Embedding an Ionic app in a MVC / C++ web app

You want to embed a PWA version of your ionic app in your web site, but don’t want to pay to host another site (or have to remember another URL)

Build the prod version of your app

ionic cordova build browser

Ionic / Cordova wants a file at /config.xml, so copy your config.xml there

Create a folder for your ionic app in the project folder.
To get the published files into that folder, add a Pre Build Event.

xcopy C:\Projects\MyFluJab\platforms\browser\www*.* C:\Projects\faf02b\Faf02\MyFluJab /E /Y

xcopy C:\Projects\FafIonicAdmin\www*.* C:\Projects\faf02b\Faf02\FafAdmin /E /Y

Right-click and Unload Project.
Right-click and Edit Project File.
