For an Ionic App that has implemented OnInit why is ngInit() not invoked? It is not happening even the first time the app/window is opened:
export class AudioRecorderComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
...
async ngOnInit() {
console.log('ngOnInit()') // never printed
...
}
Is there a different way to get logic to be executed when creating an Ionic component?
While in theory ngOnInit should work, try using viewWillEnter instead.
https://ionicframework.com/docs/angular/lifecycle
export class AudioRecorderComponent implements viewWillEnter {
ionViewWillEnter(): void {
console.log('view will enter');
}
}
This was due to the GoogleVoice extension. After disabling the extension the ngOnInit() proceeded correctly
