Shane 814c2e5ccd feat(refresher): add ionPullStart and ionPullEnd events (#30946)
Issue number: resolves #24524

---------

<!-- Please do not submit updates to dependencies unless it fixes an
issue. -->

<!-- Please try to limit your pull request to one type (bugfix, feature,
etc). Submit multiple pull requests if needed. -->

## What is the current behavior?
There is no way to know when the refresher has fully returned to its
inactive state after a pull gesture. The existing `ionStart` event fires
when pulling begins, but there is no corresponding end event. Watching
the progress property is insufficient because hitting zero doesn’t
necessarily mean the user has completed the pull gesture.


## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->

Two new events are added to the refresher component:
- `ionPullStart`: Emitted when the user begins pulling down (same as
`ionStart`, which is now deprecated)
- `ionPullEnd`: Emitted when the refresher returns to inactive state,
with a `reason` property of `'complete'` or `'cancel'` indicating
whether the refresh operation completed successfully or was cancelled

This allows you to know both when the user is no longer touching the
screen AND when the refresher is ready to be pulled again.

## Does this introduce a breaking change?

- [ ] Yes
- [X] No

<!--
  If this introduces a breaking change:
1. Describe the impact and migration path for existing applications
below.
  2. Update the BREAKING.md file with the breaking change.
3. Add "BREAKING CHANGE: [...]" to the commit description when merging.

Testing Local Ionic Framework with ng add

This guide shows you how to test the local Ionic Framework build with a new Angular application using ng add. This is useful for development and testing changes before publishing.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js and npm installed
  • Angular CLI installed globally (npm install -g @angular/cli)

Build Local Ionic Framework

  1. Clone the repository (if not already done):

    git clone https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework.git
    cd ionic-framework
    
  2. Pull the latest from main

    git pull origin main
    
  3. Install dependencies and build the core package:

    cd core
    npm install
    npm run build
    
  4. Install dependencies, sync the core build and build the Angular package:

    cd ../packages/angular
    npm install
    npm run sync
    npm run build
    
  5. Create a tarball:

    cd dist
    npm pack
    
  6. Copy the tarball to Downloads:

    cp ionic-angular-*.tgz ~/Downloads/ionic-angular.tgz
    

Test with New Angular App

  1. Create a new Angular app:

    # Change to whichever directory you want the app in
    cd ~/Documents/
    ng new my-app --style=css --ssr=false --zoneless=false
    cd my-app
    
  2. Install the local @ionic/angular package:

    npm install ~/Downloads/ionic-angular.tgz
    
  3. Run ng add:

    ng add @ionic/angular --skip-confirmation
    
  4. Serve the app:

    ng serve
    

The local Ionic Framework build is now active in the Angular app. Changes to the Ionic source code require rebuilding the packages and reinstalling the tarball to see updates.

Project Structure

common

This is where logic that is shared between lazy loaded and standalone components live. For example, the lazy loaded IonPopover and standalone IonPopover components extend from a base IonPopover implementation that exists in this directory.

Note: This directory exposes internal APIs and is only accessed in the standalone and src submodules. Ionic developers should never import directly from @ionic/angular/common. Instead, they should import from @ionic/angular or @ionic/angular/standalone.

standalone

This is where the standalone component implementations live. It was added as a separate entry point to avoid any lazy loaded logic from accidentally being pulled in to the final build. Having a separate directory allows the lazy loaded implementation to remain accessible from @ionic/angular for backwards compatibility.

Ionic developers can access this by importing from @ionic/angular/standalone.

src

This is where the lazy loaded component implementations live.

Ionic developers can access this by importing from @ionic/angular.
