Ionic is an open-source UI toolkit for developing high-quality mobile and desktop apps with web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Ionic focuses on the frontend UX and UI interaction of an app – UI controls, interactions, gestures, and animations. It is simple to learn and can be used without any frontend framework by utilizing a simple script inclusion.

While previous versions of Ionic were strongly connected to Angular, version 4.x of the framework was re-engineered to serve as an independent Web Component library, with integrations for the newest JavaScript frameworks, such as Angular. Ionic works well in most frontend frameworks, including React and Vue, however some frontend frameworks require a shim to enable full Web Component support.
The official Ionic CLI, or Command Line Interface, is a tool that enables developers to easily construct Ionic apps and offers a number of useful commands. The CLI installs and updates Ionic and also includes a built-in development server, build and debugging tools, and much more. If you are an Appflow member, you may manage your account and carry out cloud builds and deployments via the CLI.

Senior Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees | 3.5 | Ionic is a valuable hybrid framework for publishing mobile apps across iOS, Huawei, and Google Play Store with a single codebase. However, integration issues and versioning challenges with Capacitor, Cordova, and PhoneGap need improvement, especially for publishing to additional app stores. |
Senior Frontend Developer Consultant at Modus Create | 4.5 | I worked on a medical company project using Ionic for its ease of one-code deployment across platforms. The most valuable feature is reducing developer costs. Enhancements could include more plugins and customization. Ionic outperforms alternatives like Xamarin and React Native. |
