Developing cross-platform mobile applications and connecting to 3rd-party APIs are highly in-demand skills in tech. Today I’ll show you how to build a basic Ionic mobile application that connects to the Vonage SMS API to send SMS messages!

We’ll also build a barebones hapi back end to help our Ionic application send SMS messages.

Prerequisites

To get started, you’ll need:

• An awesome IDE like Visual Studio Code, WebStorm or Sublime Text
• The latest LTS version of Node.js

Vonage API Account

To complete this tutorial, you will need a  Vonage API account. If you don’t have one already, you can  sign up today and start building with free credit. Once you have an account, you can find your API Key and API Secret at the top of the  Vonage API Dashboard.
