# Ionic 2: Alpha
Ionic 2 is the next generation of [Ionic](http://ionicframework.com/), the open-source mobile app development SDK that makes it easy to build top quality mobile apps with web technologies.
Ionic 2 is based on the new [2.x version of AngularJS](https://angular.io/), and comes with many significant performance, usability, and feature improvements.
See [Adam Bradley](http://twitter.com/adamdbradley)'s [Building apps with Ionic 2](http://adamdbradley.github.io/building-with-ionic2) slides for a quick overview of Ionic 2.
### Try Ionic 2
To try Ionic 2 today, visit the [Ionic 2 Docs](http://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/). We would love any feedback you have or to know when you encounter issues, by filing an issue report on this repo.
### Ionic 2 Examples
There are a few real Ionic 2 apps in the wild. The most complete is the [Ionic Conference App](https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-conference-app), a perfect starting point for building your own conference app.
We are also building out a number of starter projects, including the Ionic 2 starter:

### Tooling
At the moment, ionic-framework exports one function, `generate`, that can be used to scaffold new pages in an Ionic app. It is used by the [Ionic CLI's](https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli) `generate` command.
#### Methods
`generate(config)`
Creates the js, html, and scss file for a new page, based on the supplied [Generator](#generators).
- **config** (Object) Config object, with the following options:
- `appDirectory` - root directory of the Ionic project
- `generator` - which [generator](#generators) to use, default is `page`.
- `name` - the name of the component to generate.
Example:
```
var ionic = require('ionic-framework');
ionic.generate({ appDirectory: process.cwd(), generator: 'tabs', name: 'MyTabsPage' })
```
#### Generators
- `page`, a blank page
- `tabs`, a page with tab navigation
