Darshan Hiranandani : Can I Use Ionic Without Its UI Components?

Ionic Framework
1

Hi everyone,

I’m Darshan Hiranandani, working on a project with Ionic, but I’m not using any of its UI components. I know it might sound like an odd question, but will Ionic still work properly for building mobile apps (and web apps) if I don’t use the provided UI components?

I want to stick with Ionic, but I’m considering switching my UI components if needed. I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether this approach will work or if there are any potential issues to be aware of.

Thanks in advance for your insights!
Regards
Darshan Hiranandani

I think you mean Capacitor. Ionic and Capacitor are two different things. Ionic is the framework that provides UI components. Capacitor is what allows you deploy your JS app as a native app.

To answer your question, you don’t need to use Ionic to use Capacitor.
