Starting a new Ionic app is incredibly simple. From the command line, run the ionic start
command and the CLI will handle the rest.
The Ionic CLI will display prompts asking for the new project's name and which template to use. These details can be provided as command arguments:
$ ionic start myApp tabs
Here, myApp
is the name of the project, tabs
is the starter template, and the project type is angular
.
tabs
is not the only project template available. Between all project types, there are three templates available:
tabs
: A tabs based layoutsidemenu
: A sidemenu based layoutblank
: An empty project with a single page
See all available templates with the following command:
$ ionic start --list
These templates provide a great starting point for any app and include all the best practices for making a code base scale.
