Ionic Lab

If your work implies developing mobile applications, you probably understand how important the right set of tools can be in simplifying your tasks.

On the bright side, nowadays there is a large selection of software solutions that can help you achieve adequate results. One of the utilities mentioned above is Ionic Lab.

Installing this application on your computer can be accomplished as easy as decompressing the contents of the archive file and launching the executable.

No additional configuration is required on your part, as the application is silently deployed to your system and executed at the end of the installation process.

Ionic Lab packs a tasteful design that encompasses various straightforward functions and organizes them in a neat manner, successfully combining aesthetics and efficiency.

Its main window features multiple buttons, but also packs various menus, where you can access many of its functions in a more traditional approach.

This application can help you generate cross-platform mobile applications, then emulate and run them directly on your computer. After you first launch it, you can either create a new project or open an existing one.

Building a new app requires you to type a name in the designated field, specify a suitable destination folder, enable Sass or Cordova and hit the Create App button. After you generate the application project, you need to install the appropriate platform.

Unfortunately, during our tests, we have noticed that installing the Android platform for multiple projects is not possible, as it can only be installed for one application at a time.

Ionic Lab packs an extensive collection of plugins that you can integrate into your applications by just clicking them in the dedicated list. Among the entries mentioned above, you can find Ionic Keyboard, Camera, Console, Contacts, Device Motion, Geolocation, Globalization, Media Capture, Splashscreen and Whitelist.

More so, if you need to preview your application, you only need to start the server and your project is automatically displayed in the corresponding section. It is possible to view a comparison between iOS and Android previews, as well.

Ionic Lab is an advanced utility that can help you generate Ionic cross-platform mobile applications, emulate and run them, according to your needs. It features a stylish user interface that packs multiple intuitive features and an extensive plugin collection. However, it does not support installing the Android platform for more than one project at the same time.
