Navigation Through a Side Menu
Explore how to create and manage navigation through a side menu in Ionic applications. Understand the use of Angular routing, the NavController for stack navigation, and how to set up menu items dynamically using ngFor. Learn the structure and logic behind Ionic's side menu template to improve app user experience.
