What is Hybrid?

In software engineering

Building GUI with web technology along with a native container, and allow it to access the wider functionality of the device and produce a more refined user experience

Why Hybrid is so popular?

  • More powerful than web. Possible to access low level functionality via native API
  • More flexible than native. Updates/refactor on UI is easy to achieve
  • Release cycle is shorter. No need to wait for approval from App Store
  • Development is more efficiency
  • Developer is easier to hire

Is Hybrid only for mobile?

No, basically desktop is covered as well.

#create app via ionic generator

ionic start ionic-app sidemenu
						
#add platform support

cd ionic-app
ionic platform add ios
ionic platform add android
						
#compile source

#debug

ionic emulate ios  --livereload #for ios
ionic run android  --livereload #for android

Try React Native

#install react-native

[sudo] npm install -g react-native-cli
						
#create app via react-native-cli

react-native init rnApp
						
#debug for ios

cd rnApp
open ios/rnApp.xcodeproj # open projcect via xcode
						
#debug for android

cd rnApp
react-native run-android

Try electron

#install generator-electron-naive

npm install -g generator-electron-naive #use sudo if you are on *nix OS
						
#create app via generator-electron-naive
yo electron-naive #answer following questions

✔ Project generated!!!

#godo test-project

cd test-project #the name might be different in you case
