How to use Page Transition in NativeScript

angular2-nativescript

Solution

With the provided context it's difficult to say exactly why it's not working.

All you should really need to do is:

Setup the components you're routing to:

`app-routing.module.ts`

const routes: Routes = [
  { path: '', pathMatch: 'full', redirectTo: '/home' },
  { path: 'home', component: HomeComponent },
  { path: 'about', component: AboutComponent },
  { path: 'contact', component: ContactComponent },
];

Inject the native router extensions in the component with your `router-outlet`

`app.component.ts`

import { RouterExtensions } from "@nativescript/angular/router";

@Component({
    selector: "ns-app",
    templateUrl: "./app.component.html"
})
export class AppComponent {
  constructor(private routerExtensions: RouterExtensions) {}

  public navigate(link: string): void {
    this.routerExtensions.navigate([link], {
      animated: true,
      transition: { name: 'slide' }
    });
  }
}

And of course have a way to call this method `app.component.ts`

<StackLayout>
  <FlexboxLayout>
    <Button text="Home" (tap)="navigate('home')"></Button>
    <Button text="About" (tap)="navigate('about')"></Button>
    <Button text="Contact" (tap)="navigate('contact')"></Button>
  </FlexboxLayout>
  <StackLayout>
    <page-router-outlet actionBarVisibility="never"></page-router-outlet>
  </StackLayout>
</StackLayout>

I've setup a working repo demonstrating this here https://github.com/gsavchenko/nativescript-page-transitions. These are also possible to achieve in angular not using nativescript native routing APIs.

Cheers, let me know if there are further questions.
