Ionic 3 - Deep Linking - URL Not Appearing

Question

Trying to use the new deep linking system using the @Page decorator.

I think I have everything set up correctly (no errors showing in the console) but the URL's are not appearing. Here's my code

app.module.ts

import { NgModule, ErrorHandler } from '@angular/core';
import { IonicApp, IonicModule, IonicErrorHandler } from 'ionic-angular';
import { MyApp } from './app.component';
import { HomePageModule } from '../pages/home/home.module';
import { JobsPageModule } from '../pages/jobs/jobs.module';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { HttpModule } from '@angular/http';
import { SplashScreen } from '@ionic-native/splash-screen';
import { StatusBar } from '@ionic-native/status-bar';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    MyApp
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    HttpModule,
    HomePageModule,
    JobsPageModule,
    IonicModule.forRoot(MyApp)
  ],
  bootstrap: [IonicApp],
  entryComponents: [
    MyApp
  ],
  providers: [
    {provide: ErrorHandler, useClass: IonicErrorHandler},
    SplashScreen,
    StatusBar
  ]
})
export class AppModule {}

home.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NavController, IonicPage } from 'ionic-angular';

@IonicPage({
    name: 'home',
  segment: 'home'
})
@Component({
  selector: 'page-home',
  templateUrl: 'home.html'
})
export class HomePage {

  constructor(public navCtrl: NavController) {

  }


}

home.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { IonicPageModule } from 'ionic-angular';
import { HomePage } from './home';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    HomePage,
  ],
  imports: [
    IonicPageModule.forChild(HomePage),
  ],
  exports: [
    HomePage
  ]
})
export class HomePageModule {}

Any advice would be great.

UPDATE:

Found this link

https://github.com/fundo90/ionic2-starter-mobile/tree/b53023d99e78e7b2b56ff4345555656b2de743b7/src

Which seems to have the URLs. But unsure as to how he is importing the modules

Answer 1

In my case i have menu in my page which is causing issue. I just moved menu to app.html and it works.

Answer 2

Ok doke so figured it out from the following tutorial

http://masteringionic2.com/blog/2017-04-14-lazy-loading-and-deep-linking-with-ionic-3/

So, in app.component.ts need to remove the following import

import { HomePage } from '../pages/home/home';

And then when setting the root page, we use the name we created using the ionic page decorator i.e

@IonicPage({
  name: 'home',
  segment: 'home'
})

So app.component will look like this

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Platform } from 'ionic-angular';
import { SplashScreen } from '@ionic-native/splash-screen';
import { StatusBar } from '@ionic-native/status-bar';


    @Component({
      templateUrl: 'app.html'
    })
    export class MyApp {
      rootPage:any = 'home';

      constructor(
        platform: Platform,
        private splashScreen: SplashScreen,
        private statusBar: StatusBar
       ) {
        platform.ready().then(() => {
          // Okay, so the platform is ready and our plugins are available.
          // Here you can do any higher level native things you might need.
          this.statusBar.styleDefault();
          this.splashScreen.hide();
        });
      }
    }

And we don't need to import the modules as I have done in my question above. So app.moudule.ts will look like this

import { NgModule, ErrorHandler } from '@angular/core';
import { IonicApp, IonicModule, IonicErrorHandler } from 'ionic-angular';
import { MyApp } from './app.component';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { HttpModule } from '@angular/http';
import { SplashScreen } from '@ionic-native/splash-screen';
import { StatusBar } from '@ionic-native/status-bar';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    MyApp
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    HttpModule,
    IonicModule.forRoot(MyApp)
  ],
  bootstrap: [IonicApp],
  entryComponents: [
    MyApp
  ],
  providers: [
    {provide: ErrorHandler, useClass: IonicErrorHandler},
    SplashScreen,
    StatusBar
  ]
})
export class AppModule {}

Hope that helps somebody!

Answer 3

import { HomePageModule } from '../pages/home/home.module';
import { JobsPageModule } from '../pages/jobs/jobs.module';

You do not need to import these two pages, since in your home.module.ts and jobs.module.ts already defined the imports. See if removing those will help.
