modular

It will use gulp to load modules.You can put modules in src/components, root directory of module may exist menu_{index}.html(index is order of side menu) to show as menu. You can also exist css or configuration files in modules.

If you delete entire directory from src/components you must run gulp again to make sure changes work.

It wiletect and load js,css from bowser.json properly, you only need to inject angular modules with environment variable ANGULAR_MODULES, currently it has default value 'ionic','ngResource','ya.nouislider'.
