What is "ionic"

What is the Ionic?

The Ionic Framework is an open sorce user interface toolkit for creating high-performance, high-quality mobile applications using web technologies (HTML, CSS and Javascript).

The Ionic Framework is focused on the user experience of the frontend, or interaction of the user interface of an application (controls, interactions, gestures, animations). It is easy to learn and integrates very well with other libraries or structures such as Angular, or can be used as standalone without a front-end structure using a simple script inclusion.

Currently, the Ionic Framework has official integration with Angular, but also has support for Vuejs and React is in the development phase.

The key technologies that support Ionic are:

  • Apache Cordova: Integration with native device features
  • Angular: Creating the web part of the App.
  • Ionic Module and Ionic CLI: Tools and Components provided by the framework
