Abstract

The aim of the thesis was to develop a cross-platform hybrid mobile application for searching providers of student meals. The main functionality of the application is a quick and easy view of the nearest locations of restaurants with student food, depending on the user's current location. While describing the whole development of hybrid mobile applications, we are also describing three different types of development for mobile devices, the differences between them and the advantages and disadvantages of different types of mobile applications. Also the appearance and behaviour of the application and analysis of its usage usage is presented. Ionic framework has been used for client development, which is built on top of AngularJS for building web applications and Apache Cordova for creating hybrid mobile applications. The middle-tier has been developed in Node.js environment using LoopBack package. MongoDB was used for a database provider and Heroku for its hosting (also hosting the middle-tier). Ionic Analytics is used for the analysis of application usage.
