How to get the version of ionic framework?

I wonder how to check the version of ionic. If I do ionic -v I get back 1.4.3

Can that be? Wasn't 1.0.0 just released?

Solution 1:

Run from your project folder:

$ ionic info

Cordova CLI: 5.0.0
Ionic Version: 1.0.1
Ionic CLI Version: 1.6.1
Ionic App Lib Version: 0.3.3
OS: Windows 7 SP1
Node Version: v0.12.2

If your CLI is old enough, it will say "info is not a valid task" and you can use this:

$ ionic lib

Local Ionic version: 1.0.1  (C:\stuff\july21app\www\lib\ionic\version.json)
Latest Ionic version: 1.0.1  (released 2015-06-30)
* Local version up to date

Solution 2:

That is the version number of the Ionic CLI, which is different from the version number of Ionic's library. Here are a couple easy ways to check the version.

In the browser console, you can run ionic.version and it will print to the console what version it is.

You can also look at the bower.json file in your app, and it will show the version number like you see here. https://github.com/ionic-in-action/chapter5/blob/master/bower.json#L5

Solution 3:

In the terminal following command returns the version:

'ionic version' or 'ionic -v'

returned

'3.2.0'

The above is the CLI version. Go to the project folder and use the code below like scw's answer.

$ cd ionic-project
$ ionic info
✔ Gathering environment info - done!

Ionic:

   ionic (Ionic CLI)  : 4.2.1 (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic)
   Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.9.2
   @ionic/app-scripts : 3.2.0

Cordova:

   cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.1.2 ([email protected])
   Cordova Platforms     : android 7.1.4
   Cordova Plugins       : cordova-plugin-ionic 5.2.7, cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 2.2.5, (and 15 other plugins)

System:

   NodeJS : v8.12.0 (/usr/local/bin/node)
   npm    : 6.4.1
   OS     : OS X Yosemite

Solution 4:

$ ionic -v

CLI 4.12.0

you will be able to know your framework version

$ ionic info

all details

Solution 5:

At some point in time the object changed from ionic to an uppercase Ionic.

As of July 2017 you need to put Ionic.version into your console to get the version number.
