我们应该使用yeoman generator-ionic吗？

Question

It has been first time I use generator-ionic for building an ionic project (before just ionic start myApp blank ) and it has been disappointing.

I ran:

mkdir ionic-generator-test && cd $_
yo ionic
npm install && bower install
grunt serve

After few minutes browser opens and on the console I found:

Error: $injector:nomod Module Unavailable Module 'starter' is not available! You either misspelled the module name or forgot to load it. If registering a module ensure that you specify the dependencies as the second argument.

Problem is that app.js file is not loaded. Path in HTML file is wrong:

<script src="scripts/app.js"></script>

Should be

<script src="js/app.js"></script>

Such simple and big error and last update of the generator was on Dec 29, 2015 (commit c5eb207).

Do you think ionic-generator is reliable?

Answer 1

ionic-generator is a well known and used Yeoman Template. Another popular template is generator-m-ionic , which uses Gulp and has regular updates.

On the git hub page , it looks like generator-ionic is not receiving many upddates.
