Ionic 2 - Progressive Web App Only - How-to?

1
votes

Since I only need a Progressive Web App; I was wondering if it's possible to not install Cordova as well as everything that is related to native apps when installating/setting up Ionic?

  1. Do you think we could get rid of what is in bold? (see below after doing an ionic info command)
  2. Do you have any thoughts / best practices to share?

The following components are part of Ionic or are needed

  • Cordova CLI: 6.5.0
  • Ionic CLI Version: 2.2.1
  • Ionic App Lib Version: 2.2.0
  • ios-deploy version: 1.9.0
  • ios-sim version: 5.0.13
  • OS: OS X El Capitan Node Version: v7.0.0
  • Xcode version: Xcode 8.2.1 Build version 8C1002

I'd be interested to hear some of the best practices for this. Thus far I have seen people recommend installing browser as a platform via ionic platform add browser and then building in prod mode with ionic build browser --prod for a small build bundle. But not 100% sure on deployment on conforming to PWA standards - Phillip Hartin
