I have a mobile app/website (in Ionic 3.25) under construction and wanted to support the desktop web browser experience without wasting all that screen space. I stumbled across Ion-Split-Pane. It seemed perfect from the documentation, allowing me to pop open the sidemenu as a full menu when a large screen was used. I set the code as recommended in the app.html file:
<ion-split-pane when="md">
<ion-menu [content]="content">
<ion-header>
<ion-toolbar>
<ion-title>Menu</ion-title>
</ion-toolbar>
</ion-header>
<ion-content>
<ion-list>
<button menuClose ion-item *ngFor="let p of pages" (click)="openPage(p)">
{{p.title}}
</button>
</ion-list>
</ion-content>
</ion-menu>
<!-- Disable swipe-to-go-back because it's poor UX to combine STGB with side menus -->
<ion-nav [root]="rootPage" #content swipeBackEnabled="false"></ion-nav>
</ion-split-pane>
The behavior I'm getting when using Ionic Serve is baffling. When I use a large screen (above somewhere around 922 pixels wide), I get a three pane experience, with a bunch of whitespace containing nothing in the far right. This was surprising, since I thought the app would use the available space:
When I then shrink below that size, the entire website/app disappears. The elements are still in the html, but nothing is drawn to the screen.
This behavior is so far from the documentation that I must have something wrong, but I'm not certain what. Anyone know how I could get this panel working?
After working on this for a while, I discovered my problem. It isn't mentioned explicitly in the documentation, so I'll post the answer here in case anyone else runs into it.
When converting a side-menu project to use Ion-Split-Pane, the content section needs to have the main keyword added to the <ion-nav> object. #content and [root] are not enough.
The amended code:
<ion-split-pane when="md">
<ion-menu [content]="content">
<ion-header>
<ion-toolbar>
<ion-title>Menu</ion-title>
</ion-toolbar>
</ion-header>
<ion-content>
<ion-list>
<button menuClose ion-item *ngFor="let p of pages" (click)="openPage(p)">
{{p.title}}
</button>
</ion-list>
</ion-content>
</ion-menu>
<!-- Disable swipe-to-go-back because it's poor UX to combine STGB with side menus -->
<ion-nav [root]="rootPage" main #content swipeBackEnabled="false"></ion-nav>
</ion-split-pane>
Without that line, the entire application is thrown into the 'menu' pane and simply disappears when going to the mobile view.

Menu Example:
I am just starting out with Ionic and am not really sure why the two icons in the top left-hand corner are stacking and staying tiny. I have read through all docs and forums, however, I haven't seemed to come across a solution. Thanks in advance.
<ion-header no-lines>
<ion-toolbar>
<ion-title>Home</ion-title>
<ion-buttons icon-left start>
<!-- Float the icon left -->
<button ion-button icon-start>
<ion-icon name="home"></ion-icon>
</button>
</ion-buttons>
<ion-buttons icon-right end>
<!-- Float the icon right -->
<button ion-button icon-end>
<ion-icon name="contact"></ion-icon>
</button>
</ion-buttons>
</ion-toolbar>
</ion-header>
I landed on this after copy & pasting some Ionic 3 code into my Ionic 4 project.
The best answer I can suggest is to have a look at the documentation for Ionic 4! A lot of what you've done is not Ionic 4, but Ionic 3.
Take the button docs for example: https://ionicframework.com/docs/api/button Your button won't work, because you must use something like:
<ion-button color="primary" fill="clear" expand="block" (click)="deleteRecord(i)">
<ion-icon name='trash'></ion-icon>
</ion-button>
Also, for the positioning, also look at the documentation. You should be using the slot property. for example:
<ion-chip outline="outline" color="primary" slot="start">
<ion-label> Job id : {{ interv.ts % 1000000}} </ion-label>
</ion-chip>
Note that in the two snippets above, I used different properties to determine the outline / fill. That's because the documentation told me to. So while it may not be entirely consistent, it is documented and for the most part, it works.
Brief Explanation: I am using ionic split pane in my project. I want to decrease , increase left pane width by clicking a button.
Below is my app.html code:
<ion-split-pane>
<ion-menu [content]="content">
<ion-header>
<ion-toolbar>
<ion-title>Menu</ion-title>
</ion-toolbar>
</ion-header>
<ion-content>
<ion-list>
<button menuClose ion-item *ngFor="let p of pages" (click)="openPage(p)">
{{p.title}}
</button>
</ion-list>
</ion-content>
</ion-menu>
<!-- Disable swipe-to-go-back because it's poor UX to combine STGB with side menus -->
<ion-nav [root]="rootPage" main #content></ion-nav>
</ion-split-pane>
This is how my home page looks
Please guide How to achieve this.
This is given in the documentation here
<ion-split-pane [when]="showSplitPane">
...
</ion-split-pane>
and when clicking on the button you can toggle the showSplitPane variable.
I am developing an ionic app with a side menu, I want to animate the list items on the side menu when it is toggled open using animate.css. To do this when the menu is opened I add a css class to the menu items. When the menu is closed I remove the class.
I did some research and found some event listeners that were added to ionic which I tried:
<ion-menu [content]="content" class="sidemenu-header" (ionOpen)="toggleMenuState()" (ionClose)="toggleMenuState()">
<ion-header>
<ion-toolbar>
<img src="./assets/imgs/sidebar-header-icon.png" class="icon"/>
<ion-title>
</ion-title>
</ion-toolbar>
</ion-header>
<ion-content class="sidemenu-content" (click)="toggleMenuState()">
<ion-list>
<button menuClose ion-item *ngFor="let p of pages" (click)="openPage(p)"
[ngClass]="{'test-class': isMenuOpen === true}">
{{p.title}}
</button>
</ion-list>
</ion-content>
</ion-menu>
<!-- Disable swipe-to-go-back because it's poor UX to combine STGB with side menus -->
<ion-nav [root]="rootPage" #content swipeBackEnabled="false"></ion-nav>
Now when the menu is opened the class get's added however when I click outside the menu to close the it the classes do not get removed.
How do I do this?
I'm having a big issue with aligning an icon to the left. No matter what I do, it aligns to the right side of the screen. Other pages do not have problem and aligns perfectly to the left. This issue happens when I use a tab.
How do I fix this? There's no CSS code as I'm using the default codes.
This is my ionic code:
<ion-header>
<ion-toolbar>
<ion-buttons start>
<button ion-button menuToggle>
<ion-icon name="menu"></ion-icon>
</button>
</ion-buttons>
<ion-segment end [(ngModel)]="stories">
<ion-segment-button value="headlines">
Headlines
</ion-segment-button>
<ion-segment-button value="new">
New
</ion-segment-button>
</ion-segment>
</ion-toolbar>
</ion-header>
No matter what I do, this is the end result:
PS: I'm using the latest version of ionic.
Just like #Sam5487 said, you should use an ion-navbar instead of the ion-toolbar (if you're using the toolbar in order to avoid the back arrow icon when pushing the page, you should set that page as root instead of just pushing it to the nav stack).
About end/start/left/right
I've also seen that you've used the start attribute in the ion-buttons, but it doesn't mean it will be placed to the left, since start and end follow the UI pattern for the platform
So <ion-buttons start> would be on the left for ios and be the first button on the right for android.
And <ion-buttons end> would be on the right for ios and the last button on the right for android.
So with both start or end the button will be placed at the right on Android.
If you want to place a button at the left or the right in both platforms, you should use left or right, since these attributes are provide as a way to over ride that.
Using the menuToggle button
That being said, if you take a look at the menuToggle docs:
If placing the menuToggle in a navbar or toolbar, it should be placed
as a child of the <ion-navbar> or <ion-toolbar>, and not in the
<ion-buttons>.
So in order to achieve the desired result, you just need to change your layout for this one:
<ion-header>
<ion-navbar>
<button ion-button menuToggle>
<ion-icon name="menu"></ion-icon>
</button>
<ion-segment [(ngModel)]="stories">
<ion-segment-button value="headlines">
Headlines
</ion-segment-button>
<ion-segment-button value="new">
New
</ion-segment-button>
</ion-segment>
</ion-navbar>
</ion-header>
You can also confirm that this is the recommended way to do it, by taking a look at this page from the Conference App demo made by the guys at Ionic
Try this instead
<ion-header>
<ion-navbar>
//*** Rest of the header code ***//
</ion-navbar>
</ion-header>
Also in your button that is only an icon i suggest adding icon-only as well.
<button ion-button icon-only menuToggle>
<ion-icon name="menu"></ion-icon>
</button>
I am building an Ionic 2 application with side-menu and want to customize my side menu as can be seen in the following image (not exact same, however the important part is how to get that first block with such a picture and some text), with custom color for the entire toolbar etc?:
My application looks like following:
My app.html:
<ion-menu [content]="content">
<ion-toolbar>
<ion-title>Menu</ion-title>
</ion-toolbar>
<ion-content>
<ion-list>
<button menuClose ion-item *ngFor="let p of pages" (click)="openPage(p)">
<ion-icon name="{{p.name}}"></ion-icon>
{{p.title}}
</button>
</ion-list>
</ion-content>
</ion-menu>
<!-- Disable swipe-to-go-back because it's poor UX to combine STGB with side menus -->
<ion-nav [root]="rootPage" #content swipeBackEnabled="false"></ion-nav>
You can do it just adding some standard HTML code, and with CSS you can customize the style. Create the CSS Class rules in the .scss file. Rember to import
#import "build/app.html"; in the app.core.scss file. You'll find other information to personalize your app there
And for display the first block part you can add your code before the ion-list of the menu and after the tag <ion-content>.
You can delete this part, so it's more easy to create your custom layout.
<ion-toolbar>
<ion-title>Menu</ion-title>
</ion-toolbar>
The code will be:
<ion-menu [content]="content">
<ion-content>
<!--Here you can add all the code
you want, so you can display whatever you want-->
<!--Menu list-->
<ion-list class="menuList">
<button menuClose ion-item *ngFor="let p of pages" (click)="openPage(p)" class="menuButton">
<ion-icon name="{{p.name}}"></ion-icon>
{{p.title}}
</button>
</ion-list>
</ion-content>
</ion-menu>
