ionic

To configure a ionic project, go to the root directory and enter the following command:

$ livecl ionic configure -a <applicationId> -c <channelId>

The files package.json and config.xml now are configured to work with liveupdate. Now deploy the app (a clean build is strongly recommended) to your device. After, open and apply some visible changes to a page of your ionic app. Open a terminal and execute this command that compiles ad push a new update to the server:

$ npm run-script live-deploy

Restart the app and check if the update works correctly.

To create a new build enter the following code. It works like livecl add build command but it reads applicationId and channelId from the package.json.

$ livecl ionic deploy
