Ionic bower

We have depeloped a mobile application using Ionic 1 and we are working to adapt it to Ionic 2.

We have used bower as a dependence management for the first one, and we have noticed that by default Ionic 2 Quickstart has just node.

Could you please let us know if Ionic 2 works with Bower under the hood as the first version of Ionic or the standar is to use node for all?

It’s npm packages all the way for v2+. Forget bower.
