Hide back button by default

[adamdbradley]

The back button should be hidden by default so it doesn't flicker on initial page loads.

Fixed.

I updated Ionic and now my back buttons are hidden (class="hide"), which I am guessing is because of this "Hide back button by default". So, how do I show it now?

[ajoslin]

What's the markup for your ionNavBar?

[guillermin]

<ion-nav-bar type="bar-light" 
  back-button-type="button-icon button-clear" 
  back-button-icon="ion-ios7-arrow-back" 
  align-title="right"></ion-nav-bar>

[ajoslin]

That looks right. What kind of navigation are you doing where you expect back buttons and they aren't showing up?

[guillermin]

I'm not sure I understand your question, but I arrive at the page I have the nav-bar in through a link. Specifically, a link on "#/cardholder" with href="#/slide-box/card/{{card.id}}" where slide-box is an abstract state with a header (where the back button should be to take you back to "#/cardholder") and a slide-box in the content.

[ajoslin]

It's gettting a little clearer, Would you mind sharing your state definitions?

[guillermin]

.state('cardholder', {
    url: '/cardholder?tag',
    templateUrl: 'templates/cardholder.html',
    controller: 'CardholderCtrl'
  })
  .state('slide-box', {
    url: '/slide-box',
    abstract: true,
    templateUrl: 'templates/slide-box.html',
    controller: 'SlideBoxCtrl'
  })
  .state('slide-box.card', {
    url: '/card/:cardId',
    templateUrl: 'templates/card.html',
    controller: 'CardCtrl'
  });

OK. I think there's no back button from the nav-view because you are changing from one parent state to another ('cardholder' parent to 'slide-box' parent). The back button works when you're under the same parent state. Think of it like the nav-bar thinks you 'switched tabs' - or switched to a new navigation stack - because your state changed.

You have a couple choices:

1. Put the cardholder under the slide-box state
2. Make your own back button on this page (using left-buttons)

OK, I went for option 3 and it is working, thanks!
