I could not find a way to start Ionic v2 sample app ionic start appname --v2 with JavaScript and NOT TypeScript.

I have tried --v2 --js, --v2 --no-tsand I always get ts version of app.

Am I wrong or JavaScript version is not available any longer in sample start app?! => ionic-cli.

It seems weird.

Any idea to get it to work? Thank you for your help

Like you can see in this answer:

Just asked in ionic-v2 Slack channel and the answer was:

We're going all in on TS.

You could do your own work and covert it toa es6 workflow, but we want people to use typescript

As @HerbiShtini mentioned in the comments, in this issue it's said that:

Ionic2 applications are only available as Typescript.

I will just copy the framework(js, scss) and get out of their ecosystem then. Thanks!
Sorry for the bad news... But why don't you give Typescript a try? After all, Angular2 has been written in Typescript.
They must have a reason for doing that. I am a bit in hurry and did not want to spend time with TS but I will give it an overview. Thanks
This clears doubts even further => github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/issues/1057
If you don't mind, please feel free to edit the answer to include that information or tell me to do so and I will :)
