How to handle states when logged in (Ionic, Firebase, AngularJS)?

I am building an app in Ionic and have started to dig into the Firebase Authentication method. So far I have managed to setup a Login through Twitter properly (I can login and logout).

However, how do I set the states of the ionic framework such that only specific states (and thus pages) are shown when Logged in and others when Logged out? The code I have so far is shown below.

Ideally I would have something like a variable:

AuthRequired: true

How do you do this and what is it called?

app.js

   // Ionic Starter App

// angular.module is a global place for creating, registering and retrieving Angular modules
// 'starter' is the name of this angular module example (also set in a <body> attribute in index.html)
// the 2nd parameter is an array of 'requires'
// 'starter.services' is found in services.js
// 'starter.controllers' is found in controllers.js
angular.module('starter', ['ionic', 'ngCordova', 'firebase', 'firebase.utils', 'starter.controllers', 'starter.services', 'starter.config', 'starter.auth'])

.run(function($ionicPlatform, Auth, $rootScope) {


  $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.Keyboard) {
      cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
    }
    if (window.StatusBar) {
      // org.apache.cordova.statusbar required
      StatusBar.styleDefault();
    }
  });



  //stateChange event
  $rootScope.$on("$stateChangeStart", function(event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams){
      if (toState.authRequired && !Auth.isAuthenticated()){ //Assuming the AuthService holds authentication logic
        // User isn’t authenticated
        $state.transitionTo("login");
        event.preventDefault(); 
      }
  });





})

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

  // Ionic uses AngularUI Router which uses the concept of states
  // Learn more here: https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router
  // Set up the various states which the app can be in.
  // Each state's controller can be found in controllers.js
  $stateProvider

  // setup an abstract state for the tabs directive
    .state('tab', {
    url: "/tab",
    abstract: true,
    templateUrl: "templates/tabs.html"
  })

  // Each tab has its own nav history stack:

  .state('tab.dash', {
    url: '/dash',
    views: {
      'tab-dash': {
        templateUrl: 'templates/tab-dash.html',
        controller: 'DashCtrl',
        authRequired: true
      },
    }
  })

  .state('tab.chats', {
      url: '/chats',
      views: {
        'tab-chats': {
          templateUrl: 'templates/tab-chats.html',
          controller: 'ChatsCtrl',
           authRequired: true
        }
      }
    })
    .state('tab.chat-detail', {
      url: '/chats/:chatId',
      views: {
        'tab-chats': {
          templateUrl: 'templates/chat-detail.html',
          controller: 'ChatDetailCtrl',
           authRequired: true
        }
      }
    })

  .state('tab.friends', {
      url: '/friends',
      views: {
        'tab-friends': {
          templateUrl: 'templates/tab-friends.html',
          controller: 'FriendsCtrl',
           authRequired: true
        }
      }
    })
    .state('tab.friend-detail', {
      url: '/friend/:friendId',
      views: {
        'tab-friends': {
          templateUrl: 'templates/friend-detail.html',
          controller: 'FriendDetailCtrl',
           authRequired: true
        }
      }
    })

  .state('tab.account', {
    url: '/account',
    views: {
      'tab-account': {
        templateUrl: 'templates/tab-account.html',
        controller: 'AccountCtrl',
           authRequired: true
      }
    }
  })

  .state('tab.example', {
    url: '/example',
    views: {
      'tab-example': {
        templateUrl: 'templates/tab-example.html',
        controller: 'ExampleCtrl',
           authRequired: true
      }
    }
  })


  .state('tab.overview', {
    url: '/overview',
    views: {
      'tab-overview': {
        templateUrl: 'templates/tab-overview.html',
        controller: 'OverviewCtrl',
           authRequired: true
      }
    }
  })

  .state('tab.login', {
    url: '/login',
    views: {
      'tab-login': {
        templateUrl: 'templates/tab-login.html',
        controller: 'LoginCtrl',
           authRequired: true
      }
    }
  });

  // if none of the above states are matched, use this as the fallback
  $urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/tab/dash');

You are almost there. All you need is to ensure your states are marked appropriate with the custom property 'AuthRequired' and listen for $stateChangeStart event to check for authentication. This event fires each time you move with in the application.

.run(function($ionicPlatform, AuthService) {
      //ionic init code    

      //stateChange event
      $rootScope.$on("$stateChangeStart", function(event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams){
      if (toState.authRequired && !AuthService.isAuthenticated()){ //Assuming the AuthService holds authentication logic
        // User isn’t authenticated
        $state.transitionTo("login");
        event.preventDefault(); 
      }
    });
}

.state('tab.dash', {
    url: '/dash',
    views: {
      'tab-dash': {
        templateUrl: 'templates/tab-dash.html',
        controller: 'DashCtrl',
        authRequired: true
      }
    }
  })

  .state('tab.chats', {
      url: '/chats',
      views: {
        'tab-chats': {
          templateUrl: 'templates/tab-chats.html',
          controller: 'ChatsCtrl',
          authRequired: true
        }
      }
    })

The best place to have $stateChangeStart event handler would be the app run.

I had the same problem that yours! Take a look how I solved it!

app.js

angular.module('app', ['ionic','firebase', 'app.controllers', 'app.routes', 'app.directives','app.services','app.filters',])

.run(function($ionicPlatform, $rootScope, $state) {
  $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);
      cordova.plugins.Keyboard.disableScroll(true);
    }
    if (window.StatusBar) {//
      // org.apache.cordova.statusbar required
      StatusBar.styleDefault();
    }
  });

  //stateChange event
  $rootScope.$on("$stateChangeStart", function(event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams){
    var user = firebase.auth().currentUser;
    if (toState.authRequired && !user){ //Assuming the AuthService holds authentication logic
      // User isn’t authenticated
      $state.transitionTo("login");
      event.preventDefault(); 
    }
  });
  // Initialize Firebase Here

})

routes.js

angular.module('app.routes', ['ionicUIRouter'])

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

  $stateProvider  

  .state('login', {
    url: '/login',
    templateUrl: 'templates/login.html',
    controller: 'loginCtrl'
  })

 .state('menu', {
    url: '/menu',
    templateUrl: 'templates/menu.html',
    abstract:true,
    controller: 'menuCtrl'
  })

  .state('menu.dash', {
    url: '/contas',
    templateUrl: 'templates/dash.html',
    controller: 'contasCtrl',
    authRequired: true
  })

$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/login')

});
