Ionic | App from Scratch – Two Sidemenus

Prepare your starter App

<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-group="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-title="">ionic start App sidemenu --type angular --no-git

Change into the newly create folder and start the Ionic App

<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-group="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-title="">cd App
ionic serve

You will see the default Ionic Sidemenu App

<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-group="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-language="js" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-title="">export class AppComponent {
	public appPages = [
		{ title: 'Home', url: '/home', icon: 'home' },
		{ title: 'List', url: '/list', icon: 'list' }
	];

The sidemenu itself and his apperance are defined in app.component.html:

<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-group="" data-enlighter-highlight="13,14" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-linenumbers="true" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-title=""><ion-app>
  <ion-split-pane contentId="main-content">
    <ion-menu contentId="main-content" type="overlay">
      <ion-header>
        <ion-toolbar>
          <ion-title>Menu</ion-title>
        </ion-toolbar>
      </ion-header>
      <ion-content>
        <ion-list>
          <ion-menu-toggle auto-hide="false" *ngFor="let p of appPages">
            <ion-item [routerDirection]="'root'" [routerLink]="[p.url]">
              <ion-icon slot="start" [name]="p.icon"></ion-icon>
              <ion-label>{{p.title}}</ion-label>
            </ion-item>
          </ion-menu-toggle>
        </ion-list>
      </ion-content>
    </ion-menu>
    <ion-router-outlet id="main-content"></ion-router-outlet>
  </ion-split-pane>
</ion-app>

The Sidemenu entries and the Icon are added in line 13 and 14 to the sidemenu.

Define two sidemenus in app.html

<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-group="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-language="js" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-title=""><ion-menu [content]="contentLeft"> ....</ion-menu>
<ion-menu side="right" [content]="contentRight">....</ion-menu>
 ....

<ion-nav [root]="rootPage" #contentLeft #contentRight swipeBackEnabled="false"></ion-nav>

Add buttons to page

<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-group="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-title=""><ion-header>
   <ion-navbar>
      <button ion-button start menuToggle>
         <ion-icon name="menu"></ion-icon>
      </button>
      <ion-title>Demo of two Sidemenus</ion-title>
      <button ion-button end menuToggle="right">
         <ion-iconname="menu"></ion-icon>
      </button>
   </ion-navbar>
</ion-header>
<ion-content padding>
