What approach do you recommend to navigate pages from nav menu using angularjs? Pages will have footer and header html using ng-include to have common templates. I found ng-view to navigate between pages.

In this example, there's a module named navList and a controller and a method navClass inside it. Using a special service in angular.js, $location which parses the URL in the browser and makes the URL available in the application. Finally, just match the URL hash with the parameter passed.
var navList = angular.module('navList', []);
navList.controller('navCtrl', ['$scope', '$location', function ($scope, $location) {
$scope.navClass = function (page) {
var currentRoute = $location.path().substring(1) || 'home';
return page === currentRoute ? 'active' : '';
};
}]);<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
<div class="well sidebar-nav" ng-app="navList">
<ul class="nav nav-list" ng-controller="navCtrl">
<li ng-class="navClass('home')"><a href='#/home'>Home</a></li>
<li ng-class="navClass('about')"><a href='#/about'>About Us</a></li>
<li ng-class="navClass('contact')"><a href='#/contact'>Contact Us</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
