Writing an Android app with Ionic React
Blog post from LogRocket
The text explains how to develop a mobile recipe app for Android using the Ionic framework and React, leveraging React skills to create mobile applications. It begins with setting up the development environment by installing the Ionic CLI and creating a blank Ionic app with Capacitor, a cross-platform native runtime. The app's main component, App.tsx, is configured for routing, while Home.tsx is designed to manage and display a list of recipes using Capacitor's storage library for asynchronous data handling. The RecipeForm.tsx component is responsible for adding and editing recipes, integrating a photo-taking feature via the useCamera hook. The app is structured to allow navigation between pages, with features for adding, editing, and deleting recipes using a basic interface supported by an IonList and buttons. The text concludes with instructions on running the app on an Android emulator like Genymotion and highlights the flexibility of Ionic in utilizing React for mobile app development.
