我如何获得后退按钮以在AngularJS中返回多个页面

Question

I am currently working on an application and I need the back button to go back multiple pages. I am familiar with the history.back function as shown below.

//go back to the last view
$rootScope.goBack = function(){
    history.back();
  }

However, this only goes back one page. Is there anyway for the history to go back further than one step? If so, how can I implement this?

Thank you!

EDIT: I figured I would also share that you can you use the back() feature not only in the html but also in your controller by using $rootScope.back(-2);

Answer 1

Just tell it how far to go back:

$rootScope.goBack = function(){
    history.go(-3);
}

It's really as simple as that.
