title: Angular 2 and Ionic 2 with Visual Studio
body: <p>So, this may be a stupid question, and if so I do apologize in advance. But I can't seem to find any documentation on this anywhere at all. My goal is to create an Angular 2 project, with Ionic 2 within Visual Studio, but I do not want to utilize any .NET framework. Everything I seem to find either utilizes the .NET framework, or works completely outside of Visual Studio within a separate IDE and utilizing command line tools, as well as node.js and npm. I'm just curious if this was possible to do, or if node.js/npm is the preferred manner of doing things?</p>
