about responsiveness and adaptability.<br />

Everything You Need <strong>to</strong> Know About <strong>Ionic</strong> App<br />

Development<br />

<strong>Ionic</strong> facilitates the development <strong>of</strong> hybrid mobile applications. Developed on AngularJS<br />

& Apache Cordava platform, <strong>Ionic</strong> framework allows developers <strong>to</strong> build apps using<br />

different web technologies like HTML, CSS, etc. This flexibility has led <strong>to</strong> a surge in<br />

<strong>Ionic</strong>’s popularity over the years. There are multiple approaches <strong>to</strong> ionic mobile app<br />

development such as:<br />

1. Independent <strong>Ionic</strong> Development without any framework<br />

<strong>Ionic</strong> components can be used as web components anywhere just like other components<br />

without needing <strong>to</strong> add any other <strong>to</strong>ols, libraries or frameworks. The beauty <strong>of</strong> ionic lies<br />

in its flexibility <strong>to</strong> use UI components straight away.<br />

2. Angular-based <strong>Ionic</strong> Development<br />

<strong>Ionic</strong> was first introduced as a platform built on Angular. While ionic focuses on the user<br />

experience part, Angular gives an app the power <strong>to</strong> hold everything <strong>to</strong>gether and make it<br />

functional. This approach is the most popular among all the approaches as Angular has<br />

thriving community support, dedicated libraries making it easier <strong>to</strong> develop angularbased<br />

ionic mobile applications.<br />

3. Stencil-based <strong>Ionic</strong> Development<br />

Stencil is a powerful frontend development <strong>to</strong>ol that is used <strong>to</strong> create <strong>Ionic</strong> web<br />

components. Stencil can be used <strong>to</strong> build complete mobile applications while <strong>Ionic</strong> can<br />

take care <strong>of</strong> the user interface. Developers can also create their own web components<br />

that would structure an entire web app using stencil. Stencil-based development<br />

eliminates the need for a framework for app operations, which isn’t the case with<br />

angular/ionic development. Though this approach <strong>of</strong>fers great perks it comes with<br />

standard functionalities needed for developing a great app, making it more technically<br />

challenging than following the conventional angular-ionic mobile app development route.<br />

Main Advantages <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ionic</strong> App Development for Business<br />

1. Easy adaptability<br />

<strong>Ionic</strong> isn’t hard <strong>to</strong> learn. If a developer understands the basics <strong>of</strong> HTML, JavaScript &<br />

CSS, then he can efficiently take care <strong>of</strong> ionic mobile app development project. As<br />

skilled resources associated with these technologies are freely available, businesses can<br />

get hybrid applications developed at a lower cost by hiring an ionic developer.<br />

2. Cross-platform compatibility<br />

By using ionic platform for app development, businesses can quickly launch mobile<br />

applications across Android, iOS or Windows OS. <strong>Ionic</strong> supports Android 4.1 and above,<br />

iOS 7 & above and Windows 10, making cross platform mobile app development cheaper<br />

and more fruitful for modern business.<br />

3. Intuitive & engaging UI<br />

As mentioned above, <strong>Ionic</strong> is all about <strong>of</strong>fering a great user experience. All the UI<br />

components and themes can be cus<strong>to</strong>mized according <strong>to</strong> business’ branding and <strong>to</strong><br />

Sliding items are useful when you need <strong>to</strong> incorporate plenty <strong>of</strong> actions in a single item<br />

leads <strong>to</strong> demand for loading more data. Many users had complaints that pulling action is<br />

hard <strong>to</strong> be noticed, making it complex <strong>to</strong> understand if their action has triggered<br />

anything. In the latest update, the problem <strong>of</strong> the action happening <strong>to</strong>o quickly is sorted.<br />

the speed <strong>of</strong> pull. The property aligns the speed with content drag <strong>to</strong> refresh a screen.<br />

ensuring that users don’t lose their position on the page because <strong>of</strong> accidental scrolling.<br />
