Introduction
Did you know that you can write mobile applications with great user interfaces that are cross-platform — supporting Android, iOS, and Microsoft phones and tablets — with just HTML, JavaScript, and CSS?That's right, times are changing and it is easier than ever with Visual Studio Community Edition's Ionic templates which are free. Believe it or not, Visual Studio is ahead of the game for Ionic development under Windows providing a first-class IDE with excellent stock projects that run on mobile devices out-of-the-box.
Code Samples
Below are the complete code samples of the Ionic project files modified in the tutorial.index.html

</ion-content>
</ion-pane>
</body>
</html> angular.module('starter', ['ionic'])
.run(function($ionicPlatform) {
$ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
if(cordova.platformId === 'ios' && window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
// Hide the accessory bar by default (remove this to show the accessory bar above the keyboard
// for form inputs)
cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
// Don't remove this line unless you know what you are doing. It stops the viewport
// from snapping when text inputs are focused. Ionic handles this internally for
// a much nicer keyboard experience.
cordova.plugins.Keyboard.disableScroll(true);
}
if(window.StatusBar) {
StatusBar.styleDefault();
}
});
}).controller('HomeCtr', function ($scope) {
$scope.message = "Okay are you going to click a button?";
}); Conclusion
I hope you've found this tutorial for developing cross-platform mobile apps helpful. Best wishes for your mobile app development projects.
