Chapter 2 - Create Ionic Application

In the last chapter, we learned how to install Ionic. In this chapter, we will learn how to create a new Ionic application.

1. Create new Ionic project

Open command prompt/terminal at the directory where you want to create the app, then run:

1
$ ionic start "my-app" blank

It is going to create a folder called “my-app” with essential files and then install all the essential packages. This process will take several minutes.

2. Run the app in browser

After everything is done, cd into the folder:

1
$ cd my-app

Then run the app:

1
$ ionic serve

It will start up the app in your browser. This process will also takes several minutes. Now you have your first app running!
