Ionic 4 / Angular 6 : Nested child routes in tabs
This all seemed extremely confusing to me. Then i realised that all i had to do in Tabs Routing was.
const routes: Routes = [
{ path: '', redirectTo: 'dashboard', pathMatch: 'full' },
{ path: '',
component: TabsPage,
children: [
{ path: 'tab1', loadChildren: '../tab1/tab1.module#tab1Module'},
{ path: 'tab2',
children: [
{ path: '', loadChildren: '../tab2/tab2.module#tab2Module'},
{ path: ':ID', loadChildren: '../tab2/tab2details.module#tab2detailsModule'},
]
},
]
},
];
Where Tab2 has a List Page and a details page.
List Page URL : /tabs/tab2
Details Page URL : /tabs/tab2/123/
The Tab2 Tab stays active when your on the list or details page, and the back button shows up when your on the details page.
With 4.0.0-beta.18 ion-tab was removed and it's not necessary to use named outlets.
Demo (with two different approaches) + Explanation:

Ionic CLI version 4.10.3
Ionic Framework @ionic/angular 4.0.1
This is how I did. In tabs.router.module.ts,
const routes: Routes = [
{
path: 'tabs',
component: TabsPage,
children: [
{
path: 'featured',
children: [
{
path: '',
loadChildren: '../tab-featured/tab-featured.module#TabFeaturedPageModule'
}
]
},
{
path: 'featured/:id',
children: [
{
path: '',
loadChildren: '../tab-featured-detail/tab-featured-detail.module#TabFeaturedDetailPageModule'
}
]
},
{
path: 'categories',
children: [
{
path: '',
loadChildren: '../tab-category/tab-category.module#TabCategoryPageModule'
}
]
},
{
path: 'popular',
children: [
{
path: '',
loadChildren: '../tab-popular/tab-popular.module#TabPopularPageModule'
}
]
},
{
path: '',
redirectTo: '/tabs/featured',
pathMatch: 'full'
}
]
},
{
path: '',
redirectTo: '/tabs/featured',
pathMatch: 'full'
}
];
tab-featured-detail.module.ts
import { IonicModule } from '@ionic/angular';
import { RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { TabFeaturedDetailPage } from './tab-featured-detail.page';
@NgModule({
imports: [
IonicModule,
CommonModule,
FormsModule,
RouterModule.forChild([{ path: '', component: TabFeaturedDetailPage }])
],
declarations: [TabFeaturedDetailPage]
})
export class TabFeaturedDetailPageModule {}
