Angular 2/3/4/5: change detection on data-bound array push/unshift, pop/shift or splice

<myComponent [arrayInput]="myArray"></myComponent>

$searchbar-ios-input-search-icon-svg: "<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 13 13'> <path fill='fg-color' d='M5,1c2.2,0,4,1.8,4,4S7.2,9,5,9S1,7.2,1,5S2.8,1,5,1 M5,0C… Read more

The current behaviour of the Ionic 3 Menu component doesn’t allow the menu to stay open if the user interacts with other content in the app.
There are a couple of reasons to want a static menu, with the content still in full view:
- Desktop web apps have sufficient space to show a menu and content simultaneously and we want a drawer to mimic a SplitPane
- Mobile
Subtle Ionic 3 gotchas: don’t import and push the page module you are trying to load lazily
With a page you want to be loaded lazily and not eagerly, don’t fall into the subtle trap of trying to push the module onto the stack rather than just the name of the module as a string.
In your page you wanted to have lazy loading, you probably added the decorator (or ionic CLI may have generated this for you):

Apache to Nginx transition on WordPress – don’t forget the permalinks
After having transitioned from Apache to Nginx as the web service for this blog, I noticed an immediate drop-off from search engine traffic to links outside of the index page. Just attributing it to blind bad luck for a few days, I later realized that permalinks were broken because I didn’t correctly translate the rewrite rules from the Apache confi… Read more
