I have a project that was built on version 2.0.0-beta.11. The amount of work involved into migrating it to the latest version is too high, so we decided to stick with this version.
For a different project, I upgraded to the latest version (ionic-angular 3.9.2) and now, of course, I can’t run my other project built with the older version.
Is there a way to install the older version locally and be able to use the old CLI in the project folder?
Or should I find a different machine and set things up from scratch using the old version of things and all the dependencies?
I think ionic 1 running on AngularJS 1.x is still valuable because there are a considerable amount of job position for AngularJS 1.x developers. I don’t think it will go away within the next four years or it could be that Google will choose to continue develop AngularJS separately from Angular 5 with typescript. There are still more companies using AngularJS 1.x and they don’t want to upgrade to Angular 5… if they ever upgrade they want to switch to React.js. Angular 5 is good when you’re providing services to your own clients or you’re developing your own products. I think it will take some time to see Angular 5 saturating job market.
