Just wondering if there is any way to trigger a Popover on view init?
Basically it’s a tour functionality, so the first time a user goes to a screen the popover will automatically be displayed on a button. I was able to get it to automatically show a popover with the following code but it doesn’t get attached to the element, it just displays it in the middle of the screen.
preview.ts
// Import modules
import { Component, OnInit, ViewChild, ElementRef } from '@angular/core';
import { NavController, ToastController, PopoverController } from '@ionic/angular';
import { PopoverSimpleComponent } from '../../components/popover-simple/popover-simple.component';
@Component({
selector: 'app-preview',
templateUrl: './preview.page.html',
styleUrls: ['./preview.page.scss'],
})
export class ProgramPage implements OnInit {
@ViewChild('addButton', { read: ElementRef, static: false}) addButton: ElementRef;
constructor(
public navCtrl: NavController,
public toastCtrl: ToastController,
public popoverCtrl: PopoverController
) {
}
async ngOnInit() {
this.presentPopover(this.addButton.nativeElement, 'Text instructions');
}
}
preview.html (relevant component only)
<ion-button #addButton class="b-add-to-library" color="primary" size="small" (click)="addToLibrary($event)">
<ion-icon name="add"></ion-icon>
<ion-label>Add to Library</ion-label>
</ion-button>
Cheers!
