Menu won't appear in ionic2 with typescript
<p>i'm trying to create a simple menu in the navbar with ionic2. i've followed the tut's but it won't work in my application and i can't seem to understand why. This is the current code i have: 
app.ts</p>

<pre><code>import {App, Platform} from 'ionic-angular';
import {TabsPage} from './pages/tabs/tabs';
import {MenuPage} from './pages/menu/menu';

@App({
  templateUrl: 'build/index.html',
  config: {} // http://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/api/config/Config/
})
export class MyApp {
  static get parameters() {
    return [[Platform]];
  }

  constructor(platform) {
    this.rootPage = TabsPage;
    platform.ready().then(() =&gt; {
    });
  }

}
</code></pre>

<p>index.html:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;ion-nav #content [root]="rootPage"&gt;&lt;/ion-nav&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>menu.ts: </p>

<pre><code>import{Page, MenuController} from 'ionic-angular';
@Page({
    templateUrl: 'build/pages/menu/menu.html'
})
export class MenuPage {
 constructor(menu: MenuController) {
   this.menu = menu;
 }

 openMenu() {
   this.menu.open();
 }

}
</code></pre>

<p>menu.html: </p>

<pre><code>&lt;ion-menu  persistent="true" [content]="content"&gt;
  &lt;ion-toolbar&gt;
    &lt;ion-title&gt;Instellingen&lt;/ion-title&gt;
  &lt;/ion-toolbar&gt;
  &lt;ion-content&gt;
    &lt;ion-list&gt;
      &lt;button ion-item&gt;
        Informatie
      &lt;/button&gt;
      &lt;button ion-item&gt;
        Veelgestelde vragen
      &lt;/button&gt;
      &lt;button ion-item&gt;
        Algemene Voorwaarden
      &lt;/button&gt;
    &lt;/ion-list&gt;
  &lt;/ion-content&gt;
&lt;/ion-menu&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>As far as the docs go this should work.. but it won't in my case, so does anyone see what i'm missing? </p>

<p>No errors, i don't see any problems view loads normally. Just no menu and i followed the getting started toturial</p>
