Hello,
I have used Ionic in a recent project and love it.
Right now, however, I am on a project that doesn’t use Ionic, just vanilla angular.js for a mobile app.
For this project we now need a side menu, and are looking for existing components we might be able to reuse.
I therefore was wondering if I could reuse the ionic component outside of the Ionic framework, as a stand alone component inside our project?
Anyone have any experience with this approach?

Tnx for the links!
I looked at the ionic archive link, but don’t seem to get how to reuse this as a component outside ionic.
In github I can only get so far back as v0.9.08-alpha, and in that version the ionicSideMenu.js file has for instance a reference to ionic.on(‘mousedown’, function(e)…
Do you think it is wise to cut these wires to extract this code as a stand alone component.
The other component seems to use only CSS. I’ve heard of problems with drawer menu’s that only use css on ios7, so I still would prefer the ionic menu.
I mean it can’t hurt to try.
As long as the transitions being used are hardware accelerated, you should be good.
Thank you, just the push I needed!
