How can I configure sass with ionic. - ionic-framework

I am using the default ionic seed application, I have ran the setup
command ionic setup sass.
I run ionic serve, this should be watching for sass changes but it's not.
I tried to run gulp watch but I am getting an error.Error: Cannot find module 'semver'


Try using sudo ionic setup sass
You might not have had sufficient security privileges, thus not allowing sass to be setup properly. Using sudo will allow the user to act as a superuser and let sass setup correctly.
This worked for me.


First you need to run this command ionic setup sass when you run this command create a scss folder in www folder in scss folder here is style.scss file.
and #import this file in scss/ionic.app.scss path.
#import "www/scss/style.scss" in scss/ionic.app.scss path.
Try this I hope this is work for you.


Please delete the 'node_modules' folder in the project directory and re-run
'npm install'. This worked for me .


Make sure you have changed your index.html to include the relevant css files, as the one previously will no longer be used if you want to use the .min.css one generated by sass.


If removing the node_modules and running npm install doesn't work you can try installing gulp then install sass
npm install -g gulp
ionic setup sass


You can use sass via Ruby:
Install Ruby
Install Sass: npm install -g node-sass
On ionic project (v2) type: npm rebuild node-sass
So whenever you touch sass file(s), you can just rebuild the sass: npm rebuild node-sass if not, it's OK, just continue normal ionic serve
Remark: ionic2 requires sass


Using Sass in ionic project
if you are using windows node cli. goto in your project by
c:\projectname
after
c:\projectname>ionic setup sass
done
http://ionicframework.com/docs/cli/sass.html


Try this. It will setup the sass in your ionic project.
ionic setup sass
If gulp is not setup then run this command first
npm install gulp -g

Missing Module in gulpfile 'clone-stats'

I am working with ionic and my ionic build android command isn't working.
The error message I get is "Uh oh! Looks like you're missing a module in your gulp file: Cannot find module 'clone-stats'
Do you need to run 'npm install'?
I highlighted my steps in the image below:
I have no idea what 'clone-stats' is and why it is missing. It was working yesterday.
I have tried to reinstall ionic. I tried npm install -g. I tried removing and adding the android platform back. ionic serve gives me the same error.
I am not familiar with gulp. Does anybody know the problem?
Thanks.

You have required to install 'clone-stats' module.
open terminal
go to your project folder and type npm install clone-stats.
if you facing permission error then use sudo npm install clone-stats
hope it's work for you..

Ionic CLI not updating on MAC

I have been trying to update Ionic CLI, I can use the install from NPM and it says it is installing version 2, but if I run Ionic --v it returns 1.7.15. I am guessing it is installed locally, but not sure how I can remove it to let it use the updated global one. I have tried manually deleting from the user node_modules and that. Any ideas?

You should just be able to run npm install -g ionic#2.2.2 in terminal and it will update the global version of ionic.
If that doesn't work then just remove ionic (npm uninstall -g ionic) and install again using the command above.

Ionic 1.x - from bower to npm

I used to install plugins in my ionic 1 project with bower. The new trend, especially with ionic 2, is to install packages with npm. Some core packages, such as ionic.cloud are not provided at all anymore with bower, even for ionic 1.x.
So I need to migrate some packages to npm. What is the recommended way to do so ?
My problem:
"npm install" seems to install packages in the "my_project/node_modules" folder, unlike bower which installs packages directly in my_project/www/lib/
As explained for instance in the installation guide of ionic.cloud this requires an additional step to copy the newly installed npm package in the lib folder with the command:
cp node_modules/#ionic/cloud/dist/bundle/ionic.cloud.min.js www/lib
However, when I update the package and run "npm update", this will update the node_modules folder, but not the lib folder. This is a problem as only the files from my lib folder are included in my index.html.
Running the cp-command after each npm update does not seem such an elegant solution. What is the recommended way to deal with this?

I think you can reverse this make the .bowerrc file create your packages inside the node_modules folder and use this path as default. Otherwise the node_modules is mandatory there is no way around creating it.
Even you can npm i --prefix ./bower_components/ <package> you still need to cp to folders up from bower_components folder

Ionic framework - 'ionic' is not recognized as an internal or external command

I was trying to install ionic and create a sample project on it since morning. But, was facing a series of issues since then. Tried solving them one by one. Atlast restarted my machine and opened command prompt to build the sample project and tried
path of the sample project> ionic build android
But, i kept on facing the error that states 'ionic' is not recognized as an internal or external command.
I tried clearing the cache and reinstalling ionic in my machine. Still, I face the same issue of ionic is not recognized as an internal or external command.
Can somebody help me out on this issue?
Thanks

Somehow , my npm path was not there in PATH environmental Variable
So after adding C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Roaming\npm to my PATH variable my problem solved :-)

Try to install the ionic framework with the -g parameter, so the installation will be globall, like this:
npm install -g ionic
-g parameter mean "its binaries end up in your PATH environment variable."

If you're on Windows 10 (and possibly Vista/8/8.1) you need to run cmd.exe as an administrator. Now when you run the commands below, your environment settings will be made.
npm install -g cordova ionic

Check if the configuration is broken or not. the update might have installed it in the wrong place.
First check: npm config get prefix
In my case It wasn't set to /usr/local but in /usr/Roaming.
So to fix it, use: npm config set prefix
Problem solved! :)

After several hours of struggle I fixed it by the below steps:
uninstall node js restart the system .
install the node js (current version).
check your node js path in System variable in an
environmental variable.
Right click the command prompt and select run as administrator. Type cd\ now get into the npm path folder by cd <YourNpmPath>\npm install -g ionic#4
That's it . Now it is globally available throughout the system.

I ran this command to uninstall:
npm uninstall -g ionic cordova
and then ran the install:
npm install -g ionic cordova
and then everything started working again.

Insert this into your system path. This happens because node modules are not seen but when you do this you make the path to the module. They are found in this location
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\npm

Below simple steps to follow to get it working:
install Node.js
Install Ionic and cordova : npm install -g cordova ionic
create a simple project: ionic start mySimpleApp tabs
cd mySimpleApp
ionic cordova platform add android
Build the project: ionic build android

For the benefit of searchers, the other answers didn't work for me.
I deleted the 'Ionic' folder from:
C:\Users\..{me}..\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules
Then installed again with:
npm install -g ionic cordova
That fixed it.

I solve the problem on windows 10.The problem was that the environment variables don't contain a path to the ionic folder.

Just do:
npm config set prefix
And then
npm install -g ionic cordova

setting the path variable to C:\Users\«user name folder»\appdata\Roaming\npm helped me to resolve the issue. Please try

uninstall the old version
npm uninstall -g ionic
and try to install it again with the new version
npm install -g #ionic/cli

In my situation, I thought Ionic did not install,
but after I had changed my Windows User-Name, npm did for some reason still install on the last %AppData% folder path.
for example correct-path for new user-name is:
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\npm
but npm did use:
C:\Users\Abc\AppData\Roaming\npm
have moved that folder contents to the right place and all just works!
But to finally fix the issue from its root cause I updated NPM settings like:
npm config -g set prefix "%AppData%\npm"
npm config -g set cache "%AppData%\npm-cache"
npm config -g get prefix
And ensured my PATH environment-variable includes the correct NPM directory.

This issue occurs when we change the path variables manually.Because of this change system doesn't find libraries for the command which needed to be executed.
While installing ionic cordova, ionic cli takes cares by adding path variable in your environment.Hope this content helps
path -
C:\user\system_name\AppData\Roaming\npm

I had the same problem on Windows, and I find solution by navigating the command prompt to
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\npm>
Cordova, Ionic, etc. are found here.

The following steps worked for me in 2022:
Run the command prompt as Admin. This is mandatory to ensure that ionic is installed globally, otherwise you would continue to see the same error message despite installing ionic.
Type this command and hit enter: npm i -g #ionic/cli
That's it!

'ionic/java/cordova etc..' is not recognized as an internal or external command
for ionic or cordova install it from node using npm install -g ionic/cordova command.
This kind of messages comes whenever its PATH not set properly for other programs like java. System has to recognize your command available on your system or not. This can be identified only when you set your environment variable.
use this for setting your path
SET PATH = %PATH%; your app path to bin

Just follow this video, you have to set your path correctly.
http://learn.ionicframework.com/videos/windows-android/
1: Download and Install Java then open your system environment variables, and add to or create a new user variable called PATH with the full path to the bin folder of the new Java SDK installation.
2: Download Apache Ant then add the full path to the bin/ folder to the end of your PATH environment variable.
3: Add Android to PATH :Open up your environment variables setting and add the full path to both the adt-bundle/sdk/platform-tools/ folder and the adt-bundle/sdk/tools/ folder to the end of your PATH variable:
4.Install nodeJs and now you can do
npm install -g cordova ionic

I started getting this same error in the Console2 command prompt. I checked the environment variables and reinstalled ionic and cordova but this did not fixed it.
I then tried ionic in Node.js command prompt and it worked perfectly. So if you follow the other advice and it still doesn't work, try a different command prompt.

I think you should copy the bin file to the system variables and it should be fine, at least I try it on Win7 and it worked. I also got the same prob like this before.
Right click Computer, choose Properties, Advanced system settings and edit environment variables.

Try reinstalling the ionic
npm install ionic -g

uninstall ionic npm package and then clear all npm cache in appdata and then install ionic
npm install -g ionic
ionic info
you must install ionic package has global so use -g.
ionic info command is used to check the ionic information

Well, after trying several answers from many posts like this one and realizing that my environment variables were there too, I ran the
npm install -g cordova ionic
from the inside of nodejs folder in Program Files with windows prompt as administrator.
Initially I was installing it in my dev folder in D:\ partition. Hope it helps someone.

Probably you doesn't have ionic installed in your device.
First check in terminal/cmd, have you installed ionic or not?
you can check it with following command:
ionic -v

C:\Program Files\nodejs\bin
try adding this to your user and environment variables, under environment variables, and then close the command prompt window and open.
I got my problem resolved :)

npm install -g cordova ionic
and then
ionic start myApp tabs
and then
cd myApp
ionic serve

Firstly uninstall the ionic module from the project by using the following command.
npm uninstall -g ionic cordova
Then install ionic and cordova dependencies seperately as follows.
npm install -g ionic
npm install -g cordova

Please check whether ionic cli is installed or not globally and locally both

Node versions
Check if you are using the nvm,
you would have installed the ionc cli with node version 14.X, and now you might be using node 16.X or latest, this is why the ionic cli is not working in latest node version.
check list of node versions if by using nvm:
nvm list
try changing the node version to previous,
NVM user older node
change to older nvm:
nvm use 14.x.x
or your version in list

Install ionic framework.

I have installed the module with node version v0.10.22
sudo npm install -g ionic
But know when I am trying to start an new application I am getting a
-bash command not found
which ionic
gives me nothing, do I have to add the path to on the $PATH variable ?

How did you installed npm? If you used homebrew then npm won't put npm files accessible by users.
Add export PATH=/usr/local/share/npm/bin:$PATH to your .bashrc/.bash_profile/.zshrc file and it should work fine.
