Trigger backbutton from component

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hi there,

I’ve got an app where I need to navigate to a page with an url('<a href="#/home/myPage/' + id + '">OpenPage</a>'). I think navigating through url’s is the same action as navCtrl.setRoot('myPage'), meaning there are no pages in the history. When opening this page, I would like to be able to go back to the previous page with the state restored. I’ve tried navCtrl.pop(), but since there’s no pages in the backstack I get an error.

However, when I press the back button in Android I get the exact action I would like to happen, but I can not find how to trigger the backbutton from code. Is this possible, and if not, how can I achieve the described scenario? Navigating without url’s is not an option, and I do really need the <a href> since I substract url’s from text and open this url in the other page in my app.

Then you could also parse the url to understand where it should go and do it the Ionic way.

Sayeth the 3.5.0 CHANGELOG:

For now, we don’t recommend using href attributes in the application. Using the navPush and navPop directives is a better option for now while URL support is being built-out.

The reason for this is:

I retrieve twitter streams. I want to open the url’s in the message in an inAppBrowser. Since I don’t know where and how many url’s in a twitter message, I find the url with regex and then add the <a href>
