Angular and Ionic Navigation Navigation for Angular and Ionic Framework

Navigation - Bottom navigation

Change demo

Use the bottom navigation for the top level navigation solution in your app. When you navigate between pages of the same level of hierarchy, it gives a consistent look on each page. While it can also be rendered on the top of the viewport, on mobile handheld devices the bottom navigation bar is the easiest to reach. It's ergonomic.

Navigation items can be used with both icons and labels. Additionally every item can show a badge, containing dynamic information. For example the number of unread notifications.

The bottom navigation component automatically hides navigation items behind a "More" button, when the viewport is not wide enough. This behavior can be further customized with the layout settings.

For organizing content into categories  Check out the Tabs navigation →

Navigation - Tabs

Change demo

Use the tab navigation for organizing content into categories.

The tab navigation component supports swipe gestures for the tab-list, which makes the component a scalable solution for as many tabs as needed.

Tabs can combine icons and labels to be more expressive like in this demo.

Navigating between tabs can also be customized. Check out the demo for handling navigation with external buttons.

Navigation - Hamburger menu

Change demo

The hamburger menu is a compact and well known solution for grouping destinations that need to be accessible from multiple pages.

One of the advantages it has over the Tabs or the Bottom navigation is that it hides the nav-items and saves space.

The menu button can be customized to suit your needs with the menuIcon and menuText settings.

Navigation - Prev/Next

Change demo

The Tab navigation component is customizable in a variety of ways. This demo shows how to add custom Prev/Next buttons beside the Tab component and how to make page change obvious.

If you are looking for the simplest solution in grouping content, have a look on the previous tabs demo.

Navigation - Tabs with icons

Change demo

Add icons and labels to nav-items to be more informative. Build and save custom icon sets from over 2500 icons to choose from.

Use the scrollable tab-list for self-adjusting desktop & mobile content management.

Navigation - Event handlers

Change demo

The navigation components ships with different event hooks for deep customization. Events are triggered through the lifecycle of the component where you can tie in custom functionality and code. While users interact with the UI events like onItemTap, onMenuShow, onMenuHide ... will be triggered. Interact with the example and check the event log for the output.

Navigation - Responsive

Change demo

Set up the Navigation to behave responsively. Use the appriopriate positioning and rendering based on the screen size. You can have Hamburger menu on small screens and Tab navigation on large screens.

All this can be configured under the responsive setting where you pass the options for each breakpoint.

responsive: {
    xsmall: { ... }, small: { ... }, medium: { ... }, large: { ... }, xlarge: { ... }
}

Navigation - Desktop

Change demo

Bottom and Tab navigation can be equally fitting for managing content on desktop web apps and large screens.

You can choose between one and the other depending on you content layout or use both like in this example.
