Summary

Ionic React has been launched in beta, marking a significant expansion of the Ionic Framework, which was previously paired exclusively with Angular. This release enables developers to build cross-platform hybrid apps using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, while leveraging the stability and skills associated with the web. Ionic React offers around 70 UI components such as buttons, cards, and modals, which facilitate the creation of mobile applications and can be used with existing React build tools and CLI. This development aligns with Ionic’s broader strategy to support various frameworks, including Vue, and highlights its commitment to the web platform as an alternative to native app development. The Ionic team encourages feedback from its community to refine this integration, while also exploring potential synergies with React Native.
