More and more business owners are inclining towards creating the apps for mobile devices due to the increasing trend of e-shopping through mobile devices which have ruled the global market. With the introduction of the mobile app development platforms. Like React Native & Ionic or Hybrid app, there seems to be a perplexing state of mind for the eCommerce business owners whether to opt for a React Native or Ionic for their online store mobile application development. Here is a comparative analysis to help you in taking decision for the selection of the right platform according to your requirements. Definitional difference between React Native & Ionic Apps: React Native: This platform was introduced by facebook and was meant for the cross- platform development of an application for mobile devices. With React Native, you just need a sound code base to create an interactive app for both the platforms- Android and iOS. Ionic: It is an open source SDK for the development of a hybrid mobile application. This platform was originally introduced in 2013 and it was built on Angular JS and Apache Cordova. What you will require to build a hybrid mobile application is a complete knowledge of CSS, HTML5, and Sass. How the apps are built on Ionic & React Native: Ionic: Ionic is rich in terms of web and native app components for creating an engaging app. You will need only single code base to create a cross- platform application which will function quite smooth on Android or iOS devices. You are offered 120 native devices features and more at your options with the help of the Cordova/PhoneGap plugins and TypeScript extensions. The condes here need to be written only once, then they can be executed anywhere Page 2
React Native: The React Native app is built using JavaScript library for building user interfaces and you can build a highly interactive mobile app with the core knowledge of the blend of JavaScript and HTML syntax- or JSX. What is advantageous in case of React Native is the React Native app will function exactly like the app built using Object-C or Swift or Java. You can also build a part of an app with React Native and the remaining with the native code. What is better – React Native or Ionic? The answer to this question depends more on your choice and you can always go accordingly but the root intent behind every mobile app development is the end-user experience. The better the experience a user gets from an app, the more likely are the chances of getting extra mile returns from the app and the investment you have made after development. When we talk about the UX, it simply implies, Ease of navigation Speedier in functioning The inclusion of the core functionalities like camera, GPS, address book, etc. And advanced level user-interface. These all features are well performed and taken to consideration when we build app on react native. On the other hand, the Hybrid apps have the WebView as the limiting factor in a sense. Ionic apps need HTML5 as its programming language. The HTML5 framework always works with the help of Cordova or PhoneGap. Therefore, while developing an Ionic/hybrid mobile app, you need to integrate both Cordova and PhoneGap. However, Ionic can be attributed with the following benefits: As Ionic is basically dependent on platform, it can go well with HTML, CSS, JS, or Angular JS. Page 3
You can develop a default mobile app with intuitive UI/UX functionalities with ease and effectively Code Language used in Ionic is Typescript which compiles simple and clear JS on any browser. Whereas the coding language of React Native is JSX which is a syntax extension optimizing the code while compiling the code to JS. In case of Ionic, it would be easier for the developers as it has more pre- developed & pre-styled components. Whereas it will not be so in case of React Native as there are very few or no pre-developed components. Considering the above technical aspects, you should decide on the basis of the following facts: Page 4
Conclusion: Wrapping up the above discussion, in brief, it would be wiser to evaluate your requirements list first and then to decide the platform for your app development. But the fact remains the same as if you need a highly interactive app with some advanced and sophisticated features like animations, you must definitely go for the React Native.
