When developing mobile applications, developers usually take two approaches. One is to develop using a native technology like Java for Android and Objective-C for iOS. The second is to use HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, building a Web-accessible application on top of a common technology that almost all smartphones can access and render.
The latter is becoming more and more used, mainly because of the plethora of new mobile development frameworks that have hit the market, and especially because of the PhoneGap and Cordova projects that provide a simple API for working with various phone features.
ngCordova is for projects that use Apache Cordova and AngularJS, providing a set of AngularJS extensions specially crafted to help with developing mobile applications.
The extensions themselves tap into various Cordova API features and provide simple abstraction layers to interact with various phone features or help build common UI widgets.
Currently supported extensions will help with:
Console interactions
Device sniffing
Device motions
Device orientation
Camera controls
Status bar
Vibration controls
Network information
Geo-location
Dialog messages
Splash screens
Managing contacts
Bower support
File management
Globalization
Google Analytics
Local notifications
Pin dialog
PuSH notifications
Social sharing
Spinners
SQLite support
Toast mesages
Barcode scanning
