I have to use Ionic without Ionic CLI (native build) for technical reasons. Some background: I have a multi-app monorepo with single dependencies. Using Ionic 5 with Angular 10 and the latest Cordova. I build it with Angular and Cordova only. No Ionic command, because it does not support my monorepo workspace. For simplicity I created my own build script. I works great. I can build the release apk, run it on the device or serve it on desktop. …
Now I want to use the live reload feature on the device. In Ionic CLI it’s the command:
ionic cordova run android -l
But I want to know how it works to use it without the Ionic CLI.
I know that it’s like ng serve
. Just serve the page as server on my local IP and the Android app just loads the html from the Angular server. …
I cannot find the related source code in GitHub.
Any idea, comment, link, etc. are welcome.
I wondering, live reload of Ionic should work in Angular, React and Vue (soon), right? I guess that the live reload just provides a custom app (index.html, etc.) which loads the content from the server in local network.
