Ionic Framework Version

v8.x

Current Behavior

Starting from a basic Ionic Angular app created with the Ionic CLI and following the instructions for multiple menus in the docs, the menu controller isn't doing much at all. I have tried to investigate this, but the open issues found seem unrelated or rather remotely related (maybe a regression?).

In the following commit you can see the changes I made to the starter application.

Also, the controller's methods seem to have different return types (Promises) than what can be assumed by the documentation.

Expected Behavior

I would expect, that I can use the MenuController as described in the docs.

Steps to Reproduce

After starting the example with ionic serve,

• open the console
• and click on the buttons named TEST: ...

@netbrothers-tr you are using standalone components, but importing the MenuController from the non-standalone bundle.

When using standalone components, all service imports need to come from @ionic/angular/standalone as well.

@sean-perkins, thank you so much for clarifying this! I think we can close the issue. Are there plans to update the docs for Angular standalone usage?
