INSTALL.md

Installation guide

1. First we need to install a couple of packages:

   npm install --save-dev webpack-merge
   npm install --save-dev cross-env
   npm install --save deepmerge
   

2. Create config directory config/
3. Put this file webpack.config.js inside that directory
4. Make a directory for your environment files src/environments/
5. Put my sample environment files in it
6. Now we need to make Ionic know about your custom webpack config file. Open package.json. If you don't have a "config" section add the following line:

   "config": {
     "ionic_webpack": "./config/webpack.config.js"
   },  
   

   If you do have an existing config section, add that specific line to it
7. Also in the package.json file, add some script aliases. These are easier to type commands to build with your custom configs than typing them out each time. For my sample config files, add these to the end of the "scripts" block:

   "cordova:build:dev": "cross-env NODE_ENV=dev ionic cordova build ios",
   "cordova:build:uat": "cross-env NODE_ENV=uat ionic cordova build ios",
   "cordova:build:prod": "cross-env NODE_ENV=prod ionic cordova build ios --prod",
   "ionic:serve:dev": "NODE_ENV=dev npm run ionic:serve",
   "ionic:serve:uat": "NODE_ENV=uat npm run ionic:serve",
   "ionic:serve:prod": "NODE_ENV=prod npm run ionic:serve",
   

8. All done, you're ready to go!
