Sidemenu 2

Created on Mar 19, 2017

Introduction

A beautiful multilevel collapsible menu (maximum of 3, I recommend that we don't need more than 3 levels) on the side menu (app drawer), NOW ON IONIC 2. Works as a clean component You are all set!

I always take it serious to keep the code quality high, with clean and self-explained code. When purchasing this, you also get my latest "helper" snippets inside the package to make it more fun to code.

What's in the package

Ionic Project source code: based on the folder structure generated with Ionic CLI
No Backend code: this is just the UI, not a fully functional app. Data is mostly static dummy unless mentioned, e.g GIF search uses the real Giphy API

Include directive in a template

Event handler for onSelect

In the parent component you can get the selected category by creating your handler

# src/app/app.component.ts
onMenuSelect(cat) {
    console.info('In app.components: selected category', cat);
    this.selectedCategory = cat;
    this.nav.setRoot(Home, {
      selectedCategory: cat
    })
  }
