Ionic UI components ported to Meteor Blaze templates for building hybrid mobile apps.
Meteor-Ionic is a Meteor package that ports Ionic's Angular directives to Meteor Blaze templates, enabling developers to build cross-platform hybrid mobile apps using Ionic's polished UI components within Meteor's reactive ecosystem. It provides seamless integration of Ionic's mobile UI framework without requiring Angular, allowing Meteor developers to leverage Ionic's comprehensive component library directly in Blaze templates. The project solves the problem of integrating Ionic's feature-rich mobile framework into Meteor applications while maintaining Meteor's native development patterns.
Meteor developers who want to build hybrid mobile apps for iOS and Android using Ionic's UI components but prefer to use Meteor's Blaze templating system instead of Angular. It is also suitable for teams already invested in Meteor's reactive data system who need a polished mobile UI framework without introducing Angular dependencies.
Developers choose Meteor-Ionic because it offers a native Meteor integration of Ionic, avoiding the overhead and complexity of forcing Angular into Meteor projects. Its unique selling point is the complete port of Ionic's Angular directives to Blaze templates, providing a seamless experience that leverages Meteor's reactivity and Cordova support while delivering Ionic's polished mobile UI components.

Rewrites Ionic's Angular directives specifically for Meteor Blaze, avoiding Angular dependencies and ensuring seamless compatibility with Meteor's reactive data system, as emphasized in the philosophy.
Provides Ionic's comprehensive UI components like action sheets, modals, and side menus, styled with Ionic's CSS framework for building cross-platform iOS and Android apps, as shown in the examples.
Integrates with Cordova for native device features and works with Iron Router for navigation, offering a complete setup for hybrid mobile app development, as listed in the key features.
Aims to be a complete port of Ionic's functionality to Blaze, evidenced by the detailed TODO list and examples, rather than just a superficial CSS package.
The project is explicitly marked as no longer actively maintained, with the author recommending alternatives, posing a significant risk for production use and future updates.
Key Ionic components like lists with edit/remove/sort, events, and gestures are not fully implemented, limiting the framework's comprehensiveness and usability for complex apps.
Built for Meteor Blaze, which is less supported since Meteor's shift towards React and Angular, reducing its future relevance and ecosystem alignment.
