I beleve this has changed since beta2 and you need to manually add the icon now. See the breaking changes for beta2 here: 1.0.0-beta.2 'aluminum' released!
Here’s the part regarding the right arrow icon:
BREAKING CHANGE: The developer should be stating exactly how an icon
should show, but previously the right nav arrow icon violates this by
automatically showing a right arrow when an item was an anchor or
button. Instead of using the :after
item selector, which was always
applied by default, it uses the same markup as item-icon-right
, which
is easier to understand, customizable and not a hard coded default.
This change removes the :after
nav icon styling, and creates a new
class, icon-accessory
, based off of similar CSS. The change makes a
nav arrow highly customizable, allows RTL developers to easily control
the arrow direction, and the accessory class is something that’s
reusable.
An example of right side arrow using ion-chevron-right
as the icon:
<a class="item item-icon-right" href="#">
Check mail
<i class="icon ion-chevron-right icon-accessory"></i>
</a>
