I am a first year "computer programmer" college student and I got an internship where I was asked to develop a simple cross platform mobile app. Nothing too complex, consists in a login screen, then a screen with a form where I'm using jQuery UI autocomplete to get some info from the DB, a select box, datepicker and a text area. The other screen is just a table with information with the current day, week and month records of whoever is logged in.
I am using HTML5 and CSS for the front-end and php with Codeigniter to connect to mySQL DB.
The question is: I intend to use phonegap to turn it into a hybrid mobile app. Would you consider this a good approach? Or would it be worth it to delay the project a little more and learn how to do it using Ionic framework for the front-end and learn how to use node.js to connect with the database? Also I could use Ionic for front-end so it feels more like a native app and still use Codeigniter to connect to my server. I'd love to read your opinions and suggestions on this.
Thanks in advance.
I would highly recommend using Ionic for the app, you get a lot of stuff right out of the box that you will otherwise have to figure out your self.
Getting started with ionic is as easy as writing 'ionic start' and choosing a name for your project and a template to start from.
Depending on you level of web development skills you could really quickly end up with a app of spaghetti code without some kind of framework to set up some guidelines on how to structure your project.
As for the backend I will recommend you to use what ever you feel the most comfortable with as long as it easily can expose the REST endpoints you need.
Lucas Berte Schoenardie,
Since jquery mobile is not updated last two years so it will be better to choice IONIC which is using AngularJS (Google product) and App with Ionic is more native than PhoneGap( using jquery).
This reference on StockOverFlow may help you to take appropriate decision.
Thank you!
I am very new to AngularJs and Ionic Framework. I have been given a link to Magento database with the user and passkey. But I have no idea on how to get started with it. I came across a library called Angular-SOAP, but not getting any idea on how to go with it. Please help.
Starting with a website build with AngularJS as frontend and a ReST API set as backend. I would like to append an online help content.
Does exist a project or a framework to do that quickly (using angularjs powerfull) ?
I have no special mandatory requirements. I think that two concept could be important:
help section representation as a tree,
quick link between webapplication and online help.
JHipser may be the one you need.
I finally decided to build it without additional framework:
a flat json file that describe the structure and contents of my online help,
a controller with $http.get(...) embedded to get back the content
a dedicated help page : I re-use the bootstrap help menu and I use the ng-repeat directive to show the active content.
(Anyway Thanks #Shaojiang Cai for your suggest).
So here's my problem . I have a web app designed in code-igniter php and we're exposing an API for it to talk to a mobile app.
It's an education based CMS app. It allows teachers and students to log in and see grades and any calendar based notifications
We want to quickly build an app which will let students log in and see their notifications or messages . I am sort of a front-end developer and was looking into Ionic and AppGyver's Supersonic UI ?
What would be the best choice to go for now ( I need something within a week ), also , how do I set up my app folder to talk with the api or bind it with the api ?
I've not really worked with APIs a whole lot and a bit lost in how to set up my project. I come from a graphic design background and have been recently using Yeoman for my front-end workflow.
We plan to migrate from code-igniter to AngularJS in the long run , so Ionic would be a good choice then but for now I need to get a working app and was wondering if SuperSonic UI would be a better choice for an hybrid app.
Questions :
From what I've described what would be the best solution to go forward with?
Also, can anyone suggest any tutorials / screencast which does an in-depth project with one of the technologies ? Or maybe some other frameworks I've not taken into account ?
Can I set it up with Yeoman ? Can I use Yeoman and Ionic together ?
Appgyver is doing well with Supersonic and Data. They are working extensively on their Data implementations. I am currently using an API for my application without using Appgyver Data, but also was able to get it working with their data option. They have a few tutorials to get you the basics of building, scaffolding, deploying applications using their framework.
Tutorials
You will notice the third tutorial gets you into the data portion.
This is the documentation for their data options.
What you will see in their framework is AngularJS written in either coffeescript or javascript (you choose which when you first run steroids create projectName in your command line).
There are lots of discussions about this platform happening here.
Personally, I am about to release an application to the app store and google play with little effort. Your application doesn't sound too complicated if you have an API to get the data. This is worth a shot.
They also have a new product coming out May 25th I am told. And with lots of funding recently, they are hiring more developers to tackle the GitHub issues and move the platform forward rapidly.
I've only had good experiences with them.
Yeoman is being used behind the scenes as far as I can tell.
I've seen some references to using Backbone.js with a CMS. I will be starting on a new project soon that will be using Kentico CMS. I'd like to use Backbone.js for the client side framework to make a "web app" experience that has it's content managed through Kentico (similar to the example Backbone gives on their website for USAToday).
Has anyone ever done this? It seems difficult due to Kentico's web framework. I'm sure it is possible to do, but at what cost? What functionality will be lost on the Kentico side? Will content managers still be able to change layout, rearrange webparts, add/delete webparts, update content within webparts, add/delete pages?
Any help or examples would be amazing! Thanks.
Kentico CMS comes with a RESTful API that is able to manipulate with all objects and documents in the system. So it's up to you what you implement on the client side. If you want to achieve push capabilities you will probably want to utilize SignalR (ASP.NET encapsulation of WebSockets). There is nice library that provides communication between Backbone.js and SignalR called Backbone.signalr. Last thing you should have a look at is a new system of events introduced in Kentico CMS 7 enabling to hook up to any document or object change.
