<title>ion-route: API Route Component for Ionic Framework Apps</title>

import EncapsulationPill from '@components/page/api/EncapsulationPill';

The route component takes a component and renders it when the Browser URL matches the url property.

:::note Note: this component should only be used with vanilla and Stencil JavaScript projects. For Angular projects, use ion-router-outlet and the Angular router. :::

Navigation Hooks

Navigation hooks can be used to perform tasks or act as navigation guards. Hooks are used by providing functions to the beforeEnter and beforeLeave properties on each ion-route. Returning true allows navigation to proceed, while returning false causes it to be cancelled. Returning an object of type NavigationHookOptions allows you to redirect navigation to another page.

Interfaces

interface NavigationHookOptions {
  /**
   * A valid path to redirect navigation to.
   */
  redirect: string;
}
