Learn Cycle, Ionic and Particle

Theming Ionic applications is a topic that is often left undiscussed. Ionic has a robust API to theme your application so you don't have to settle with the default styles.

This course will show you how Ionic’s theming system works so that your application can have its unique look. It will explore the built-in utilities, which you can leverage directly.

You'll be introduced to the built-in CSS utilities that Ionic provides, Ionics grid system, and Ionic configuration settings to create a custom look and feel to your App.

Ionic is the beautiful, free and open source mobile SDK for developing native and progressive web apps with ease.

Style and Theme Ionic v3 Applications

Building native mobile applications has traditionally been a completely foreign work flow than web development. Recently frameworks, such as Ionic and React Native, have been come out to create a similar web development workflow in a native environment. 

Ionic 2 builds on top of Angular to offer a complete framework for building mobile apps using HTML, CSS, and Javascript that target native mobile and the browser. We’ll work with the RandomUser API to create an employee directory that will let us view user details, update that information, and pass the data back and forth with Ionic 2 routing.

Angular is a development platform for creating applications using modern web standards. Angular includes a wealth of essential features such as mobile gestures, animations, filtering, routing, data binding, security, internationalization, and beautiful UI components. It's extremely modular, lightweight, and easy to learn.

Building apps with Ionic 2

Cycle.js is a framework where your app is described as a simple function taking an event stream as input and outputting an event stream. 

Cycle.js builds on functional and reactive streams and is a JavaScript framework. What does that mean? In the course, André Staltz, the creator of Cycle.js, will explain it to us.

We'll start this course with an empty project and build out our own toy version of Cycle.js to understand exactly what's going on under the hood. When we have a solid base of how Cycle.js works we will move on to use the Cycle.js API and build an app using the Model-View-Intent pattern.

Cycle.js Fundamentals

Ionic allows you to build cross platform native applications using Angular. In this course we will convert the Eggly AngularJS application into an Ionic mobile application.

AngularJS is an open-source JavaScript framework, maintained by Google, that assists with running single-page applications. Its goal is to augment web-based applications with model–view–controller (MVC) capability, in an effort to make both development and testing easier.

Building an Angular 1.x Ionic Application

Welcome to the *Ionic Quickstart* series where you will learn how to get started with Ionic from the ground up. We will begin with how to install the required dependencies such as Node.js, Android SDKs and even GenyMotion to installing and running Ionic. By the time you finish, you will know how to create, edit and run an Ionic application. If you are on Windows or Mac and not sure where to start with hybrid mobile development, this is a great place to start!

React is one of the web’s most popular frameworks for building JavaScript applications. 

If you know what you’re doing, React can drastically simplify how you build, use, and maintain code.

Whether you’re a React newbie or you’re ready for advanced techniques, you can level-up with egghead. Explore our in-depth courses, lessons, and community resources to build more powerful applications and crack open your career.

Creating cross-platform web-based applications with Ionic 4 and React is easy thanks to the Stencil compiler and `create-react-app`.

In this video, we look at how to use create-react-app and @ionic/react to make an Ionic 4 + React application

Vue (pronounced /vjuː/, like view) is a progressive framework for building user interfaces. Unlike other monolithic frameworks, Vue is designed from the ground up to be incrementally adoptable. The core library is focused on the view layer only, and is very easy to pick up and integrate with other libraries or existing projects. On the other hand, Vue is also perfectly capable of powering sophisticated Single-Page Applications when used in combination with modern tooling and supporting libraries.

Creating cross-platform web-based applications with Ionic 4 and Vue is easy thanks to the Stencil compiler and the Vue.js CLI.

We look at how to combine these together to use Ionic 4 components within our Vue.js applications.

We are starting to get a better architecture for these UI apps. But we still have a problem of repeating code for the sliders, since they share so much in common in looks and functionality. This lessons shows how we can create a generic labeled slider as a main() function receiving properties as sources.

In this lesson, we install the Android Software Development Kit (SDK) and the necessary Android API (Application Interface). This is the code base that allows us to run the Android platform on our PC. We also add a couple environment variables and update our PATH environment variable.

Our app is not yet a BMI calculator, because it only has two sliders, but doesn't show the calculated BMI number. In this lesson we will learn how to export any stream from a child component and use it in the parent component, in order to display the BMI calculation on the DOM.

Export Values from Components through Sinks in Cycle.js

This lesson shows what can be learned next as a continuation of this course, and gives a recap on the core concepts: main for pure logic, drivers for side effects, run() to connect main and drivers, sources for read effects, sinks for write effects, and nesting Cycle.js apps to work as components.

Overview of Cycle.js

In this lesson, we learn how to install Ionic and Cordova. We then build an app from scratch using the Ionic CLI and a blank starter template.

Build and Run an Ionic App from Scratch

In this lesson, we learn how to build a sidebar layout using only Ionic directives. Ionic provides some powerful functionality with very few semantics. Here are all the directives we will learn about:
- **ion-side-menus** - A container element for side menu(s) and the main visible content.
- **ion-side-menu-content** - A container for the main visible content, sibling to one or more `ionSideMenu` directives.
- **ion-side-menu** - A container for a side menu, sibling to an `ionSideMenuContent` directive.
- **ion-nav-view** - Used to render templates in your application. Each template 
is part of a state. States are usually mapped to a url, and are defined programatically 
using angular-ui-router (see their docs for reference).
- **ion-view** - A container for view content and any navigational and header bar information. Used as a child of `ionNavView`.
- **ion-nav-bar** - If we have an `ionNavView` directive, we can also create an 
`ionNavBar`, which will create a topbar that updates as the application state changes.
- **ion-nav-buttons** - Use nav buttons to set the buttons on your `ionNavBar` 
from within an `ionView`.
- **ion-content**- Provides an easy to use content area that can be configured 
to use Ionic’s custom Scroll View, or the built in overflow scrolling of the browser.
- **ion-list** - The List is a widely used interface element in almost any mobile app, and can include 
content ranging from basic text all the way to buttons, toggles, icons, and thumbnails.
- **ion-item** - Used to create items inside of an `ionList`.

Build a Sidebar Layout with Ionic

In this lesson, we are going to dig into Ionic lists and make use of some awesome list features that Ionic gives us for free. We are going to learn how to use the following Ionic directives:

- **ion-nav-buttons** - Use nav buttons to set the buttons on your `ionNavBar`.
- **ion-list** - The List is a widely used interface element in almost any mobile app, and can include 
content ranging from basic text all the way to buttons, toggles, icons, and thumbnails.
- **ion-item**- Used to create items inside of an `ionList`.
- **ion-delete-button** - A child of `ionItem`, this element allows a developer to show/hide a delete button within an `ionItem` with ease.
- **ion-reorder-button** - A child of `ionItem`, this element allows a developer to reorder an `ionItem` within a list easily.
