Mobile Development with Ionic, React Native, and JHipster

Mobile Development with Ionic, React Native, and JHipster

Mobile development offers a lot of options. To develop native apps, you can use Java or Kotlin on Android. On iOS, you can use Objective C or Swift. There are other options, too. You can build hybrid mobile apps and Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). Hybrid mobile apps are those created with web technologies (HTML, JavaScript, and CSS) that look like native apps. PWAs have the ability to work offline and act like mobile apps too.

As a web developer, I enjoy using the technologies I know and love to create mobile apps. In this screencast, I show you how to use JHipster and its Ionic and React Native modules to create a health tracking application.

The code created in this screencast can be found on GitHub in mraible/mobile-jhipster. If you’d like to try and re-create the apps yourself, you can follow my demo steps.

I recently delivered this screencast as a talk at AllTheTalks. You can find my presentation slides below.
