$state.go('mylocation', {}, {location:'replace'}); ignored by back button.

Let’s say I redirects users to a different view if they arrive at a route that is out of sequence:

if($state.previous.name != 'part3'){
  $state.go('part1', {}, {location:'replace'});
}

When the user is redirected the back button in the nav bar is still there, but the history API has been updated and the previous state was effectively eliminated already.

@jorgecasar Super hacky but it’s definitely the path of least resistance. Thanks for the tip. The new syntax after beta.14 is:

$ionicHistory.currentView($ionicHistory.backView());
$state.go('bla', ..., {location: 'replace'});

Hi again, after some interesting reading of the ionic code, specifically the $ionicViewService I found this solution, replace the currentView with the backView, that it’s exactly location replace does:

$rootScope.$viewHistory.currentView = $rootScope.$viewHistory.backView;
$state.go('bla');

Enjoy!
