#Ionic Gulp boilerplate Ionic application boilerplate for Gulp and ES6

##Features

• ES6 instead of ES5
• SCSS instead of CSS
• Automatic compilation
• Livereload
• Development build with source maps
• Automatic bower components injection
• Automatic scripts and stylesheets injection

##Usage

##Installation process

For the first you need to install Node packages by running:

npm install

after that install bower components by running

bower install

Both bower and npm must be installed globally at your local machine.

You are ready to start the server.

###Running the App during Development This command automatically compiles ES6 to ES5, scss, injects bower components, generates source maps, starts livereload server and opens your app in the browser.

gulp serve

###Mobile app When your app is interesting enough to be tested on mobile device, create a build.

Don't forget to compile from sources:

gulp

And then we can create the build for iOS:

ionic build ios

and even test it, if you use OS X:

ionic emulate ios

More info about builds, including Android, can be found in Ionic tutorial.

One more interesting feature Ionic has: Ionic View. It's amazing thing and I recommend you to try it - pretty simple to use and saves tones of time for debug and testing on real devices. To start, just run:

ionic upload
