Trying to do ng generate component in my cli but it is saying Unable to find any apps in `.angular-cli.json`

Question

I am working with angular 4, firebase and ionic 3 for my app. I am trying to ng generate component login in my command line but it says Unable to find any apps in .angular-cli.json . I have a package.json in my folder, but how do i add .angular-cli.json. This is what I have in my folder. Do you think it is because I am using ionic serve and not ng serve?

Answer 1

You should use Ionic Cli which you would have installed using npm i -g ionic

It does not have angular-cli.json to use angular cli on the project

To generate page do:

ionic g page login

For a component:

ionic g component login
