I have started an Ionic Tabs project. Now I have a button "initiateProcess" that I call with ng-click
and within the controller it performs some operations and then finishes it with going to a certain state (tab.target
) with state.go
or state.transitionTo
.
However, when I don't include that state in my tabs.html, the state will not be loaded. When I do include it, then state.go works fine. This state is independent (can be seen as a child state but not per se) and I don't want it to show in my tabs.
What is going on?
tabs.html (without the tab.target
)
<!--
Create tabs with an icon and label, using the tabs-positive style.
Each tab's child <ion-nav-view> directive will have its own
navigation history that also transitions its views in and out.
-->
<ion-tabs class="tabs-icon-top tabs-color-active-positive">
<!-- Dashboard Tab -->
<ion-tab title="Status" icon-off="ion-ios7-pulse" icon-on="ion-ios7-pulse-strong" href="#/tab/dash">
<ion-nav-view name="tab-dash"></ion-nav-view>
</ion-tab>
// when I include here Target Tab with <ion-nav-view name = "tab.target" ... then it works
<!-- Account Tab -->
<ion-tab title="Account" icon-off="ion-ios7-gear-outline" icon-on="ion-ios7-gear" href="#/tab/account">
<ion-nav-view name="tab-account"></ion-nav-view>
</ion-tab>
</ion-tabs>
