Mobile Apps With Ionic and Firebase

Envato Tuts+ Courses

Course Description

Ionic is a framework for building cross-platform mobile apps with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Not only does Ionic come with numerous mobile-optimized UI components, but it is also built on top of AngularJS for powerful templating and easy two-way data binding.

Firebase is a perfect complement to Ionic. While Ionic is a great tool for building the front-end, Firebase can power the back-end. With Firebase, we don’t need to worry about provisioning servers or building REST APIs—with a little bit of configuration, we can let Firebase do the work.

In this course, we’re going to build a recipe app called “Foodbook”. We’ll start by getting familiar with the Ionic components, and then we’ll take it further as we create controllers and services with AngularJS.

What You’ll Learn

• How Ionic works, and a look at its CSS, JavaScript and HTML components.
• Build a recipe catalog app with Ionic, using Firebase to store data.
• Set up App.js and routing, and create an Angular service to connect your app to the Firebase server.
• Create the app interface: home page, add page, recipe list and single page view, and edit/delete pages.
