How to convert from Flutter to Ionic + Angular

Converting from Flutter to Ionic + Angular can appear daunting at first, but with a systematic approach, it becomes manageable. Below, we will delve into the key steps and considerations, optimized for those proficient in Flutter but not as experienced with Ionic and Angular.

Understanding the Differences Between Flutter and Ionic + Angular

Before diving into the technical aspects, it's essential to understand the fundamental differences between Flutter and Ionic + Angular:

Framework: Flutter is a UI toolkit based on the Dart programming language. On the other hand, Ionic is a hybrid framework using HTML, CSS, and Angular for mobile and web apps.
Components: Flutter uses its own custom widgets, while Ionic uses standard web technologies along with customizable components.
State Management: Flutter often utilizes systems like Provider or Bloc, whereas Angular applications leverage RxJS and services.

Setting Up the Ionic + Angular Project

The first step in conversion is to set up a new Ionic + Angular project. You need to have Node.js and npm installed on your system to proceed.

npm install -g @ionic/cli
ionic start myApp blank --type=angular
cd myApp

Migrating UI Components

In Flutter, UI components are primarily created using widgets. In Ionic + Angular, we rely on HTML templates and Angular components.

Converting Flutter Widgets to Ionic Components

Consider a simple Flutter widget:

class MyWidget extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      color: Colors.blue,
      child: Text('Hello Flutter'),
    );
  }
}

The equivalent in Ionic + Angular would be:

<ion-content>
  <div style="background-color: blue; color: white;">
    Hello Ionic + Angular
  </div>
</ion-content>

This HTML structure utilizes Ionic's ion-content which is akin to Flutter's Container.

Handling Navigation

Flutter uses a Navigator for route management, whereas Ionic + Angular use Angular Router for navigation.

Converting Flutter Navigator Routes

Example Flutter code:

Navigator.push(
  context,
  MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => SecondScreen()),
);

Equivalent code in Ionic + Angular:

First, define your routes in app-routing.module.ts:

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: '',
    component: HomePage
  },
  {
    path: 'second-screen',
    component: SecondScreenComponent
  }
];

Next, navigate programmatically with Angular Router:

import { Router } from '@angular/router';

constructor(private router: Router) {}

this.router.navigate(['/second-screen']);

State Management Conversion

In Flutter, state management can vary widely (e.g., using setState, Provider, or Bloc). In Angular, state is often managed using services and RxJS for reactive programming.

Converting a Simple State Management

Consider this Flutter code to increase a counter:

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  int _counter = 0;

  void _incrementCounter() {
    setState(() {
      _counter++;
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text("Flutter Counter"),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: <Widget>[
            Text("$_counter", style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headline4)
          ],
        ),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: _incrementCounter,
        tooltip: "Increment",
        child: Icon(Icons.add),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Equivalent Angular code would look like this:

Create a service counter.service.ts:

import { BehaviorSubject } from 'rxjs';

export class CounterService {
  private counter = new BehaviorSubject(0);
  currentCounter = this.counter.asObservable();

  incrementCounter() {
    this.counter.next(this.counter.value + 1);
  }
}

Use the service in the component:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { CounterService } from './counter.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-home',
  template: `
    <ion-header>
      <ion-toolbar>
        <ion-title>Ionic Counter</ion-title>
      </ion-toolbar>
    </ion-header>
    <ion-content>
      <div class="ion-padding">
        <h2>{{ counter }}</h2>
        <ion-fab>
          <ion-fab-button (click)="increment()">
            <ion-icon name="add"></ion-icon>
          </ion-fab-button>
        </ion-fab>
      </div>
    </ion-content>
  `
})
export class HomePage {
  counter: number;

  constructor(private counterService: CounterService) {
    this.counterService.currentCounter.subscribe(
      counter => this.counter = counter
    );
  }

  increment() {
    this.counterService.incrementCounter();
  }
}

Conclusion

Converting from Flutter to Ionic + Angular involves a series of straightforward but detailed steps. By understanding the components, navigation, and state management practices in both frameworks, you can adeptly migrate your existing Flutter application into an Ionic + Angular project. While the tools and syntax may differ, the underlying principles of building reactive, user-friendly applications remain consistent.
