    Developing a Simple Mobile App with Ionic Framework

    By RahulFebruary 22, 20232 Mins Read

    Ionic Framework is a powerful and popular option for developing cross-platform mobile applications. In this article, we’ll walk you through a step-by-step guide to creating a simple mobile app using Ionic Framework.

    Prerequisites

    Before getting started, you’ll need to have the following prerequisites installed:

    • Node.js and NPM: You can download and install Node.js and NPM from the official website.
    • Ionic CLI: You can install Ionic CLI using the following command: npm install -g @ionic/cli

    Step 1: Create a New Ionic Project

    The first step is to create a new Ionic project using the following command:

    ionic start myApp tabs --type=angular 
    

    This command will create a new Ionic project with the name “myApp” and the “tabs” template. We’re also specifying that we want to use Angular as the framework for our project.

    Step 2: Add a New Page

    The “tabs” template comes with three pages by default. Let’s add a new page to our app by running the following command:

    ionic generate page about 
    

    This command will generate a new page called “about” in our app.

    Step 3: Add Content to the About Page

    Now that we have a new page, let’s add some content to it. Open the about.page.html file located in the src/app/about directory:

    nano src/app/about/about.page.html 
    

    And add the following content:

    <ion-header>
      <ion-toolbar>
        <ion-title>
          About
        </ion-title>
      </ion-toolbar>
    </ion-header>
     
    <ion-content>
      <ion-card>
        <ion-card-header>
          <ion-card-title>
            Welcome to the About Page!
          </ion-card-title>
        </ion-card-header>
        <ion-card-content>
          <p>This is a simple Ionic app developed by [Your Name]</p>
        </ion-card-content>
      </ion-card>
    </ion-content>

    This code will create a simple card with some text that will be displayed on the About page.

    Step 4: Update the Tabs Navigation

    Since we added a new page to our app, we need to update the navigation in the tabs. Open the tabs.page.html file located in the src/app/tabs directory:

    nano src/app/tabs/tabs.page.html 
    

    And update it as follows:

    1

    <ion-tabs>
      <ion-tab-bar slot="bottom">
        <ion-tab-button tab="tab1">
          <ion-icon name="home"></ion-icon>
          <ion-label>Home</ion-label>
        </ion-tab-button>
     
        <ion-tab-button tab="tab2">
          <ion-icon name="list"></ion-icon>
          <ion-label>List</ion-label>
        </ion-tab-button>
     
        <ion-tab-button tab="about">
          <ion-icon name="information-circle"></ion-icon>
          <ion-label>About</ion-label>
        </ion-tab-button>
      </ion-tab-bar>
    </ion-tabs>

    This code will add a new tab button for the “about” page.

    Step 5: Run the App

    Now that we’ve made our changes, we can run the app in the browser using the following command:

    ionic serve 
    

    This command will compile and start our app in the default browser. You should see the “Home”, “List”, and “About” tabs in the app.
