Login -> home view?

So in what I suppose is fairly typical flow for an app, my app begins with a Login screen.

Upon successful login it moves to the home screen.

What I’m having trouble figuring out is this - which elements do I ng-controller to get everything to work?

Right now the body tag of index.html has ng-controller = LoginController

But the problem is: The “Home” view (after login) has side menus, managed by a MenuController, and then each individual page from there has its own Controller for the main content.

The menus/etc were working before I added the login screen, but that was with MenuController on the body tag and HomeController (and subsequent page controllers) on the ion-nav-view inside the ion-side-menu-content of the menus.

Is there a way to reach all the way up to the body tag and swap that controller, post login?

Is there another way to accomplish this?

I am using beta 1.0.2, btw.

Thanks!

Have a look to the demo in that page : http://ionicframework.com/docs/api/directive/ionNavView/

Basically the ui-router will set the view for you. In your login template, you will just add the form to connect and in your home template, add the side menus. That’s it.
