As Ionic Framework Doc explain, navigation inside <ion-nav-view> will be tracked so that <ion-nav-buttons> and <ion-nav-buttons> in <ion-nav-bar> will work properly to show if backward or hamburger button should be shown.
The following codes shows the starter template of Ionic Framework. I wonder why the navigation inside <ion-side-menu> is not tracked by the <ion-nav-view>
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no, width=device-width">
<title></title>

</head>
<body ng-app="starter">
<ion-nav-view></ion-nav-view>
</body>
</html>
menu.html
<ion-side-menus enable-menu-with-back-views="false">
<ion-side-menu-content>
<ion-nav-bar class="bar-stable">
<ion-nav-back-button>
</ion-nav-back-button>
<ion-nav-buttons side="left">
<button class="button button-icon button-clear ion-navicon" menu-toggle="left">
</button>
</ion-nav-buttons>
</ion-nav-bar>
<ion-nav-view name="menuContent"></ion-nav-view>
</ion-side-menu-content>
<ion-side-menu side="left">
<ion-content>
<ion-list>
<ion-item menu-close href="#/app/search">
Search
</ion-item>
<ion-item menu-close href="#/app/browse">
Browse
</ion-item>
<ion-item menu-close href="#/app/playlists">
Playlists
</ion-item>
</ion-list>
</ion-content>
</ion-side-menu>
</ion-side-menus>
platlists.html
<ion-view view-title="Playlists">
<ion-content>
<ion-list>
<ion-item ng-repeat="playlist in playlists" href="#/app/playlists/{{playlist.id}}">
{{playlist.title}}
</ion-item>
</ion-list>
</ion-content>
</ion-view>
app.js
angular.module('starter', ['ionic', 'starter.controllers'])
.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
$stateProvider
.state('app', {
url: '/app',
abstract: true,
templateUrl: 'templates/menu.html',
})
.state('app.playlists', {
url: '/playlists',
views: {
'menuContent': {
templateUrl: 'templates/playlists.html'
}
}
});
// if none of the above states are matched, use this as the fallback
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/app/playlists');
});
My question is why the <ion-nav-view> in menu.html is not tracking my navigation (no backward history) when I am clicking on <ion-item> in menu.html. However, the navigation is being tracked when I click on <ion-item> in playlists.html.
- May I know when will the
<ion-nav-view>tracks navigation? - One more question, why the navigation is tracked by
<ion-nav-view>in menu.html but not the one in index.html?
Apologize for my bad english and messy organization. Thanks in advance.
