I am looking for a way to “ionic start” a project and having it in the projects folder of an existing Angular CLI solution (containing a web app and a lib already).

So there isn't an official ionic cli command that can do this, but you can do 

ng add @ionic/angular

In the Project and it will add the necessary pieces to the web app for you.

Other than that, there's always the manual way of installing ionic/angular

  • npm install @ionic/angular
  • npm install @ionic/angular-toolkit
  • add the styles listed here in your styles array
  • include the ionicons assets listed here
  • add the native build tasks listed here. This is optional if you're planning on deploying to native iOS and native android

  • Would this also be the way to add ionic to an existing angular project, where I just want to use a single ionic component? – chrismarx Jan 16 '20 at 16:16

Thank you for the putting us to right path!

Small issue I ran into was: when I ran ng add @ionic/angular, it installed version 0.2.2 and was throwing the following error

The package that you are trying to add does not support schematics. You can try using a different version of the package or contact the package author to add ng-add support.

I had to run ng add @ionic/angular@4.6.0 to make it work
