## README
The best place to start with Ionic is our [documentation page](http://ionicframework.com/docs/).
Ionic currently best supports iOS 6+ and Android 4.1+, with scaled-down support for Android 2.3.
# What is Ionic?
Ionic is the open source HTML5 Mobile Framework for building amazing, cross-platform hybrid native apps with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.

We built Ionic because we wanted a framework that focused on building hybrid native apps, rather than mobile websites. We wanted this framework to be obsessive about great design and performance. A framework that left the past behind and focused on the future where mobile devices could make HTML5 feel native.
It's important to realize that Ionic is not a replacement for frameworks used for building mobile web apps. There are a lot
of great solutions that work well for websites, like [jQuery Mobile](http://jquerymobile.com/).
Ionic is also not a good solution if you need to support older generation devices. Our [compatibility](http://ionicframework.com/docs/#browser-support) *starts* at iOS 6 and Android 4.1. We will never support versions earlier than those. This is a framework for the future.

## Quick Start
To start using ionic, you have two options: copy over the built JS and CSS files, or
use the `ionic` tool ([ionic-cli](https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli)) which can be installed through npm:
```bash
$ sudo npm install -g ionic
```
Then, you can start a new ionic project by running:
```bash
$ ionic start myproject
```
### Manual Start
- Download the latest **stable** release from:
* The release folder of this repository
* The Ionic CDN: [Latest Release](http://code.ionicframework.com/)
* `bower install ionic`
- Download the **bleeding edge just-from-master release** from:
* The Ionic CDN: [Nightly Build](http://code.ionicframework.com/#nightly)
* Look in the [ionic-bower Repository](https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-bower) for the latest version, and do for example `bower install driftyco/ionic-bower#0.9.23-alpha-652` (`bower install ionic` will have the latest available soon)
Once you have a release, use `js/ionic.js`, `js/ionic-angular.js`, and `css/ionic.css`.
For most cases, you'll need AngularJS as well. This is bundled in `js/angular/` and `js/angular-ui-router/`.

## Development
* `npm install && npm install -g gulp protractor` to setup
* (if you wish to run end-to-end tests): `webdriver-manager update --chrome` to install the webdriver.
* `gulp` or `gulp build` to build
* `gulp docs` to generate docs (read Documentation below for how to test docs locally).
* `gulp build --release` to build with minification & strip debugs
* `gulp watch` to watch and rebuild on change
* `gulp karma` to test one-time
* `gulp karma-watch` to test and re-run on source change
* `gulp protractor` to test e2e tests locally
* `gulp cloudtest` to run e2e tests in the cloud
### Documentation
* To test documentation, follow these steps:
1. Clone ionic-site to `./tmp/ionic-site` - this is where the `gulp docs` task builds to. `./tmp` is the folder that travis uses to do all of its tasks.
- `mkdir tmp && git clone git@github.com:driftyco/ionic-site tmp/ionic-site`
2. Make jekyll rebuild whenever you change the site.
- `cd tmp/ionic-site && jekyll serve -w`
3. Go back to project root and build the docs
- `gulp docs`
4. Open localhost:4000 and see your changes! Re-run `gulp docs` again whenever you change something, and jekyll will update the site.
### Commit Conventions
* Uses http://github.com/ajoslin/conventional-changelog conventions
### Pushing New Release of Ionic
- Almost all of the logic for releasing Ionic is done on the Travis server
- To push a new release:
1. Update package.json version to new version
2. Update package.json codename to new codename
3. Generate changelog with `gulp changelog` and make sure it is OK
4. Commit these and push to master
- Travis will detect that this commit changed the version in package.json and push out all necessary for this new release (tags, release files, site config, ...)
