Hiding ion-nav-bar in index file

ionic-v1
1

My index file declares the ion-nav-bar for the entire app. This shows up in the pages that requires nav bar to be shown. However, i don’t want the the nav bar to be shown in the index file itself. When the app loads, the nav-bar shows up on the index page for a second before loading the login page. It is undesirable to display the nav bar in what is supposed to be a loading page. How can i fix this? Thanks.

If you dont want the index file to show, then fix your UI Router to show the first page of the app at
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise()

Normally, nav bars are hidden via:

 <ion-view hide-nav-bar="true">

 </ion-view>

Thanks for reply. I thought index file loads by default?

It does. At first, when the ionic application will be loaded, it will be located at http://localhost:8080/index.html, but then the RouteProvider service will look at the route (the part of the URL after the #) and decide what HTML template to show.
For example,
http://localhost:8080/index.html#playlists

My route is loading the login page by default. I just wonder how does everyone else does it.

As far as i know, unless needed, no one loads index as the first page :relaxed:
Even if they do, they add

<script type="text/ng-template">

because UI Router is very easy to use and follows the principle of SPA(Single Page Application) on which ionic is based.

Look at the sidemenu template.

 $ionic start myapp sidemenu

You will see how the UI Router manages the view routes with a Menu.
