In this section, we will build our mobile companion app using the Ionic framework (http://ionicframework.com/). The output or the example would be the same as what we have done for the web and desktop app.

To get started, we will install the latest version of ionic and cordova by running the following command:

npm install -g ionic cordova  

Now, we need the mobile app base. If you have not already cloned the book's code repository, you can do so using the following command (anywhere on your machine):

git clone [email protected]:PacktPublishing/Practical-Internet-of-Things-with-JavaScript.git

or you can download the zip file from https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Practical-Internet-of-Things-with-JavaScript as well.

Once the repository has been downloaded, cd into the base folder and make a copy of mobile-app-base folder...
