Change bower default "lib" folder

[yupswing]

I put my bower_components folder (actually in ionic is located by default in www/lib) in a different path, using .bowerrc

But

When I do ionic lib ionic cannot find itself (it looks for www/lib/ionic instead of [my_path_in_bowerrc]/ionic)
How can I tell Ionic to look for the .bowerrc? Is there a config in the config.xml or in the ionic.project?

Does it need to be implemented?

Thanks

You can install and update withn bower - that’s what I do now - but the ionic CLI commands ‘ionic lib’ or ‘ionic lib update’ does not work. This should be cofigurable or just look at the .bowerrc file

I posted something similar over a year ago but with no response

Changing ionic lib default folder

Hi, It appears that ionic lib update requires ionic to be in www/lib. The default .bowerrc file is set to www/lib, so you can update ionic with bower or using ionic lib update However, changing .bowerrc in order to change the default bower files location, doesn’t seem to affect the ionic lib command whcih I would expect it to… It just shows $ ionic lib Unable to load ionic lib version information Local Ionic version: undefined (<project folder>/www/lib/ionic/bower.json) Latest Ionic versio…

I’m afraid this is not possible at the moment. Looking at the code on https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/blob/master/lib/ionic/lib.js it has ‘www/lib/ionic’ hardcoded everywhere.
