AngularJS/Ionic - ion-nav-view vs ion-view
ionic-framework
Solution
`ion-nav-view` is the place where your `ion-view`s get injected to. You can see `ion-nav-view` as the frame where your paint, the `ion-view`, is gonna be painted on by the `$stateProvider`.
Problem
Please can somebody clarify when I would use an `ion-nav-view` opposed to an `ion-view`? I am learning AngularJS/Ionic (I have a basic understanding of AngularJS; and would like to use Ionic to enhance it). I understand the `ion-nav-view` implements the AngularUI Router service(?) which is a must in order to have nested views within views. But the documentation does not make clear where I should be using one or the other? All the documentation states for `ion-view` is: A container for content, used to tell a parent ionNavBar about the current view. But I have seen an `ion-view` used outside navbar interface. So what gives?
