title: Is there an Ionic pull down refresh spinner like Gmail App?
body: <p>I know there is 'pull down to refresh' in ionic, but this pulls the view down.</p>
  
  <p>I was looking to see if there's a spinner that pulls down <strong>in front of</strong> the current view, as happens in Android Gmail app</p>
  
  <p>For Android it's called SwipeRefreshLayout</p>

  It's seems a bit janky, although it's the idea I was after but for Angular 2+</p>
