Clear $scope on logout in Angular js

Question

In my controller I am storing data as $scope.$parent.dossierSummaries = data; but after log out and login the application $scope.$parent.dossierSummaries<

Answer 1

Another approach to manually tracking and cleaning things up would be to broadcast a 'logout' event on the rootScope (or other custom event). Then listen for the event either in your controller or in your service to clean up the data.

Broadcast:

$rootScope.broadcast('logout');

Watching for an event (in a service for example):

$rootScope.on('logout',function(){
  dossiers = [];
});
