Everything You Need to Know About Ionic App
Development
Ionic facilitates the development of hybrid mobile applications. Developed on AngularJS
& Apache Cordava platform, Ionic framework allows developers to build apps using
different web technologies like HTML, CSS, etc. This flexibility has led to a surge in
Ionic’s popularity over the years. There are multiple approaches to ionic mobile app
development such as:
1. Independent Ionic Development without any framework
Ionic components can be used as web components anywhere just like other components
without needing to add any other tools, libraries or frameworks. The beauty of ionic lies
in its flexibility to use UI components straight away.
2. Angular-based Ionic Development
Ionic was first introduced as a platform built on Angular. While ionic focuses on the user
experience part, Angular gives an app the power to hold everything together and make it
functional. This approach is the most popular among all the approaches as Angular has
thriving community support, dedicated libraries making it easier to develop angular-
based ionic mobile applications.
3. Stencil-based Ionic Development
Stencil is a powerful frontend development tool that is used to create Ionic web
components. Stencil can be used to build complete mobile applications while Ionic can

take care of the user interface. Developers can also create their own web components
that would structure an entire web app using stencil. Stencil-based development
eliminates the need for a framework for app operations, which isn’t the case with
angular/ionic development. Though this approach offers great perks it comes with
standard functionalities needed for developing a great app, making it more technically
challenging than following the conventional angular-ionic mobile app development route.
Main Advantages of Ionic App Development for Business
1. Easy adaptability
Ionic isn’t hard to learn. If a developer understands the basics of HTML, JavaScript &
CSS, then he can efficiently take care of ionic mobile app development project. As
skilled resources associated with these technologies are freely available, businesses can

applications across Android, iOS or Windows OS. Ionic supports Android 4.1 and above,
iOS 7 & above and Windows 10, making cross platform mobile app development cheaper
and more fruitful for modern business.
3. Intuitive & engaging UI
As mentioned above, Ionic is all about offering a great user experience. All the UI
components and themes can be customized according to business’ branding and to

features that are a boon for global ionic developer community.
1. Cards as Buttons
Cards are those blocks in the UI where a lot of information has to be stuffed without
hampering the visual appeal of a page. In the latest update, cards are updated to accept
the button attribute. The attribute can be used to apply specific style for iOS and Android
OS. The card will now be adaptable and scale on iOS just like App Store UI while on the

2. Open Method on Sliding Items
Sliding items are useful when you need to incorporate plenty of actions in a single item
without over-stuffing. But sometimes they can be a little overwhelming as users might
not get clarity that an item can be used for different actions. With Ionic 4.4.0, developers
can program a sliding item to reveal its options.

3. Better Control Over Pull-to-refresh
Pull-to-refresh is a popular element used in modern apps. It’s used when any user action
leads to demand for loading more data. Many users had complaints that pulling action is
hard to be noticed, making it complex to understand if their action has triggered
anything. In the latest update, the problem of the action happening too quickly is sorted.
8. info@techtic.com www.techtic.com +1 201-793-8324
pullFactor property has been introduced in Ionic 4.4.0 which enables developers to set
the speed of pull. The property aligns the speed with content drag to refresh a screen.
To illustrate, look at the following image. Here the pullFactor property is set to 0.2,
ensuring that users don’t lose their position on the page because of accidental scrolling.
Apart from these additions, the Ionic team has fixed many bugs and added
enhancements to Ionic platform that can be checked in the release notes and changelog.
