Current behavior:

With the new IonicPage Deeplinking, manual changes to the url are not recognized. If I have a url #/home and change it to #/about, nothing happens. When reloading the browser, the AboutPage gets loaded

Expected behavior:

Manual changes to the url are recognized, as used to when using Ionic without IonicPage

Hello, thanks for opening an issue with us. Could you make a repo we could use to reproduce this issue?

[vandres]

Hi @jgw96

To speed things up, do you have any running examples of the new @IonicPage Deeplinking?

[Barryrowe]

I am with @vandres on this. I came across this issue specifically trying to find an official example project using the new IonicPage decorators for Deeplinking. I was on the verge of scrapping Ionic for a project we have, and then this feature was announced. It's a make or break decision on our use of Ionic for projects that need to be deployed for both Mobile and Desktop experiences.

@rapropos provided this link in the forums that shows a "working" example.

@jgw96
You can reproduce it with https://github.com/mhartington/star-track-ionic/tree/master/src

Search for "test".
Click the first entry.
Refresh. -> now you are on a blank page which seems to be a bug of the star-track repo
Try to change the url back to "#/menu/search". -> nothing happens

nothing happens with IonicPage from 3.0.0 to 3.1.1
has any test before publish?
@jgw96 please use blank-starter or any starter with IonicPage to reproduce this.
