Infelizmente não funcionou.
No meu projeto estou usando o Angular UI. peguei o código no creator online e coloquei o código como mencionou e não funcionou.
Então, criei um novo projeto com os códigos do github - ionic start myapp sidemenu - e coloquei o código que indicou e também não funcionou.
Segue os códigos do controllers.js e menu.html do projeto recém criado e depois inserir a função que indicou:
controllers.js
angular.module('starter.controllers', [])
.controller('AppCtrl', function($scope, $ionicModal, $timeout) {
// With the new view caching in Ionic, Controllers are only called
// when they are recreated or on app start, instead of every page change.
// To listen for when this page is active (for example, to refresh data),
// listen for the $ionicView.enter event:
//$scope.$on('$ionicView.enter', function(e) {
//});
// Form data for the login modal
$scope.loginData = {};
// Create the login modal that we will use later
$ionicModal.fromTemplateUrl('templates/login.html', {
scope: $scope
}).then(function(modal) {
$scope.modal = modal;
});
// Triggered in the login modal to close it
$scope.closeLogin = function() {
$scope.modal.hide();
};
// Open the login modal
$scope.login = function() {
$scope.modal.show();
};
// Perform the login action when the user submits the login form
$scope.doLogin = function() {
console.log('Doing login', $scope.loginData);
// Simulate a login delay. Remove this and replace with your login
// code if using a login system
$timeout(function() {
$scope.closeLogin();
}, 1000);
};
})
.controller('PlaylistsCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.playlists = [
{ title: 'Reggae', id: 1 },
{ title: 'Chill', id: 2 },
{ title: 'Dubstep', id: 3 },
{ title: 'Indie', id: 4 },
{ title: 'Rap', id: 5 },
{ title: 'Cowbell', id: 6 }
];
})
.controller('PlaylistCtrl', function($scope, $stateParams) {
});
$scope.fechar = function() {
ionic.Platform.exitApp();
}
