Where to place pre loaded db file in Ionic 2 RC0

Question

I am using the sqlite cordova ext plugin to work with a pre-filled sqlite database.

With the new RC0 of Ionic 2 the www folder is completely rebuilt on every build.

Answer 1

1) I installed the cordova-sqlite-ext plugin

2) In app.component.ts I imported import { SQLite } from 'ionic-native';

3) In the platform.ready() I inserted:

let db = new SQLite();
      db.openDatabase({
        name: "data.db",
        location: "default",
        createFromLocation: 1
      }).then(() => {
        db.executeSql("SELECT * from config", []).then((data) => {
          console.log("Data received: ", data);
        }, (error) => {
          console.error("Unable to execute sql", error);
        })
      }, (error) => {
        console.error("Unable to open database", error);
      });

4) I create a file called copy.config.json at the same path of package.json and I inserted:

module.exports = {
    include: [
        {
            src: 'src/assets/',
            dest: 'www/assets/'
        },
        {
            src: 'src/index.html',
            dest: 'www/index.html'
        },
        {
            src: 'src/data.db',
            dest: 'www/data.db'
        },
        {
            src: 'src/service-worker.js',
            dest: 'www/service-worker.js'
        },
        {
            src: 'node_modules/ionic-angular/polyfills/polyfills.js',
            dest: 'www/build/polyfills.js'
        },
        {
            src: 'node_modules/ionicons/dist/fonts/',
            dest: 'www/assets/fonts/'
        },
    ]
};

5) In the file package.json I inserted:

"config": {
    "ionic_copy": "./copy.config.js"
  },

before the last line "description": "SqlProject: An Ionic project".
