The acetate groups are comprised of covalent bonds, but they are ionically bonded with the calcium.
Ammonium acetate is an ionic compound. It is formed from the ionic bond between the positively charged NH4+ ion (ammonium) and the negatively charged CH3COO- ion (acetate).
Acetate ions have both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between the positively charged cation and the negatively charged acetate ion is ionic, while the bonds within the acetate ion itself (between carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms) are covalent.
Zinc acetate is an ionic compound. It is formed from the ionic bond between zinc cations (Zn2+) and acetate anions (CH3COO-).
Sodium acetate is an ionic compound. It is composed of sodium ions (Na+) and acetate ions (CH3COO-) held together by ionic bonds resulting from the transfer of electrons between the atoms.
LiCH3COO contains both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between lithium (Li) and acetate ion (CH3COO) is ionic, while the bonds within the acetate ion itself (between carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms) are covalent.
of course it is ionic what else could it be?

No, Covalent
Lithium acetate (CH3COOLi) is an ionic compound.
Calcium phosphate ) Ca3(PO4)2 The calcium cations are ionically bonded to the phosphate anions. 3Ca^(2+) + 2PO4^(3-) The calcium cations have an overall charges of 3 x 2(+) = 6(+) This '6+' MUST be balanced against a '6-' charge on the phosphate anions. Hence we have 2 x -3 =-6 , to balance the charges. However, with in the phosphate anion the four oxygen atoms are covalently bonded to the phosphorus atom. This leaves three 'spare' electrons for ionic bonding to the calcium cation.
Yes, it contains both. The sodium forms an ionic bond with the one oxygen with a single bond (not double) with the carbon, becoming the cation (positive charge). This oxygen and all other atoms in the acetate form covalent bonds.
