Introducing Ionic 2 (Video 6)

The video tutorial explains navigation in Ionic 2, focusing on how it operates like a stack of pages. It covers three main actions: pushing a new page onto the stack, popping a page from the stack, and setting the root page. Each action is demonstrated with examples, highlighting the appearance of the back button and the concept of a root page. The tutorial concludes with a preview of how to implement these actions in custom pages.

How does navigation in Ionic 2 differ from traditional web navigation?

• It uses URLs to navigate between pages.

• It uses states to manage page transitions.

• It relies on a stack of pages without using URLs or states.

• It does not support back navigation.

What happens when you push a new page onto the stack in Ionic 2?

• The stack is cleared, and the new page is set as the root.

• A new page is added, and a back button appears.

• The application navigates to the home page.

• The current page is replaced without a back button.

What is the result of popping a page from the stack?

• You are taken to the next page in the stack.

• The application closes.

• You return to the previous page, and the back button remains if there are more pages.

• The stack is reset to the root page.

What does setting the root page in Ionic 2 navigation do?

• It adds a new page to the top of the stack.

• It removes all pages from the stack and starts fresh with no back button.

• It duplicates the current page.

• It navigates to the last page in the stack.
