child component with tabs not getting correct ID - ionic/angular

0

I am new to ionic, and I am trying to design a simple app to learn. I have a main page (MP), and when i click on a button on that page, I get forwarded to a new page (AP) and I have tabs. My tabs has two buttons. First button would just show that page I just got redirected to (AP). The other button goes to another page (BP) some more content associated with the first one.

this is my route:

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: '',
    loadComponent: () =>
      import('./main/main.page.component').then((m) => m.MainPage),
  },
  {
    path: 'tabs',
    component: TabsPage,
    children: [
      {
        path: 'book/:id', // dynamic route for story details
        loadComponent: () =>
          import('./story/story.component').then((m) => m.StoryComponent),
      },
      {
        path: 'review/:id',
        loadComponent: () =>
          import('./practice/practice.component').then((m) => m.PracticeComponent),
      },
      {
        path: '',
        redirectTo: '/tabs/main',
        pathMatch: 'full',
      },
    ],
  },
];

This is my tabs page:

<ion-tabs>
  <ion-tab-bar slot="bottom">
    <ion-tab-button [href]="getBookTabHref()">
      <ion-icon aria-hidden="true" name="book-outline"></ion-icon>
      <ion-label>Book</ion-label>
    </ion-tab-button>

    <ion-tab-button [href]="getReviewTabHref()">
      <ion-icon name="square"></ion-icon>
      <ion-label>Review</ion-label>
    </ion-tab-button>
  </ion-tab-bar>
</ion-tabs>

So from my main page I go to Book just fine, and I shows the correct ID. But when, from there, I try to use the tabs buttons, it does not have the ID state. I have tried a few things with the help of chatgpt, like

activeRoute.params.subscribe((params) => {
  this.id = params['id'];
  console.log('subscribe (after navigation end)', this.id);
});, 

but nothing works and my ID is lost.

What is the best practice and how do I retain that state in an app? I come from a web world, so this concept is a bit strange to me…

thanks!
