There is plenty of documentation on the Ionic framework, along with plenty of guides to AngularJS (which Ionic currently requires for its JS components). Thanks to this and a simple SDK, it is easy to get a quick prototype completed. However, when learning how to develop with Ionic, there were a bunch of little things which I was still uncertain about how to approach correctly. Often the info existed somewhere but it took a bit of hunting around the web (or trialling a few solutions) to uncover.
In this article, I wanted to provide an overview of some of the most useful things I uncovered, in the hope that it helps new developers get their own apps up and running faster.
