AngularJS UI-router stateprovider issue - angularjs

Question

Im currently using Ionic and was playing with a app with tabs. (I.e has a bottom bar with icons).
Right now I want to remove it but ended messing up the routing. The devtools does not show any errors. I cannot transit from login page to main "posts" page. On login, clicking the login button does do anything. I have edited the state.go('') in the controllers accordingly.
Ill show before and after the changes.
Would it make sense to remove views :{} totally? I find it complicates things and I do not use nested views. Not sure if modal page requires views.
Appreciate some help/ advice on how to get around the error.
Before
.state('tab', {
url: '/tab',
abstract: true,
templateUrl: 'templates/tabs.html'
})
// --------Authenticate states ----------------
.state('auth', {
url: '/auth',
templateUrl: 'templates/auth.html',
controller: 'StartCtrl'
})
.state('register', {
url: '/register',
templateUrl: 'templates/register.html',
controller: 'AuthCtrl',
})
.state('login', {
url: '/login',
templateUrl: 'templates/login.html',
controller: 'AuthCtrl',
})
// ---------- Main states ---------------------
.state('tab.posts', {
url: '/posts',
views: {
'tab-posts': {
templateUrl: 'templates/tab-posts.html',
controller: 'PostsCtrl'
}
}
})
.state('tab.newpost', {
url: '/newpost',
views: {
'tab-posts': {
templateUrl: 'templates/tab-newpost.html',
controller: 'NavCtrl'
}
}
})
.state('tab.posts.view', {
url: '/posts/:postId',
views: {
'tab-posts#tab': {
templateUrl: 'templates/tab-showpost.html',
controller: 'PostViewCtrl'
}
}
})
.state('tab.profile', {
url: '/users/:userId',
views: {
'tab-posts': {
templateUrl: 'templates/tab-profile.html',
controller: 'ProfileCtrl',
}
}
})
After
.state('/', {
url: '/',
abstract: true,
templateUrl: 'templates/tab-posts.html'
})
// --------Authenticate states ----------------
.state('auth', {
url: '/auth',
templateUrl: 'templates/auth.html',
controller: 'StartCtrl'
})
.state('register', {
url: '/register',
templateUrl: 'templates/register.html',
controller: 'AuthCtrl',
resolve: {
user: function(Auth){
return Auth.resolveUser();
}
}
})
.state('login', {
url: '/login',
templateUrl: 'templates/login.html',
controller: 'AuthCtrl',
resolve: {
user: function(Auth){
return Auth.resolveUser();
}
}
})
//----------- Main states--------------------
.state('posts', {
url: '/posts',
views: {
'posts': {
templateUrl: 'templates/tab-posts.html',
controller: 'PostsCtrl'
}
}
})
.state('newpost', {
url: '/newpost',
views: {
'posts': {
templateUrl: 'templates/tab-newpost.html',
controller: 'NavCtrl'
}
}
})
.state('posts.view', {
url: '/posts/:postId',
views: {
'posts#': {
templateUrl: 'templates/tab-showpost.html',
controller: 'PostViewCtrl'
}
}
})
.state('profile', {
url: '/users/:userId',
views: {
'posts': {
templateUrl: 'templates/tab-profile.html',
controller: 'ProfileCtrl',
}
}
});

Remove you resolver from your login state.
.state('login', {
url: '/login',
templateUrl: 'templates/login.html',
controller: 'AuthCtrl',
})
If a someone want to go to login, you can't force him to be logged in.
