How do I get the back button to go back multiple pages in AngularJS

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);

Look into angular's $location

Just tell it how far to go back:

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

It's really as simple as that.
