Hello,

I am creating an app where the components of a page are loaded dynamically.

I have a ‘root-page’ with a list of items and when an item is chosen, it will open another page and it will load all component based on a JSON. The thing is that the 2nd page needs to have a navbar or ion-tabs. Whenever I click a tab of ion-tabs, it needs to change the component on that page, i don’t need routing. Is there any way to use ion-tabs without routing?

I hope someone can help me.
