I’m not sure but entryComponents are for components that must be loaded also if not template tag is found around.
IMHO, basically all the components you push onto a NavController stack must be declared also in entryComponents.

I wish that “ionic generate page $page” could save that tedious task for us :slight_smile:

See What is an entry component? in the Angular docs.

My pipes are declarations but no entryComponents.
