Current behavior:

The documentation lists NavController.setPages() to take an array of pages with their params as the first argument. However, there is no example of doing this and I cannot, for the life of me, figure it out.

Expected behavior:

import {HelloPage} from "pages/hello";
[...]
// works as expected
let options = {name: "Bill"};
this.navController.setRoot(HelloPage, options);


// how would I pass the params in setPages?
this.navController.setPages([GoodbyePage, HelloPage]);
this.navController.setPages([GoodbyePage, HelloPage], options); // doesn't work
this.navController.setPages([GoodbyePage, [HelloPage, options]]); // what I expected to work but doesn't

I think I figured it out but only after pouring through the source code. There are no easy examples online, anywhere.

this.navController.setPages([GoodbyePage, {page: HelloPage, params: options}]);
