Sometimes we may want to figure out and keep track of which IonTabButton is selected or 'active' in Ionic Framework mobile apps. This can open up a wealth of opportunities for increasing UX and improving our UI with little tricks.

In this video, I show you how to implement this and find the selected or active tab button in your app by utilizing the onIonTabsWillChange and setting the selected tab into state then using this to display some UI.
