Ionic Framework By Example

Chapter 2. To-Do List App

In this chapter, we will be diving headfirst into Ionic and will be using a lot of the Ionic CLI tool. We will create our first Ionic application and add some basic Ionic features to our app. We will also get to run our app for the first time using Ionic and will debug our app in Chrome. We will finish this chapter by creating a to-do list application with Ionic. This application will simply let us add items to our app and also provide us a way of deleting these items or marking them as done.

Creating our first application

Creating a new project with Ionic is actually a very pain-free experience with the Ionic CLI. There are different ways to create a new Ionic project but the easiest and more standard technique is to use the Ionic templates. This is by far the easiest way, and it let us use any of the three standard templates provided by Ionic.

These templates include:

  • The blank template: This creates a new project with some boilerplate code to help you get set up with a blank application
  • The tabs template: This is the same as the first but instead of a blank application, you get an application with a tabbed design
  • The side menu template: This creates a new application with a side menu design and some boilerplate

We will be using each of these in this book at some point of time. For now, we are going to start with the first and create a brand new Ionic project using the blank template. Before we move on, let's have a look at the command that the Ionic CLI uses to create a...

The Ionic workflow

When you create a new Ionic project, there are a couple of folders and files that come as stock as part of the generated project. Your directory should look similar to what is seen in the following screenshot:

The Ionic workflow

The structure you see is pretty much the same as in every Cordova project, with the exception of a few files and folders. For example, there is a scss folder. This contains a file that lets us customize the look and feel of our application and will be covered in detail in later chapters. There are also the platforms and plugins folder. The platforms folder, in most cases is auto-generated, but we will not be covering them in this book so you can ignore them for the time being.

You will also notice that in your www/lib folder, there is a folder called ionic that contains all the required files to run Ionic. There are css, fonts, js, and scss folder.

  • css: This folder contains all the default CSS that come with an Ionic app.
  • fonts: Ionic comes with its own font and Icon...

Summary

In this chapter, we got to create our very first Ionic application using the Ionic blank application template. We had a look at what the Ionic workflow looks like and also got to see some of the files that make up the workflow. We then dived in and discussed about how we intended to build our to-do list application. We further went ahead and actually implemented the UI of our to-do list app based on a wireframe. We wrote some Angular code and wired it up to the user interface we created.

In the next chapter, we will learn different ways to run and test our application for the very first time with the Ionic CLI.

Description

Change doesn’t have to be challenging. Sometimes it can be simple – sometimes it just makes sense. With Ionic, mobile development has never been so simple, so elegant and obvious. By helping developers to harness AngularJS and HTML5 for mobile development, it’s the perfect framework for anyone obsessed with performance, and anyone that understands just how important a great user experience really is. This book shows you how to get started with Ionic framework immediately. But it doesn’t just give you instructions and then expect you to follow them. Instead it demonstrates what Ionic is capable of through three practical projects you can follow and build yourself. From a basic to-do list app, a London tourist app, to a complete social media app, all three projects have been designed to help you learn Ionic at its very best. From setting up your project to developing on both the server side and front end, and best practices for testing and debugging your projects, you’ll quickly become a better mobile developer, delivering high performance mobile apps that look awesome. Ionic Framework by Example is for people who don’t want to learn now, build later – it’s for people who want to learn and build at the same time – so they can meet today’s mobile development challenges head on and deliver better products than anyone else.

Who is this book for?

This book is for anyone who wants to see Ionic in action - and find out how it could transform the way they build mobile apps. If you’re a JavaScript web developer, you’ll be building great projects in no time.

This is a great little book. The style is smooth and well paced and the material presented in a non intimidating manner to the reader. The author makes sure to give the reader a quick ramp up on the key features so that you can immediately see results within your work -- and the gratification therefrom. This is an excellent, down and dirty, hand-on working book for the Ionic beginner and provides a nicely rounded out course of study that touches all the key points without getting the reader bogged down in minutiae. Highly recommended as a starter text for the aspiring Ionic Framework learner.

Overall I liked the book. It serves its purposes well in that it was an introduction. It is definitely better than reading the manual as you get to EXPERIENCE some of the cool features in a very short amount of time as you just copy/paste (I read an online version from the library) the code and off you go. You can get a sense of accomplishment very quickly and you DO get to see quite a number of features.The short length of the book is its strength in that it is not overwhelming and is beginner friendly. But perhaps this also leave something to be desired. The book has a generous amount of screen shots and code samples which are completely necessary and helpful, but at 158 pages, if one are not counting these large pictures, there simply isn't whole lot of content (text).If the author makes the book bigger by adding more content, but keep the same easy to read format, I think the book would be even better.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
