Thx for adding the point on the idea list.
Agree with you, with a “service” it’s possible to pass parameters to the back view, that is actually the solution I developed in Ionic1.
More than just a “coding pain”, it’s also a little bit less performant I think (in the transition itself and in the boot load time of the app, since the app have to load a directive more)
Still if someone got another idea, I would like to hear it
