Ionic Framework and Mobile Web

Question

The problem: build a somewhat complex form that submits data to MySQL+PHP back-end. Requirements include:

• Accessible from browsers running on mobiles, tablets and desktops
• Must be completely platform independent; works well on Edge, Safari, Chrome, and other modern browsers.
• Must be implemented so that in the future, native versions can be implemented using the same code-base.

Based on my research, Ionic seems to be the best fit. However, I don't see anything about using Ionic for web-apps on their official website.

Questions:

1. Can Ionic be used to meet the above requirements? If yes, what is the best way to use Ionic for web-apps? Is there an official guideline from Ionic for this?
2. How else would you go about meeting the above requirements if not using Ionic?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Ionic is built for developing mobile apps / progressive web apps. If you are looking for something which can be accesses through browsers Angular is the best option. Progressive web apps also will be something you can look into. Except for native functionalities in mobile and routing in browsers , angular code will be reusable.
