Ionic tabs re-init component

Question

I am using ion-tabs and ion-tab components for Ionic 3. Currently, when user switches between tabs the component in the tab <ion-tab [root]="SomeComponent"></ion-tab> is only initialized when the user switches to it first time. After that ,there is no more call of the ionViewDidLoad or ngOnInit. The question is: Is it possible to destroy the component on tab change and then initialize it again later?

Answer 1

Use the ionViewWillEnter and ionViewWillEnter lifecycle event on your page.

You can put the correct code in that method to initialize or destroy necessary things on your page
