Ionic is a combination of a powerful mobile CSS framework and a bunch of awesome AngularJS directives and services. With these, the time taken to market any idea is quite minimal. The Ionic CSS framework consists of most of the components you need to build an app.
To test-drive the available CSS components, we will scaffold a blank starter template and then add the visual components of Ionic.
Before we start scaffolding, we will create a new folder named chapter3, and scaffold all the examples from this chapter in that folder.
Note
In this chapter, we will be scaffolding one app per component to understand it better. If you want, you can use one app for all the examples.
To scaffold a blank app, run this:
ionic start -a "Example 5" -i app.example.five example5 blank
