How can I tell ionic to build from the yeoman’s “app” folder instead of default ionic “www”?
Ok, I think I found it. For those who at some point may want to work with yeo and ionic at the same time in the same project, and while a generator comes up that allows more comfortably to do this, I will share my findings…
Holly Schinsky, writes in her blog where the config files in a cordoba project are located for defining www as the source root, for both, Android and IOS.

However, running a find in the cordova platforms folder gave me this:
which makes me think that I don’t want to mess with these values, as they may be regenerated at some point, also I know it is a very bad practice to write into auto-generated files. sooooo…
Probably the best solution is just to edit the grunt file and set the dist folder as “www”, run “grunt build” and then use "ionic build " and "ionic emulate ", it takes its time, but probably for the moment is good enough.
If anyone knows a better solution please let me know, in the meantime I hope this may help others with the same issue.
Hey there!
I’ve created a Yeoman generator for Ionic that attempts to support developing Ionic apps with an intelligent workflow and powerful build system.
There is a grunt build command that handles doing something very similar to what you described. It takes the assets from the app/ folder concatenates, obfuscates, and minifies everything, then copies the resulting files to the www/ directory before finally running the wrapped cordova build command.
I’m hoping the community finds it useful - https://github.com/diegonetto/generator-ionic

That sounds amazing! I am going to start a new project next week, I will check it out definitely.
Thanks!
