Ionic: package.json missing start script - ionic-framework

Question

My package.json doesn't have a start script, so npm start will not work.
My package.json looks like
{
"name": "ionic-hello-world",
"author": "Ionic Framework",
"homepage": "http://ionicframework.com/",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"build": "ionic-app-scripts build",
"watch": "ionic-app-scripts watch",
"serve:before": "watch",
"emulate:before": "build",
"deploy:before": "build",
"build:before": "build",
"run:before": "build"
},
"dependencies": {
"#angular/common": "2.2.1",
"#angular/compiler": "2.2.1",

}
],

}
What should the start script contain?

Answer 1

From what I have found, Ionic projects do not use a start script in the package.json, so npm start is not needed.
use ionic start to create a new project and ionic serve to run the project during development as described in the Getting Started Guide.
There are other commands to build, deploy and package your project when needed, make sure to check the ionic documentation for how to do these the 'Ionic way'
