Build Ionic apps in Meteor!

NOTE: This package is no longer being actively maintained.

If you are interested in maintaining it, contact me through my Github profile. Now that Meteor is officially supporting (and actively recommending) React and Angular, I suggest using Ionic, Ionic 2 or React-Ionic as alternatives for building hybrid mobile apps with Meteor.

Overview

This is an attempt at real Ionic and Meteor integration. This is not just Ionic's CSS framework wrapped in a Meteor package. It aims to be a complete port of Ionic’s Angular directives to Meteor Blaze templates.

Why?

Ionic is arguably the most comprehensive, polished, cross-platform mobile framework available. But unfortunately a large portion of its functionality comes from Angular directives. I'm not a fan of trying to force-fit Angular into Meteor, so I wanted to see if I could rewrite Ionic specifically for Meteor.

Getting started Guide

Check out the GUIDE.md for a guide on how to get started.

Status

Beta See the TODO section below to see which Angular Directives have been ported to Blaze.

Dependencies

Rather than include compiled or CDN versions of Ionic's CSS Framework we’ve extraced it into two separate packages:

• meteoric:ionicons-sass Ionic’s Ionicons set wrapped for Meteor.
• meteoric:ionic-sass The base Ionic CSS Framework wrapped for Meteor.

Examples
