Announcing Ionic v6.4

We’re excited to announce the release of Ionic 6.4, which contains improvements to modal, toast, and toggle.

Here’s what’s new in this release:

Modal canDismiss Improvements

In Ionic 6.1, we added the canDismiss property to ion-modal. This property lets developers control precisely when users can leave a modal. In Ionic 6.4, we enhanced this feature by passing the “role” and “data” information when providing a callback to canDismiss. This can be used to make more informed decisions about when a modal should dismiss.

canDismiss(role: string, data: any) {
  // Disallow dismissing the modal via a swipe gesture
  return role !== ‘gesture’;
}

Toast Duration Configuration

Toasts can now have the default duration property customized globally using the new toastDuration configuration.

IonicModule.forRoot({
  // All toasts will now dismiss after 5000ms.
  toastDuration: 5000
});

Thank you to @DwieDima for building this feature!

Toggle On/Off Label Configuration

In Ionic 6.2, we introduced the enableOnOffLabels property to ion-toggle to provide a better visual indication of state. In Ionic 6.4, we added the ability to customize this property on a global level using the new toggleOnOffLabels configuration.

IonicModule.forRoot({
  // All toggles will have on/off labels
  toggleOnOffLabels: true
});

Thank you to @EinfachHans for building this feature!
