Web app
In this section, we are going to build a web app that interfaces with our API engine. The web app is the primary interface with which we will be interacting with our smart devices.
We are going to build the web app using Angular (4) and Twitter Bootstrap (3). There is no rule that the interface should be built with Angular and Bootstrap; it can be built using jQuery or React.js as well. All we will be doing is interfacing with the APIs of the API engine using JavaScript from the browser. The only reason we are using Angular is to keep the framework consistent across all our apps. Since we will be using the Ionic framework, which also follows the Angular approach, things will be easy for us to manage as well as reuse.
