Improve this doc

The Content component provides an easy to use content area with some useful methods to control the scrollable area.

The content area can also implement pull-to-refresh with the Refresher component.

Usage

<ion-content>
  Add your content here!
</ion-content>

To get a reference to the content component from a Page's logic, you can use Angular's @ViewChild annotation:

import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { Content } from 'ionic-angular';

@Component({...})
export class MyPage{
  @ViewChild(Content) content: Content;

  scrollToTop() {
    this.content.scrollToTop();
  }
}

A number representing how many pixels the top of the content has been adjusted, which could be by either padding or margin. This adjustment is to account for the space needed for the header.

    </ion-content>
`})

class E2EPage {

  toggleToolbar() {
    this.showToolbar = !this.showToolbar;
    this.content.resize();
  }

@Component({

               <button ion-button (click)="scrollTo()">Down 500px</button>
             </ion-content>`
)}
export class MyPage{
  @ViewChild(Content) content: Content;

  scrollTo() {
    // set the scrollLeft to 0px, and scrollTop to 500px
    // the scroll duration should take 200ms
    this.content.scrollTo(0, 500, 200);
