Using Charts In Your Ionic Framework Mobile App

I’m always trying to add more flair to the mobile applications that I develop whether it be through slick user interfaces or graphics. For a while now I’ve wanted to mess around with charts in my mobile applications, but it kept getting pushed to my development back-burner. I decided to push myself to give it a shot. Using Ionic Framework to build mobile Android and iOS applications, you’re left with a few possibilities for adding charts because so many JavaScript libraries exist. In particular, we’re going to take a look at Chart.js and the AngularJS wrapper, Angular Chart. We’re going to look at this library because not only does it look great, but it plays nice with AngularJS which is what Ionic Framework is built upon. Unlike some of my other tutorials, this one can be tested in both the web browser and device or simulator. This is because we’re not going to be using any native plugins or libraries. It will be all JavaScript and CSS.
