I used ionic serve
and got the below response to which I did not think twice and selected localhost
. However now I want to use option 1. Ionic has remembered my selection such that ionic serve
never allows me to select anymore and uses localhost
...
How can I change this so that ionic serve uses the first option?
Multiple addresses available.
Please select which address to use by entering its number from the list below:
1) 192.168.2.10 (en0)
2) localhost
Address Selection:
You can use the ionic address
command to update the selected address, which is available from Ionic 1.2.3.
Also, there is a file called ionic.config
which you can modify with this setting. On Mac/ubuntu this file is at ~/.ionic
. On a PC it can be found at c:/users/username/.ionic
. Inside you'll see something like this which you can edit the ionicServeAddress
value.
{
"ank": "...",
"versionCheck": 1413143560174,
"ionicServeAddress": "localhost"
}
just type ionic address
command and you get the option to select your IP address again.
OR
you can explicitly select your address and port when you run ionic serve
by using the --address
and --port
options. Like this:
ionic serve --address IP_address --port port
example : ionic serve --address 192.168.1.129 --port 8101
Things to note
- If you do not provide a port option with
--address
the default port(8100) is used instead.
- Specifying address and port will only change the settings for that session. if you need to override saved settings, you should probably use the
ionic address
command instead.
This has been fixed in version 0.6.1
Update to the latest version by running npm install -g generator-ionic
and then run yo ionic
inside your current project and select Y
