Overview of this book

Ionic is the preferred choice for JavaScript developers to develop real-time hybrid applications. This book will get you started with Ionic 3.9 and help you create Angular 5 components that interact with templates. You will work with Ionic components and find out how to share data efficiently between them. You'll discover how to make the best use of the REST API to handle back-end services and then move on to animating your application to make it look pretty. You then learn to add in a local push notification in order to test the app. Then you'll work with Cordova to support native functionalities on both iOS and Android. From there, you'll get to grips with using the default themes for each platform and customizing your own. We then take you through the advanced Ionic features like lazy loading, deep linking, localizing ionic apps etc. Finally, you'll see how best to deploy your app to different platforms. This book will solve all your Ionic-related issues through dedicated recipes that will help you get the best out of Ionic.

Using menu, tabs, and segment together in an app

In the previous examples, we used tabs and menu for the navigation. We used them in two different applications. But, sometimes, we might want to use both tabs and menu in a single application. In this example, we will use tabs, menu, and segment. The second page of the app will look something like the following screenshot:

If you take a closer look at the preceding screenshot, you will see that there is hamburger menu button, three tabs at the bottom, and two tabs like buttons just after the page title. These two buttons are actually called segment buttons. They are similar to tabs in UX, but they are very different in their workings. You will see later on in the code how they are different.
