<ion-segment> pre-populate data

I have created 2 segments on my page using .Each segment displays the data once i click on . Data gets populated with help of the code present inside my constructor.
By default when i reach on this page, it is completely blank and data only gets loaded once i click on the segment button. Is there any way to populate the data of default segment as soon as i reach on this page?

Could you please show us your template and typescript code? Little bit hard to tell without it. If I have to guess I think you might haven’t set any default value to your segments to bind to.

Hi lukkschoen…here you go…

}

Inside your typescript you have this:
messagelist: string = "messageboard";

this should be the same as this:

<div [ngSwitch]="messageslist">

Notice the difference? Missing a letter S on the messagelist declaration.

wow…such a silly mistake. Thanks for pointing this out.

Have a great day ahead…

No problem. Sometimes it’s good to have a fresh pair of eyes looking at your code.
