Navigation and back menus

Ionic Framework has strong navigation support in the form of various directives such as ionNavView, ionView, ionNavBar, and so on. Ionic stores and maintains the navigation history in the mobile app. It dictates the transitions appropriately. An app section can have multiple views, which maintain separate navigation histories.

The UI Router module and states are an integral part of the design for the navigation concepts. The <ion-nav-view> directive has already been explained in the first section while defining the UI Router module.

<ion-view> is another directive that should be used as a container for the content of any view. It should have a <ion-content> directive and can have header and navbar information. It defines the title of the parent ionNavBar using the view-title attribute. There are other attributes such as cache-view to enable caching, hide-back-button to define whether the back button should be displayed or not, and hide-nav-bar attribute to define whether to hide the parent ionNavBar or not:
