Ionic 4 : Setting root page

Question

In Ionic 4 I couldn't find a suitable way to replace the default root page after the splash screen. Following is the default setup.

this.platform.ready().then(() => {
  this.statusBar.styleDefault();
  this.splashScreen.hide();
});

Answer 1

Found the solution. First create the page you want to make as root page

 ionic generate page pagename

In app.component.ts

 import { Router } from '@angular/router';

Inside the constructor add

 private router : Router

and then initialize

 initializeApp() {
     this.platform.ready().then(() => {
       this.router.navigateByUrl('pagename');
       this.statusBar.styleDefault();
       this.splashScreen.hide();
     });
 }
