Simple example of how to use ngMessages directive with Ionic framework v1.0.0-beta.14 which uses Angular 1.3.6

These were the steps I took to create this example

1. ionic start ionicNgMessagesExample sidemenu

2. cd ionicNgMessagesExample

3. bower install angular-messages#1.3.6 --save

4. Add <script src="lib/angular-messages/angular-messages.min.js"></script> to www/index.html

5. Inject ngMessages into www/js/app.js angular.module('starter', ['ionic', 'starter.controllers','ngMessages'])

6. Create www/templates/error-messages.html with default messages that can be included from across the app. You can override any one of these at the field level if you needed to.

7. Modify www/templates/login.html to include ng-messages and name attributes for the HTML

   and tags.

8. Add ng-disabled="loginForm.$invalid" to the Log in button
