Navigation from inside modal, then retain tabs and side menu, ionic v3

[mg1075_ionic]

Able to get a working solution after viewing the NavController documentation for navigating from an overlay component:

Ionic Framework

Navigating from an Overlay Component
What if you wanted to navigate from an overlay component (popover, modal, alert, etc)? In this example, we’ve displayed a popover in our app. From the popover, we’ll get a reference of the root NavController in our app, using the getRootNav() method.

Maybe the ionic team needs to update their documentation, though, because getRootNav is deprecated.
Therefore, I went with the option for getting the root nav here:

getRootNav() deprecated, use getRootNavById(): what's the value of the root nav id?

You can use this this.app.getRootNavs()[0] because getRootNav() is getRootNav(): any { const rootNavs = this.getRootNavs(); if (rootNavs.length === 0) { return null; } else if (rootNavs.length > 1) { console.warn(’(getRootNav) there are multiple root navs, use getRootNavs instead’); } return rootNavs[0]; } import { App } from ‘ionic-angular’; rootNavCtrl: NavController; constructor( private app: App ) {} this.rootNavCtrl = this.app.getRootNavs()[0]
