- Autoprefixer
-
-
-
- Autoprefixer
- {' '}
- is a tool that adds vendor-specific-prefixes to hand-written Sass/CSS code. This ensures that standardized CSS rules
- you write will be applied across all supporting browsers. For example, instead of having to know every flexbox
- syntax used by various browsers, autoprefixer allows you to just write display: flex;
and it'll
- automatically plug in the correct CSS.

-
-
- Bundling
-
-
- Bundling is the process of taking an app's dependencies (code you've written plus any npm modules installed) and
- compiling/transpiling them down to one single file.

-
-
- Capacitor
-
-
-
- Capacitor
- {' '}
- is an open source cross-platform app runtime that allows web-based apps to run natively on iOS, Android, Electron,

- CLI
-
-
- A CLI, or Command-Line Interface, is a text-based interface for
- interacting with a program. The common command-line app for a Mac user is the Terminal app, and Windows users often
- use Command Prompt. The Ionic community often uses this term to refer to{' '}
- Ionic's CLI. Ionic's CLI can be used for a number of things,
- such as creating production builds of an app, running the development server, and accessing{' '}

- enable the same functionality but are built into the browser. CSS Variables are available in all evergreen browsers.
-
-
-
-
-
- Decorators
-
-
- Decorators are expressions that return a function. They allow you to take an existing function, and extend its
- behavior. With TypeScript, you can also decorate classes and parameters. When you decorate a{' '}
- class, you are wrapping and extending the behavior of its constructor. In other words, the
- decorator will add some functionality when the constructor is called, and will then return the original constructor.
- When you decorate a parameter, you are wrapping the argument that gets passed in for that
- parameter. The decorator will add functionality when an argument is passed to the method, and then return the
- original argument.

- ES5
-
-
- ES5 refers to EcmaScript 5th Edition. A simple way to put it is that ES5 is the version of JavaScript which
- developers are most familiar with today.
-
-
-
-
-
- ES2015/ES6
-
-
- A wide range of new features were introduced in this version of JavaScript, including classes, modules, iterators,
- and promises. Evergreen browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge) have full support for ES6, but to use ES6
- features in older browsers, tools such as Babel and TypeScript have
- to transpile ES6 code down to ES5.
-
-
-
-
-
- ES2016/ES7
-
-
- This version of JavaScript added a number of new features to the language, including Array.includes
and

-
-
-
-
-
- ES2017/ES8
-
-
- This version of JavaScript is the latest standard. It is currently in the final stage before becoming the new
- official standard. This spec includes Async/Await (already in all evergreen browsers) and shared memory/atomics.

-
-
-
-
-
- ES Modules
-
-
-
- ES Modules
- {' '}
- brings the concept of modules natively to JavaScript. With modules, classes and variables are no longer in the

-
-
-
- TypeScript
-
-
-

- {' '}
- is a superset of JavaScript, which means it gives you JavaScript, along with a number of extra features such as{' '}
-

- {' '}
- and{' '}
-
- interfaces
-
- . Although Ionic is built with TypeScript, using it to build an Ionic app is completely optional.
