I use $interval and need to detect when the controller is destroyed. Until now, I have used the $destroy event and it worked perfectly. For example with this basic code, it prints "destroy" in the console when I go to another page (with a simple <a href="#/myNewUrl"> in myView.html).
angular.module('myModule').controller('myController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
$scope.$on('$destroy', function() {
console.log('destroy');
});
}]);
But since I updated Ionic to the new version (v1.0.0-beta.14), that uses the new version to Angular too (v1.3.6), the $destroy event isn't detect when I go to another page.
Does anybody get the same problem? How can I be resolve it?
Thank you for your answer!
EDIT:
I have finally fixed the problem!!! Now, with the new Ionic version, the view is cached automatically. Adding cache-view="false" in the template disable it.
But I found a best way than the destroy event. Ionic added new events (on $ionicView) and now you can detect when you leave the page (and the page stays cached) with: $ionicView.leave.
To get more information: http://ionicframework.com/docs/nightly/api/directive/ionView/
Is your template cached? If you don't have cache: false in your state routes, then the controller is not destroyed.
http://forum.ionicframework.com/t/how-to-destroy-controllers-in-ion-tab-directive/16658
It's a hello from Ionic dev team. They like to leak memory, you see.
Just set
$ionicConfigProvider.views.maxCache(0);
That should do it

How to detect unsaved page changes check while moving another page or tab in angularjs 1.5 application.
One of approach is using directives however how to pass related form named to the directive instead of using hard coded solution?
I tried using the service approach as mentioned below but my nested view controller is not able to access the form name. Iam getting $scope.myForm as undefined.
You can handle page change with the event $locationChangeStart for ng-route or $stateChangeStart for ui-router (perform the logic you want inside):
$scope.$on('$locationChangeStart', function(event) {
if ($scope.myForm.$invalid) {
event.preventDefault();
}
});
To tab change etc, you can disable your tab with something like or watever approach you prefer
ng-disabled="!myForm.$valid"
EDIT
You may look at this post to use a service/factory approach :

The module below seem to work for me
https://github.com/facultymatt/angular-unsavedChanges
I have created a sidemenu based app, in that after login I am displaying a number of tasks. If I click on the task it will redirect to the task details page, in that page I can update the tasks.
So after updating a task I need to go back to the previous task list page. I am using $ionicHistory.goBack(); to go back.
My problem is after come back, I need to refresh the task list i.e. updated task should not be there in the task list. How can I refresh/reload the task list?
If you bind your task to a tasks array, which will be used in the task list page, it should be automatically updated.
But the question is about not displaying, newly added tasks (still my previous suggestion should work) if not, performance reasons ionic views are cached, So when you come back to the previous view it doesn't go through the normal loading cycle. But you 2 options
1 - disable the caching by using <ion-view cache-view="false" view-title="My Title!"> in your ion-view, but this is not a very elegant solution. read more
2 - use ionRefresher (my preferred). read more here
https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router/issues/582
according to #hpawe01 "If you are using the current ionicframework (ionic: v1.0.0-beta.14, angularjs: v1.3.6, angular-ui-router: v0.2.13), the problem with the not-reloading-controller could be caused by the new caching-system of ionic:
Note that because we are caching these views, we aren’t destroying scopes. Instead, scopes are being disconnected from the watch cycle. Because scopes are not being destroyed and recreated,controllers are not loading again on a subsequent viewing.
There are several ways to disable caching. To disable it only for a single state, just add cache: false to the state definition.
This fixed the problem for me (after hours of reading, trying, frustration).
For all others not using ionicframework and still facing this problem: good luck!"
Hope this helps.
You can also listen to ionic events such as $ionicView.enter on $scope and trigger the code that refreshes the list if you haven't bound your list as #sameera207 suggested.
EG:
// List.controller.js
angular.module('app')
.controller('ListController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
// See http://ionicframework.com/docs/api/directive/ionView/ for full events list
$scope.$on('$ionicView.enter', function() {
_someCodeThatFetchesTasks()
.then(function(tasks) {
$scope.tasks = tasks;
});
});
});
Bear in mind that it's not the most proper way (if proper at all) and if you do this you certainly have a design flaw. Instead you should share the same data array via a factory or a service for example.
For your task you can also use ion-nav-view.
It is well documented. And if you are using now Ionic 2 beta you can use some of the view lifecyle hooks like onPageWillLeave() or onPageWillEnter(). I just faced the same problem and defined a refresh() function, but the user had to click on a button to actually update the view. But then I found:
https://webcake.co/page-lifecycle-hooks-in-ionic-2/
You just have to import the Page and NavController module and also define it in the constructor. The you can use for example onPageWillEnter(), which will always invoke when you go again to a view:
onPageWillEnter() {
// Do whatever you want here the following code is just to show you an example. I needed it to refresh the sqlite database
this.storage.query("SELECT * FROM archivedInserates").then((data) = > {
this.archivedInserates =[];
if (data.res.rows.length > 0) {
for (var i = 0; i < data.res.rows.length; i++) {
this.archivedInserates.push({userName:data.res.rows.item(i).userName, email:
data.res.rows.item(i).email});
}
}
},(error) =>{
console.log("ERROR -> " + JSON.stringify(error.err));
});
}
With ionic beta 8 the lifecylcle events changed their names. Check out the official ionic blog for the full list of the lifecycle events.
if you are building data driven app then make sure use $ionicConfigProvider.views.maxCache(0);in your app.config so that each review can refresh for more details read this http://ionicframework.com/docs/api/provider/$ionicConfigProvider/
I am new to mobile application development with Ionic. On login and logout I need to reload the page, in order to refresh the data, however, $state.go('mainPage') takes the user back to the view without reloading - the controller behind it is never invoked.
Is there a way to clear history and reload the state in Ionic?
Welcome to the framework! Actually the routing in Ionic is powered by ui-router. You should probably check out this previous SO question to find a couple of different ways to accomplish this.
If you just want to reload the state you can use:
$state.go($state.current, {}, {reload: true});
If you actually want to reload the page (as in, you want to re-bootstrap everything) then you can use:
$window.location.reload(true)
Good luck!
I found that JimTheDev's answer only worked when the state definition had cache:false set. With the view cached, you can do $ionicHistory.clearCache() and then $state.go('app.fooDestinationView') if you're navigating from one state to the one that is cached but needs refreshing.
See my answer here as it requires a simple change to Ionic and I created a pull request: https://stackoverflow.com/a/30224972/756177
The correct answer:
$window.location.reload(true);
I have found a solution which helped me to get it done. Setting cache-view="false" on ion-view tag resolved my problem.
<ion-view cache-view="false" view-title="My Title!">
....
</ion-view>
Reload the page isn't the best approach.
you can handle state change events for reload data without reload the view itself.
read about ionicView life-cycle here:
http://blog.ionic.io/navigating-the-changes/
and handle the event beforeEnter for data reload.
$scope.$on('$ionicView.beforeEnter', function(){
// Any thing you can think of
});
In my case I need to clear just the view and restart the controller. I could get my intention with this snippet:
$ionicHistory.clearCache([$state.current.name]).then(function() {
$state.reload();
});
The cache still working and seems that just the view is cleared.
ionic --version says 1.7.5.
None of the solutions mentioned above worked for a hostname that is different from localhost!
I had to add notify: false to the list of options that I pass to $state.go, to avoid calling Angular change listeners, before $window.location.reload call gets called. Final code looks like:
$state.go('home', {}, {reload: true, notify: false});
>>> EDIT - $timeout might be necessary depending on your browser >>>
$timeout(function () {
$window.location.reload(true);
}, 100);
<<< END OF EDIT <<<
More about this on ui-router reference.
I was trying to do refresh page using angularjs when i saw websites i got confused but no code was working for the code then i got solution for reloading page using
$state.go('path',null,{reload:true});
use this in a function this will work.
I needed to reload the state to make scrollbars work. They did not work when coming through another state - 'registration'. If the app was force closed after registration and opened again, i.e. it went directly to 'home' state, the scrollbars worked. None of the above solutions worked.
When after registration, I replaced:
$state.go("home");
with
window.location = "index.html";
The app reloaded, and the scrollbars worked.
The controller is called only once, and you SHOULD preserve this logic model, what I usually do is:
I create a method $scope.reload(params)
At the beginning of this method I call $ionicLoading.show({template:..}) to show my custom spinner
When may reload process is finished, I can call $ionicLoading.hide() as a callback
Finally, Inside the button REFRESH, I add ng-click = "reload(params)"
The only downside of this solution is that you lose the ionic navigation history system
Hope this helps!
If you want to reload after view change you need to
$state.reload('state',{reload:true});
If you want to make that view the new "root", you can tell ionic that the next view it's gonna be the root
$ionicHistory.nextViewOptions({ historyRoot: true });
$state.go('app.xxx');
return;
If you want to make your controllers reload after each view change
app.config(function ($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider, $ionicConfigProvider) {
$ionicConfigProvider.views.maxCache(0);
.state(url: '/url', controller: Ctl, templateUrl: 'template.html', cache: false)
cache: false ==> solved my problem !
As pointed out by #ezain reload controllers only when its necessary. Another cleaner way of updating data when changing states rather than reloading the controller is using broadcast events and listening to such events in controllers that need to update data on views.
Example: in your login/logout functions you can do something like so:
$scope.login = function(){
//After login logic then send a broadcast
$rootScope.$broadcast("user-logged-in");
$state.go("mainPage");
};
$scope.logout = function(){
//After logout logic then send a broadcast
$rootScope.$broadcast("user-logged-out");
$state.go("mainPage");
};
Now in your mainPage controller trigger the changes in the view by using the $on function to listen to broadcast within the mainPage Controller like so:
$scope.$on("user-logged-in", function(){
//update mainPage view data here eg. $scope.username = 'John';
});
$scope.$on("user-logged-out", function(){
//update mainPage view data here eg. $scope.username = '';
});
I tried many methods, but found this method is absolutely correct:
$window.location.reload();
Hope this help others stuck for days like me with version: angular 1.5.5, ionic 1.2.4, angular-ui-router 1.0.0
Using angular 1.2, I included the angular-mobile.js file and add the ngMobile module to my module dependencies list.
Directives 'ng-swipe-left' and 'ng-swipe-right' work well but the 'ng-click' doesn't seem faster. It seems that there's still this 300ms delay on ipad...
Is something more required to use this feature?
By the way, what's the difference between the module ngTouch and ngMobile? Swipe directive seems to works including one either.
Thanks!
I have the same issue, and I'm not using jQuery. I have resorted to fastclick, and the app feels much more responsive. Yes, ngTouch is the new version of ngMobile, but in its current state it can only be used for swiping, it seems.
It seems that the issue is known and happen when jQuery is loaded:
https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/2548
(according 'AngularJS 1.2 And Beyond' talk, ngTouch will be the new name of NgMobile)
Look at this answer, the solution works also for angular ng-click directive.
Basically you just need to do this in stop method of jquery-ui-draggable:
$('.selector').draggable({
stop: function(event, ui) {
// event.toElement is the element that was responsible
// for triggering this event. The handle, in case of a draggable.
$( event.toElement ).one('click', function(e){ e.stopImmediatePropagation(); } );
}
});
I'm using the latest angular and ngtouch 1.2.10 and am also using jQuery. I'm still seeing the same issue you are. I added faskclick and it fixed it. Looks like there is at least one issue open on github for this problem so presumably this will be fixed at some point.
// This code should be added outside of and angularjs code.
window.addEventListener('load', function () {
FastClick.attach(document.body);
}, false);
I am having an odd, safari-only scrolling behavior using AngularJS.
Whenever the user flips between pages, the pages are being changed as if they are AJAX. I understand they are in AngualrJS, but the resulting behavior is that the browser does not scroll to top when the user switches pages.
I've tried to force the browser to scroll to top whenever a new controller is being used, but it does not seem to do anything.
I'm running the following JS at the top of every controller:
document.body.scrollTop = document.documentElement.scrollTop = 0;
This is also a Safari-only bug, every other browser will scroll to top when the page changes. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or think of a better way to resolve it?
$window.scrollTo(0,0) will scroll to the top of the page.
I just found a nice plugin (pure angularJS) that supports animations also:
https://github.com/durated/angular-scroll
you can use this:
.run(["$rootScope", "$window", '$location', function($rootScope, $window, $location) {
$rootScope.$on('$routeChangeStart', function(evt, absNewUrl, absOldUrl){
$window.scrollTo(0,0); //scroll to top of page after each route change
}}])
or for tab switches you can use the $window.scrollTo(0,0); in your controller
Have you tried using $anchorScroll()? it's documented here.
I got the same problem while using AngularJS in a Cordova App. In a normal Browser or on Android i have no trouble but on ios i get the same behavior as discribed by Neil.
The AngularJS documentation on $anchorScroll is not that great so i thought to post this link which helped me way more:
http://www.benlesh.com/2013/02/angular-js-scrolling-to-element-by-id.html
You can use $anchorScroll
$scope.gotoTop = function (){
// set the location.hash to the id of
// the element you wish to scroll to.
$location.hash('top');
// call $anchorScroll()
$anchorScroll();
};
Like #nonstopbutton said, adding autoscroll="true" to my ngView element worked for me too. I mention this here because it was a comment to an answer and it was not easy to see his reply.
More information here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/24549173/1578861
I'd a similar issue with Chrome. However, I don't know if any specific external library is causing this issue or otherwise.
However I wrote this piece of code at app level and it works.
$rootScope.$on('$viewContentLoaded', function(){
$window.scrollTo(0, 0);
});
Call $window.scrollTo(0,0); after locationChangeSuccess event:
$rootScope.$on("$locationChangeSuccess",
function(event, current, previous, rejection) {
$window.scrollTo(0,0);
});
In the controller you can actually drop the $ from window and simply putwindow.scrollTo(0,0); without having to inject $window into the controller. It worked great for me.
