feat: remove a particular view from the history

Type: <span ionic-type>feat</span>

Platform: <span ionic-platform>mobile</span> <span ionic-webview>webview</span>

<span ionic-description>Say i have traversed 3 views and i have a history that looks like this: A -> B -> C and i am now on C:

Is there currently a way that i can remove B completely from the history - including the cached elements and scope? This would mean going back goes to A

The goBack([amount]) method works perfectly in some situations, but it doesn’t work with iOS swipe to go back. A better solution would be a method to remove a specific item in the current history. </span>

This will be a part of tonight’s nightly build. No further +1s needed 👍 . Thanks for contribution everyone!

Thanks, Dan

If you want to prevent the user to nav back to the last state you can always use $ionicHistory.goBack() before navigating to an other state.

Something like : $ionicHistory.goBack(); $state.go(‘app.home’);

It is not as flexible as being able to remove a particular page though, but in my case it was enough.
