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 scripts. 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 changes they need to be copied into node_modules after the initial npm i

In packages/core, run npm run build
In packages/demos/angular, run rm -rf node_modules/\@ionic/core/dist
In packages/demos/angular, run cp -r ../../core/dist node_modules/\@ionic/core/dist

Use a similar procedure if you want to test local changes to @ionic/angular
