angularjs: ui-router (nested view) and bootstrap tabs not playing nice

http://plnkr.co/edit/F5jojPEBVaAIyMa0CXDw
I am having issues getting the ui-router to load a fragment into a bootstrap tab body. I linked my code example above. Please let me know if I missed something. I have looked at 10 different stack overflow examples and non of them have helped solve my problem.
I have an outer ui-view that loads the initial page fragment fine.
<div id="view" ui-view></div>
Next I have the fragment that is loaded (This is where the tabs are set up)
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-10 col-lg-offset-1">
<ul id="tabs" class="nav nav-tabs" data-tabs="tabs">
<li ng-repeat="tab in tabs" ui-sref="{{tab.link}}" ui-sref-active="active"><a>{{tab.label}}</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="my-tab-content" class="tab-content" ui-view="tabs"></div>
</div>
</div>
Following that I have a two fragment pages that for test only have some text in them (request-tab.html and approved-tab.html)
Finally, I have the js file that routes the views. I left off the controllers to shorten the post. They are on the plunker if needed but they shouldn't be the issue.
var app = angular.module("BRAVO", ['ui.router', 'ui.bootstrap', 'ui.bootstrap.tpls']);
app.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/requestView/request');
$stateProvider
/* Main Views */
.state('requestView', {
url: '/requestView',
templateUrl: 'bravo_home.html',
controller: 'requestCtrl'
})
/*Other states here*/
/* Tabs */
.state('requestView.request', {
url: '/request',
view: {
'tabs': {
templateUrl: 'request-tab.html',
controller: 'requestTabCtrl'
}
}
})
.state('requestView.approved', {
url: '/approved',
view: {
'tabs': {
templateUrl: 'approved-tab.html'
}
}
});
})

plunker
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-10 col-lg-offset-1">
<ul id="tabs" class="nav nav-tabs" data-tabs="tabs">
<li ui-sref-active="active" ng-repeat="tab in tabs"><a ui-sref="{{tab.link}}" >{{tab.label}}</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="my-tab-content" class="tab-content" ui-view="tabs"></div>
</div>
</div>

You should set your states like this:
$stateProvider
/* Main Views */
.state('requestView', {
url: '/requestView',
templateUrl: 'bravo_home.html',
controller: 'requestCtrl'
})
/*Other states here*/
/* Tabs */
.state('requestView.request', {
url: '/request',
templateUrl: 'request-tab.html'
})
.state('requestView.approved', {
url: '/approved',
templateUrl: 'approved-tab.html'
});
Then, in your bravo_home.html: <div id="my-tab-content" class="tab-content" ui-view></div>
Note that I removed the ="tabs". You can add controllers to your nested tab states as needed, for example:
// add "controller: 'requestTabCtrl'" to state
.controller("requestTabCtrl", function($scope) {
console.log('Hello Request Tab');
})
// add "controller: 'approvedTabCtrl''" to state
.controller("approvedTabCtrl", function($scope) {
console.log('Hello Approved Tab');
});

Angular UI route states are not showing up

so i have been following a tutorial on how to use AngularJS ui route. I manage to get the views working just fine. However in trying to get the states to work and its just not working. I followed the tutorial exactly but for some reason my states to just show up. Hopefully someone can help me out.
Scirpt.js
var routerApp = angular.module('routerApp', ['ui.router']);
routerApp.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
// For any unmatched url, redirect to /home
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/home');
$stateProvider
.state('home', {
url: '/home',
templateUrl: 'views/home.html',
controller: 'homeCtrl'
})
.state('home.list', {
url: '/list',
templateUrl: 'views/partial-home-list.html',
controller: function($scope) {
$scope.dogs = ['Bernese', 'Husky', 'Goldendoodle'];
}
})
.state('home.paragraph', {
url: '/paragraph',
template: 'I could sure use a drink right now.'
})
.state('about', {
url: '/about',
templateUrl: 'views/about.html',
controller: 'aboutCtrl'
})
.state('/views/about', {
// Figure out later
});
});
index.html
<!-- Page Content -->
<div id="page-content-wrapper" ng-app="routerApp">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<h1>Content Page</h1>
<p>This is where the template of the vast amount of pages will be loaded. This will keep it a single page applcatino. The
main page will inject the html that needs to be loaded to the user. While the top nav bar will allow the user to
view the rest of the website, which will be separate pages
</p>
<p>Make sure to keep all page content within the <code>#page-content-wrapper</code>.</p>
Toggle Menu
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Angular Template, this is where content will be injected -->
<div ng-include="pages"></div>
<div ui-view></div>
</div>
</div>
home.html
<div class="jumbotron text-center">
<h1>The Homey Page</h1>
<p>This page demonstrates <span class="text-danger">nested</span> views.</p>
<a ui-sref=".list" class="btn btn-primary">List</a>
<a ui-sref=".paragraph" class="btn btn-danger">Paragraph</a>
</div>
partial-home-list.html
<div>
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="dog in dogs">{{ dog }}</li>
</ul>
</div>
Plunker

Since you are using nested states and views ("home.list" is nested inside "home"), you need to include <div ui-view></div> in your home.html as well.

Good luck! :)

Books Won't Display for Reader App Exercise

I'm trying to get books to display based on the assignment above but can't figure out what is wrong for the life of me.
I built the service and modified the controller and view pages to the point where I believe they should display the books in the view, but I'm just seeing a blank page.
I feel like I am probably not retrieving the data properly and accessing it in the view/html.
Any ideas? Link to jsFiddle.
Index.html
<body ng-app="ReaderApp">
<div class="header">
<div class="container">

I think I had the same trouble and my problem was in the router. Try adding array brackets ( [ ] ) and the '$routeProvider' string in your config method (app.js) like this:
app.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
// Normal router stuff goes here
}]);
Coming from Ember, the syntax is a little weird so I've been using this tutorial as reference when I get stuck.

How to open up an Ionic Modal upon click?

I am new to Ionic and AugularJS and I am having a problem opening up a modal box upon click on a checkbox/radio button on the third option for hashtag search in the settings page. I have included an ng-controller and ng-click to take action. I looked in the debugger and it displayed an error:
GET http://localhost:8100/hashtag-modal [HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found 1ms]
I know that 404 Not Found means it didn't find the templateUrl but every nav page I have is in the index.html and they work fine except hashtag-modal.html in the app.js file. Why isn't it working and how do I resolve this issue?
app.js
// Navigation pages
app.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
$stateProvider
.state('index', {
url: '/index',
templateUrl: 'index.html'
})
.state('about', {
url: '/about',
templateUrl: 'about.html'
})
.state('settings', {
url: '/settings',
templateUrl: 'settings.html'
})
.state('hashtag-modal', {
url: '/hashtag-modal',
templateUrl: 'hashtag-modal',
controller: 'hashtag-modalCtrl'
})
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/index"); // if no url found, go back to index
})
// Hashtag Search option
app.controller('hashtagController', ['$scope', function($scope)
{
$scope.hashtagValue = 'Search'; // default value
$scope.hashtag = function()
{
$scope.hashtagValue = 'blackandwhitephotography'; // if selected, it'll display this value
};
}]);
// hashtag search modal
app.controller('hashtag-modalCtrl', function($scope, $ionicModal) {
$ionicModal.fromTemplateUrl('hashtag-modal.html', {
scope: $scope,
animation: 'slide-in-up',
focusFirstInput: true
}).then(function(modal) {
$scope.modal = modal;
});
$scope.openModal = function() {
$scope.modal.show();
};
$scope.closeModal = function() {
$scope.modal.hide();
};
// Cleanup the modal when we're done with it!
$scope.$on('$destroy', function() {
$scope.modal.remove();
});
// Execute action on hide modal
$scope.$on('modal.hidden', function() {
// Execute action
});
// Execute action on remove modal
$scope.$on('modal.removed', function() {
// Execute action
});
});
index.html
<!-- SETTINGS -->

</ion-content>

</script>
Revised app.js
I added an $ionicModal to the hashtagController but it is said Error: $ionicModal is undefined. Where else is it undefined?
// Hashtag Search option
app.controller('hashtagController', ['$scope', function($scope, $ionicModal)
{
$scope.hashtagValue = 'Search'; // default value
$scope.hashtag = function()
{
$scope.hashtagValue = 'blackandwhitephotography'; // if selected, it'll display this value
$ionicModal.fromTemplateUrl('hashtag-modal.html', {
scope: $scope,
animation: 'slide-in-up',
focusFirstInput: true
}).then(function(modal) {
$scope.modal = modal;
});
$scope.openModal = function() {
$scope.modal.show();
};
$scope.closeModal = function() {
$scope.modal.hide();
};
// Cleanup the modal when we're done with it!
$scope.$on('$destroy', function() {
$scope.modal.remove();
});
// Execute action on hide modal
$scope.$on('modal.hidden', function() {
// Execute action
});
// Execute action on remove modal
$scope.$on('modal.removed', function() {
// Execute action
});
}
}]);
Revised label
<label class="item item-radio" id="hashtagRadio" ng-controller="hashtagController" ng-click="hashtag();openModal();">
<input type="radio" name="settings-group" value="search">
<div class="item-content">
<span class="ion-pound"></span> <span id="hashtagInput">{{hashtagValue}}</span>
</div>
<i class="radio-icon ion-checkmark"></i>
</label>

ionic modal has nothing to do with routes.
You just load a static html template from server, and that same html is shown in ionic modal with all the bindings.
Instead of declaring a seperate controller, move it inside the same controller :
app.controller('hashtagController', ['$scope', function($scope, $ionicModal) {
$scope.hashtag = function() {
$scope.hashtagValue = 'blackandwhitephotography'; // if selected, it'll display this value
$ionicModal.fromTemplateUrl('hashtag-modal.html', {
scope: $scope,
animation: 'slide-in-up',
focusFirstInput: true
}).then(function(modal) {
$scope.modal = modal;
$scope.modal.show();
});
};
$scope.openModal = function() {
$scope.modal.show();
};
$scope.closeModal = function() {
$scope.modal.hide();
};
$scope.$on('$destroy', function() {
$scope.modal.remove();
});
$scope.$on('modal.hidden', function() {
// Execute action
});
$scope.$on('modal.removed', function() {
// Execute action
});
}
Then in your HTML :
<label class="item item-radio" id="hashtagRadio" ng-controller="hashtagController" ng-click="hashtag();openModal();">
<input type="radio" name="settings-group" value="search">
<div class="item-content">
<span class="ion-pound"></span> <span id="hashtagInput">{{hashtagValue}}</span>
</div>
<i class="radio-icon ion-checkmark"></i>
</label>

How to dynamically update view in AngularJS

I have 2 div elements as following and I want to show only one of them based on the doStuff() function being called in the controller when an anchor element is clicked.
<div ng-controller='myController'>
<div ng-show="{{states['currentState'] == 'A'}}">
//displaying this div if the currentState is A
<a ng-click="doStuff('B')">Do stuff and show B</a>
</div>
<div ng-show="{{states['currentState'] == 'B'}}">
//displaying this div if the currentState is B
</div>
</div>
Following is the controller code:
myApp.controller('myController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
var states = ['A', 'B'];
$scope.states = states;
$scope.states['currentState'] = $scope.states['currentState'] || 'A';
$scope.doStuff = function(stateToShow) {
//doing stuff
$scope.states['currentState'] = stateToShow;
};
}]);
The code above doesn't work as the state remains 'A' even after clicking the Do stuff and show B anchor element.
Could somebody help me understand why is it not working?
Edit
app.js
//...
.state('home', {
url: '/',
views: {
'': { templateUrl: 'partials/index.html' },
'myView#home': {
templateUrl: 'partials/myView.html',
controller: 'VehicleController'
}
//other named ui views
}
})
//...
index.html
<div class="main">
<div class="container">
<div class="row margin-bottom-40">
<div class="col-md-12 col-sm-12">
<div class="content-page">
<div class="row">
<div ui-view="myView"></div>
<!-- other named ui-views -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
myView.html
<div ng-controller='myController'>
<div ng-show="states['currentState'] == 'A'">
//displaying this div if the currentState is A
<a ng-click="doStuff('B')">Do stuff and show B</a>
</div>
<div ng-show="states['currentState'] == 'B'">
//displaying this div if the currentState is B
</div>
</div>

It is updating the scope. But possibly the issue is with the ng-show you are setting a string by using "{{notation}}" which becomes truthy always (even if it is "true" or "false"), just use the expression directly.
Change
<div ng-show="{{states['currentState'] == 'A'}}">
to
<div ng-show="states.currentState === 'A'">
Demo
From Doc:-
ngShow expression - If the expression is truthy then the element is shown or hidden respectively.

You are very close. The reason it is not working is the attribute "ng-show" does not need the "{{" "}}" notation to work.
I just built your code but took those off, and it is working as you described you wanted it to.
<div ng-show="states['currentState'] == 'A'">
//displaying this div if the currentState is A
<a ng-click="doStuff('B')">Do stuff and show B</a>
</div>
<div ng-show="states['currentState'] == 'B'">
//displaying this div if the currentState is B
</div>
