AngularJs: Reload page

Question

PORTAL_NAME

I want to reload the page. How can I do this?

Answer 1

On Angular 1.5 - after trying some of the above solutions wanting to reload only the data with no full page refresh, I had problems with loading the data properly. I noticed though, that when I go to another route and then I return back to the current, everything works fine, but when I want to only reload the current route using $route.reload(), then some of the code is not executed properly. Then I tried to redirect to the current route in the following way:

$scope.someFuncName = function () {
    //go to another route
    $location.path('/another-route');
};

and in the module config, add another when:

.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
     $routeProvider.when('/first-page', {
         templateUrl: '/first-template',
         controller: 'SomeCtrl'
     }).when('/another-route', {//this is the new "when"
         redirectTo: '/first-page'
     });
}])

and it works just fine for me. It does not refresh the whole page, but only causes the current controller and template to reload. I know it's a bit hacky, but that was the only solution I found.
