Setting multiple controllers in one state, IONIC - angularjs

Question

I want to check if there is a user signed in, for it to redirect to another page, if there is no user, i want to redirect to the homePage. The home page has a controller called storeCtrl.
I tried this:
.state('homePage',
{
url: '/homePage',
templateUrl: 'templates/homePage/homePage.html',
controller:'storeCtrl',
function ($localStorage,$state) {
if ($localStorage.user) {
$state.go('tabs.profile');
} else {
$state.go('homePage');
}
}
})
but it doesn't work. I tried this also:
.state('homePage',
{
url: '/homePage',
templateUrl: 'templates/homePage/homePage.html',
controller:
function ($localStorage,$state) {
if ($localStorage.user) {
$state.go('tabs.profile');
} else {
$state.go('homePage'),
controller:storeCtrl
}
}
})
but that also didn't work.

Answer 1

instead of putting it in the state. try to add this inside app.run
app.run(function($ionicPlatform,$state,$rootScope,$localStorage) {
$ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
//your code
})
$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', function (event,next, nextParams, fromState,fromParams) {
var nextScreen=next.name;
if (nextScreen!="homePage" && $localStorage.user===undefined) {
event.preventDefault();
$state.go('homePage');
return;
}
});
})
