# Demo

The purpose of this application is to provide an Angular CLI application where Ionic Core components can be tested in a simple manner. This application allows the developer to experiment with interactions between Angular and Ionic in an easy and safe manner.

## Getting started

**Note:** This application now uses the last published `@ionic/core` package. To test against changes that you have made locally to core use `npm link` (see below). 

To use _this_ application perform the following commands from this directory:

- `npm i`
- `npm start` - to serve the application
- `npm test` - to run the unit tests
- `npm run e2e` - to run the end to end tests

See the `package.json` file for a complete list of script. The above are just the most common.

## Running the Angular CLI

This application installs the Angular CLI locally so you do not need to have it installed globally. You can use `npm` to run any of the `ng` commands. For example:

- `npm run ng build -- --prod` - run a production build
- `npm run ng g component my-cool-thing`

## Testing Local Changes

In order to test local core changes, use `npm link` as such:

1. In `packages/core`, run `npm run build`
2. In `packages/core`, run `npm link`
3. In `packages/angular/demo`, run `npm link @ionic/core`
