Where does ion-new-view begin to look for first state?

Question

I cant seem to find any documentation on how ion-nav-view loads its first template. Any help will be appreciated.

I have just tried that and it still gives me a blank page. I think it is not configured properly. I have posted the code below. Thank you for the help @entre — HerculesDev, Jul 18 '16 at 10:04

Does default mean it will see my findEvents state and load that template first? @entre

app.js

angular.module('starter', ['ionic', 'starter.controllers',     'ionic.contrib.ui.tinderCards'])

.run(function ($ionicPlatform) {
$ionicPlatform.ready(function () {
    // Hide the accessory bar by default (remove this to show the accessory  bar above the keyboard
    // for form inputs)
    if (window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins &&     window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
        cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
    }
    if (window.StatusBar) {
        // org.apache.cordova.statusbar required
        StatusBar.styleLightContent();
    }
});
})

.config(function ($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {

$stateProvider

 .state('FindEvents', {
     url: 'index.html',
     templateUrl: 'templates/events.html',
     controller: 'EventsCtrl'
 }
 )

.state('favorites', {
    url: '/favorites',
    templateUrl: 'templates/favorites.html',
    controller: 'FavoritesCtrl'
})

//alert("working");
// if none of the above states are matched, use this as the fallback
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/findEvents')

});

index.html:

angular.module('starter.controllers', [])

.directive('noScroll', function () {
return {
    restrict: 'A',
    link: function ($scope, $element, $attr) {
        $element.on('touchmove', function (e) {

.controller('EventsCtrl', function ($scope, $state) {

$scope.cards = [];

$scope.addCard = function () {

        var newCard = cardTypes[p];
        newCard.id = Math.random();
        $scope.cards.push(angular.extend({}, newCard));
    }
}

$scope.addCard();

$scope.cardDestroyed = function (index) {
    $scope.cards.splice(index, 1);
};

$scope.cardSwipedLeft = function (index) {
    console.log('Left swipe');
}

$scope.cardSwipedRight = function (index) {
    console.log('Right swipe');
}

$scope.cardDestroyed = function (index) {
    $scope.cards.splice(index, 1);
    console.log('Card removed');
}

//Transitioning between states
$scope.Favorites = function () {

    $state.go('favorites');
}
});

I think you uploaded code to enhance question so you should have pasted this code by editing your question instead of adding it as an answer. — Ritesh Jagga, Jul 18 '16 at 10:39

Your app.js config block should be:

$stateProvider

 .state('FindEvents', {
     url: 'findEvents',
     templateUrl: 'templates/events.html',
     controller: 'EventsCtrl'
 })

.state('favorites', {
    url: '/favorites',
    templateUrl: 'templates/favorites.html',
    controller: 'FavoritesCtrl'
})

//alert("working");
// if none of the above states are matched, use this as the fallback
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/findEvents')

url of FindEvents state should be findEvents and not index.html. url is not a reference to any html file but a string that you'll use to identify the route.

It is not easy to identify issues with angular-ui-router due to lots of configuration. You can make use of this FAQ's suggestion for any future related issues.

Thanks Ritesh. I did try that and it still is not working. The default template is not being complied leaving me with a white screen @Ritesh Jagga — HerculesDev, Jul 18 '16 at 17:56
