Ionic Framework Version

• [ ] v4.x

Current Behavior

on running the command ionic start "product-hunt-clone" blank --type=react --no-deps, the ionic cli still runs the npm i command, even though the --no-deps options is enabled.

Expected Behavior

npm i command should not run, and dependencies should not be installed for a project

Steps to Reproduce

run the command ionic start "product-hunt-clone" blank --type=react --no-deps to create a blank starter project
