I’m new to Ionic and building a app using side menu template, and I already built a side-menu for admin. And I’m stuck at a problem.  
How can I have two different menus one for user and another for admin in the same app? Please Help!!

this is my code:

import { Component, ViewChild } from ‘@angular/core’;  
import { Nav, Platform } from ‘ionic-angular’;  
import { StatusBar } from ‘@ionic-native/status-bar’;  
import { SplashScreen } from ‘@ionic-native/splash-screen’;  
import { Storage } from ‘@ionic/storage’;

import { HomePage } from ‘…/pages/home/home’;  
import { ListPage } from ‘…/pages/list/list’;  
import { CreateuserPage } from ‘…/pages/createuser/createuser’;  
import { AddProjectPage } from ‘…/pages/add-project/add-project’;  
import { AssignProjectPage} from ‘…/pages/assign-project/assign-project’;  
import { AdminPage } from ‘…/pages/admin/admin’;  
import { UsrprojPage } from ‘…/pages/usrproj/usrproj’;  
import { UsrProfilePage } from ‘…/pages/usr-profile/usr-profile’;  
import { UserhomePage } from ‘…/pages/userhome/userhome’;

@Component({  
templateUrl: ‘app.html’  
})  
export class MyApp {  
pagess: Array \<{ title: string; component: any }\>;  
@ViewChild(Nav) nav: Nav;

rootPage: any = HomePage;

pages: Array\<{title: string, component: any}\>;

constructor(public platform: Platform, public statusBar: StatusBar, public splashScreen: SplashScreen) {  
this.initializeApp();

```
// used for an example of ngFor and navigation
this.pages = [// admin menu starts-------------------------------
  { title: 'Home', component: AdminPage },

 // { title: 'List', component: ListPage },
 
  { title: 'Add User', component: CreateuserPage},
  { title: 'Add Project', component: AddProjectPage},
  { title: 'Assign Project', component: AssignProjectPage},
  { title: 'Logout', component: null},//admin menu ends-------------
 
];

```

}

initializeApp() {  
this.platform.ready().then(() =\> {  
// Okay, so the platform is ready and our plugins are available.  
// Here you can do any higher level native things you might need.  
this.statusBar.styleDefault();  
this.splashScreen.hide();  
});  
}

openPage(page) {  
if(page.component) {  
this.nav.setRoot(page.component);  
} else {  
// Since the component is null, this is the logout option  
// …

```
    // logout logic
    // ...

    // redirect to home
    this.nav.setRoot(HomePage);
}

```

}  
}

you have your sidemenu options stored in array  
just make something like

```auto
if(this.isAdmin == true){
   this.sideMenuArray = this.adminArray;
} else {
   this.sideMenuArray = this.normalArray;
}

```
