The Ionic Popup service makes it easy to programatically create and show popup windows that require the user to respond in order to continue: The popup system has support for nicer versions of the built in alert() prompt() and confirm() functions you are used to in the browser, but with more powerful support for customizing input types in the case of prompt, or customizing the look of the window. But the true power of the Popup is when a built-in popup just won't cut it. Luckily, the popup window has full support for arbitrary popup content, and a simple promise-based system for returning data entered by the user.
