Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Ionic Creator allows the user to export everything as a project with all .html, .css, and .js files."

A block of code is set as follows:

{
  "name": "myApp",
  "app_id": "",
  "watchPatterns": [
    "www/**/*",
    "!www/css/**/*",
    "your_folder_here/**/*"  
  ]
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ ionic start HelloWorld_Blank blank

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "Once completed, click on the Export button on the top navigation."
