ionic: Create a new project.
$ ionic start
try on your machine

The ionic start command is used to create a new Ionic application.

When executed, it sets up a new project with the specified name and basic template files and folders. It automatically installs all the required dependencies and provides a starting point for building a mobile app using the Ionic framework.

Here is the basic syntax of the ionic start command:

ionic start <project-name> <template>
  • <project-name>: This is the name of the project you want to create. It should be a unique identifier for your app.
  • <template>: This optional argument allows you to specify a predefined template for your project. Ionic provides several starter templates such as "blank", "tabs", "sidemenu", etc. If not specified, it will default to the "blank" template.

For example, if you want to create a new Ionic project called "myapp" using the "tabs" template, you can use the following command:

ionic start myapp tabs

This will generate a new Ionic project with the necessary files and folders, along with the default tab-based template structure.
