$ ionic serve
Start a local dev server for app dev/testing
Synopsis
$ ionic serve
Details
Easily spin up a development server which launches in your browser. It watches for changes in your source files and automatically reloads with the updated build.
By default, ionic serve boots up a development server on all network interfaces and prints the external address(es) on which your app is being served. It also broadcasts your app to the Ionic DevApp on your network. To disable the DevApp and bind to localhost, use --local.
Try the --lab option to see multiple platforms at once.
