How to get the version of ionic framework?

Question

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?

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

This answer should be the accepted answer. This is the only one that worked for me. `ionic -v` returned the globally installed `ionic-cli` version. `Ionic.version` or `ionic.version` in the browser does not exist in my installation. – Wesley Gonçalves Jun 05 '20 at 00:53

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

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. – Daniel Jul 26 '17 at 18:05

Ionic.version not working should be ionic.version at least using chrome – pabloRN Nov 26 '18 at 10:13

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 (cordova-lib@8.1.1)
   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

Quite helpful this way. – Muhammad Ayyaz Dec 16 '19 at 16:46 — Muhammad Ayyaz, Dec 16 '19 at 16:46

Ionic projects structure are similar as Angular projects, you can get use

ionic info

command to Print project, system, and environment information.

This command is an easy way to share information about your setup. If applicable, be sure to run ionic info within your project directory to display even more information.

We may use --json after ionic info to print system/environment info in JSON format

ionic info --json

You can find the library version accessing the file package.json. Under dependencies, check the property ionic-angular. You can also check the Ionic CLI version typing ionic info in the terminal from your project's folder.

for slower machines use the browser console.

Ionic.version

It doesn't do much analysis like the terminal's

ionic info

which gathers other useful information about your ionic project.

ionic info

This will give you the ionic version,node, npm and os.

If you need only ionic version use ionic -v.

If your project's development ionic version and your global versions are different then check them by using the below commands.

To check the globally installed ionic version ionic -g and to check the project's ionic version use ionic -g.

To check the project's ionic version use ionic -v in your project path or else ionic info to get the details of ionic and its dependencies.

ionic -v displays the Ionic CLI version, not the framework version. ionic info is ok since it displays both CLI and framework versions. — Luis Martin, Jan 02 '21 at 18:18
