Ionic App Framework Development

Authentication is a key component for your app, and there are some different approaches that you can take.

If you already have an API or backend that handles user authentication, or if you are one of those who like to have strict control over the backend implementation, then this may be your option.

Mobile apps require a different authentication strategy than web apps or websites. You don’t have sessions so you have to go with the token based authentication. For my clients production apps I use Strongloop. Basically is a platform that enables you to easily build custom API’s for your backend needs. It comes with token based authentication and an AngularJS SDK that works smoothly in your Ionic app. (You can read more about how easy is to manage users in this post “Managing users with StrongLoop”)
