordova (formerly PhoneGap) and Angular. This practical guide shows you how to use Ionic’s tools and services to develop apps with HTML, CSS, and TypeScript, rather than rely on platform-specific solutions found in Android, iOS, and Windows Phone.

Author Chris Griffith takes you step-by-step through Ionic’s powerful collection of UI components, and then helps you use it to build three cross-platform mobile apps. Whether you’re new to this framework or have been working with Ionic 1, this book is ideal for beginning, intermediate, and advanced web developers.

• Understand what a hybrid mobile app is, and what comprises a basic Ionic application
• Learn how Ionic leverages Apache Cordova, Angular, and TypeScript to create native mobile applications
• Create a Firebase-enabled to-do application that stores data across multiple clients
• Build a tab-based National Park explorer app with Google Map integration
• Develop a weather app with the Darksky weather API and Google’s GeoCode API
• Debug and test your app to resolve issues that arise during development
• Walk through steps for deploying your app to native app stores
• Learn how Ionic can be used to create Progressive Web Apps
