Standard Ionic Router

router.js

app.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
    $stateProvider
    .state('login', {
        url: '/login',
        templateUrl: 'html/login.html',
        controller: 'Login'
    })
    .state('tab', {
        url: "/tab",
        abstract: true,
        templateUrl: "html/tabs.html"
    })
    .state('tab.dashboard', {
        url: '/dashboard',
        views: {
            'tab-dashboard': {
                templateUrl: 'html/tab-dashboard.html',
                controller: 'Dashboard'
            }
        }
    })
    .state('tab.search', {
        url: '/search',
        views: {
            'tab-search': {
                templateUrl: 'html/tab-search.html',
                controller:  'Search'
            }
        }
    });

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

});
