Automatic Keyboard in Input with Ionic

Question

I need an Ionic routine that calls the Keyboard from the mobile phone for an ion-input when entering the page.

An example page would be:

<ion-content padding>
  <form>
    <ion-row>
      <ion-col>
        <ion-input #user name="user" type="text" placeholder="Usuário"></ion-input>
      </ion-col>
    </ion-row>
  </form>
</ion-content>

What I want is to use Ionic’s Navigating Lifecycle (I believe in this case using ionViewDidEnter) to bring the focus and Keyboard into the field automatically, I’ve tried some codes but unfortunately sometimes it works and other times it doesn’t, thanks in advance.

With the Keyboard class you can check if there is already some input with focus, if you can not focus it and using the plugin you can force the keyboard display.
