Is there a way to programmatically trigger the ion-refresher?

I have a view with an ion-refresher that loads data initially. I’d like to programmatically trigger the ion-refresher so that the user sees the small spinner as the view initially loads, so that I can re-use the same loading indicator.

Is this possible?

There’s not way to programmatically trigger the pull-down refresh animation, but you can still call the function that fetches the data.

Hi. How can I simulate pull-down refresher, for purpose of e2e testing in protractor?
Is there any way to trigger it by plain js?
