What are the different platform styles available? Can we add a new platforms/styles?



  • Hello,

    I’m trying to choose an hybrid framework to build an app across 3 platforms:

    • Android
    • iOS
    • Web

    For instance, Weex does have 3 styles for each components they provide. Is it the same for Onsen UI?
    We do not want to be limited to 2 styles only as we know the Web style will be neither material or iOS style.

    1/ Is there a way to create our own ‘platform’ in Onsen and can we provide our own style for this platform?
    2/ How does Onsen chooses the style for the Web style?
    3/ Does Onsen chooses the iOS style for Safari/Chrome on a MacOS or does it uses material then?
    4/ Can we test the app without building the apk/ios app? Can we just npm run dev and test on a browser and then select one of the 3 styles?
    5/ Finally, can we override built-in styles?

    Thanks!
