ion-tab directive should support scope variable binding

[gregaton]

The ion-tab directive currently does not support the binding of scope variables to it's attributes.

For instance to set the title from a scope variable tabTitle one can do

<ion-tab title="{{tabTitle}}" ...

but not

<ion-tab title="tabTitle" ...

This means the tab title will always be set to a fixed value and any later changes of tabTitle will not update the title attribute of the tab.

As far as I can tell this is true for all attributes of the ion-tab directive.

Supported as of nightly and 0.9.26+

It looks like this still doesn't work.
Let me reference the plunker from a different issue.

The tab title reads "tab.title" but it should be "Flask" or "Clipboard". It would work fine with the {{}} syntax.

Titles are interpolated, not bound. This will be a lot clearer once we have docs up (and make sure all our titles follow the same conventions!)

Try this: <ion-tab title="{{tab.title}}"></ion-tab>

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "interpolated, not bound".

What I would have liked to see is a way to dynamically change the title, icon etc for a tab.
My tabs are dynamically generated from a scope variable and I had hoped that if I change the variable it would update the tab.
Just like it works with all the angular core directives.

If that's not possible / too costly I'm going to try and figure out a workaround.

This will work: <ion-tab title="{{tab.title}}"></ion-tab>

Thank you Andy, I understand that.

Maybe I'm having problems expressing my self properly.
I've updated the plunker.

There is now a text field in each tab. Every time a tab is selected the value of tab.title is updated to the current time and displayed in the text field.

What I would have liked is that the title of the tab is changed as well.

I have this exact use case (app data changes, would like the tab title to update dynamically). Has there been any progress or updates on this issue?
