Welcome to the latest installment of the Ionic Bonds series, with regular updates on Ionic\u2019s Platform Services.<\/em><\/p>\n

The latest batch of updates for the Ionic Platform have landed, and I am very excited to introduce the new web client<\/a>! This new service module has a lot going for it: future-proofed ECMAScript 6 support, no dependencies, and it\u2019s all bundled as a single include for your app!<\/p>\n

We weren\u2019t happy with the way the ionic-service<\/code> components were being handled, and because a unifying update was in order, we decided to take it a step further. Not only is the entire Ionic Platform library housed in a single repository, we\u2019re leveraging the future of web standards with ECMAScript 6 (don\u2019t worry; no change is needed on your end). With the new Platform library, we\u2019ve set up a great foundation for future services and updates.

You told us you want things to be easy. Easy is good<\/em>.<\/p>\n

var push = new Ionic.Push();\npush.register(callback);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n

You may also notice the code above doesn\u2019t use Angular. Don\u2019t panic. All of the Angular factories you\u2019re accustomed to using with the Ionic Platform still exist; they\u2019re just not required<\/em> anymore.<\/p>\n
What you can expect<\/h3>\n
Quite a bit, actually. A lot of improvements are now live, and we think you’re going to love them. Here’s the short list:<\/p>\n
