bug: $ionicConfig.views.swipeBackEnabled can't be changed

Type: feat

Platform: ios 8 webview

Is it possible to disable "swipe to go back" on specific views?

I would like to disable it on forms, where I have implemented a confirmation before closing/moving away from the view.

See also Ionic forum thread: #18808

Do you tried using $ionicHistory.nextViewOptions? http://ionicframework.com/docs/api/service/$ionicHistory/

$ionicHistory.nextViewOptions({
  disableBack: true
});

I'm sure that with historyRoot: true swipe to go back doesn't works, but with disableBack: true I'm not sure.

I tried what @felquis suggested, but it didn't work.

You should be able to disable it in the state's controller. Something like:

.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope, $ionicConfig) {
  $scope.$on('$ionicView.enter', function(){
    $ionicConfig.views.swipeBackEnabled(false);
  })
  $scope.$on('$ionicView.leave', function(){
    $ionicConfig.views.swipeBackEnabled(true);
  })
});

Does that do the trick?

@perrygovier Thank your for your feedback.

I added to the controller of the according state/view.
Both functions are firing, either on enter and leave as expected.

However I still can swipe to leave the state/view.

I tested on 1.0.0-rc.0 and 1.0.0-rc.3

@perrygovier This maybe along the same lines as #3281, where change the config value in the controller did nothing.

If thats the case, this would be a bug and not a feature. Passing this to @adamdbradley

Hi @adamdbradley

Thank you for your work on this issue.
I upgraded to 1.0.0-rc.4 and the code below still does not prevent "swipe to go back".
(tested in Ionic View)

.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope, $ionicConfig) {
  $scope.$on('$ionicView.enter', function(){
    $ionicConfig.views.swipeBackEnabled(false);
  })
  $scope.$on('$ionicView.leave', function(){
    $ionicConfig.views.swipeBackEnabled(true);
  })
});

@yankustefan neither works in rc.5 :-(

Ah @yankustefan simply use can-swipe-back="false" on your ion-view element
