With the code:
<ion-navbar *navbar>
</ion-navbar>
the back button is enabled. But I need to customize it (the icon or the label). Is it possible? Can't find anything in the docs/api.

you can set back button text in your app.html as mentioned in the ionic link http://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/api/config/Config
@App({
template: `<ion-nav [root]="root"></ion-nav>`
config: {
backButtonText: 'Go Back',
iconMode: 'ios',
modalEnter: 'modal-slide-in',
modalLeave: 'modal-slide-out',
tabbarPlacement: 'bottom',
pageTransition: 'ios',
}
})
UPDATE in ionic 2 beta 8
import {ionicBootstrap} from 'ionic-angular';
ionicBootstrap(AppRoot, customProviders, {
backButtonText: 'Go Back',
iconMode: 'ios',
modalEnter: 'modal-slide-in',
modalLeave: 'modal-slide-out',
tabbarPlacement: 'bottom',
pageTransition: 'ios',
});
UPDATE in ionic 2 rc.0 and up, as well as ionic 3
In ionic 2 rc.0 and up, we need to include the configs in app.module.ts under imports array.
@NgModule({
declarations: [
MyApp,
Home
],
imports: [
IonicModule.forRoot(MyApp, {
tabsPlacement: 'top',
backButtonText: 'Back'
})],
bootstrap: [IonicApp],
entryComponents: [
MyApp,
Home ],
providers: [MyService]
})
The current version of IONIC2 allows you to change the text of the back-button globally.
You can also change the icon like it appears in ios and hide the "Back"
label.
imports: [
IonicModule.forRoot(MyApp,{
backButtonText: '',
backButtonIcon: 'ios-arrow-back',
iconMode: 'md'
})
]
Just add this one to your app.module.ts
.
I've just spent a while working out how to do this via the ViewController in Ionic 2.
Inside the typescript file for your page you must import the ViewController
import { ViewController } from 'ionic-angular';
Then in your constructor function include the ViewController.
constructor(public viewCtrl: ViewController) {}
Then finally you can call the function to change the text.
ionViewDidLoad() {
this.viewCtrl.setBackButtonText('Cancel');
}
I basically cobbled this together from how I'd been doing Alerts and Nav Controller stuff so I may be wrong. It's working for me though and has the benefit of allowing me to change the text on a per page basis.
If you are using ionic 4 you can set back button text like this
<ion-back-button [text]="'<your text>'"></ion-back-button>
I didn't find any documentation for this either. But I have found the file that sets the text and the class of the button, so you can edit it there (it will change the button text/class in every page).
Change the attribute backButtonText
in node_modules/ionic-framework/config/modes.js
Here official documentation https://ionicframework.com/docs/v3/api/config/Config/
there is a good example of usage in the ionic 3 starter app
In costructor of app.component.ts is used "set" method used of Config object from ionic-angular:
this.config.set('ios', 'backButtonText', values.BACK_BUTTON_TEXT);
Is usefull when you want to use internationalization or if you want change configs dynamically:
this.translate.get(['BACK_BUTTON_TEXT']).subscribe(values => {
this.config.set('ios', 'backButtonText', values.BACK_BUTTON_TEXT);
