Deprecation Notice

ion-picker-legacy is deprecated and will be removed in the next major release. Migrate to ion-picker as soon as possible.

A Picker is a dialog that displays a row of buttons and columns underneath. It appears on top of the app's content, and at the bottom of the viewport.

Inline Pickers (Recommended)

ion-picker-legacy can be used by writing the component directly in your template. This reduces the number of handlers you need to wire up in order to present the Picker.

Using isOpen

The isOpen property on ion-picker-legacy allows developers to control the presentation state of the Picker from their application state. This means when isOpen is set to true the Picker will be presented, and when isOpen is set to false the Picker will be dismissed.

isOpen uses a one-way data binding, meaning it will not automatically be set to false when the Picker is dismissed. Developers should listen for the ionPickerDidDismiss or didDismiss event and set isOpen to false. The reason for this is it prevents the internals of ion-picker from being tightly coupled with the state of the application. With a one way data binding, the Picker only needs to concern itself with the boolean value that the reactive variable provides. With a two way data binding, the Picker needs to concern itself with both the boolean value as well as the existence of the reactive variable itself. This can lead to non-deterministic behaviors and make applications harder to debug.

Controller Pickers

The pickerController can be used in situations where more control is needed over when the Picker is presented and dismissed.

Multiple Columns
