Posted: April 21st, 2016 Author: Filed under: AngularJS, API, Ionic, Server Code, Tutorials, Video

Our friends at Ionic Framework published a very nice tutorial on how to build an Ionic app with an external API. We figured it would be a good idea to show how to build the same app in Appery.io. In this 8-minute video tutorial you will learn:

  1. How to build a simple Ionic (version 1).
  2. How to create a mobile backend for the app.
  3. How to invoke an external API.
  4. How to test the app in the browser.

The final app shows a list of people loaded from an external API:
