I have a view where I have the following code:
<input type="button" value="New Post" ng-click="$state.go('blog.new-post')">
The goal is to transition to a new state without having to use href. Unfortunately the code above just does not fire.
I also tried to include $state in the controller for this view:
app.controller('blogPostsController', function($scope, $stateParams, $http, $state) ...
But still nothing. transictionTo also does not seem to work.
Anyone has any idea on how to make this work?
EDIT: I could only make it work by assigning:
$scope.$state = $state;
inside my controller. This seems ugly. There is really no other way to access $state without assigning it to scope?
