I’ve got an app I’m developing that follows this user flow: User is presented with a list of “things” and can use a button to create a new “thing”. On saving their new “thing”, the user should be taken back to the list of “things”, which should refresh and show their new “thing” in the list. All t…

It looks like the issue is ui-router not reloading the controller when we use $state.go. Try this to see if it fixes it: $state.transitionTo('app.list, null, {reload: true, notify:true});

it could also be the default ionic caching. poor design decision IMO unless most people just don’t make data-driven apps? to disable, set this in an angular.module.config $ionicConfigProvider.views.maxCache(0);

Just some information on cached views: Cached Views: Previously, as a user navigated an app, each exiting view’s element and scope would be destroyed. If the same view was accessed again then the app would have to recreate the element. Views can now be cached to improve performance. Now, when a vi…

No change with the addition of notify unfortunately.

That cracked it - I’ve disabled caching for that view. I may look into running a specific piece of code when entering the view, if I can figure out a way of telling the app where I came from but for now, the remove cache fix has worked perfectly. Thanks!

Brilliant ! I had exactly this same issue, and setting cache-view=“false” on my ‘parent view’ fixed it. So this is indeed the recipe: redirect back to the parent state with “reload = true” in the $state.go() call to make sure the Resolve function on the (abstract) parent state gets re-executed …

Does it work for nested state? parent state is an abstract state say app. child is app.home with cache:false … say app.home Now when I do $state.go(‘app.home’, null, {reload:true}) from some other child app.profile, it doesn’t execute the code inside parent app controller. How do I make this work…

Yeah I’m not surprised that it doesn’t execute the parent controller, probably that’s by design. Can’t you define a Route Resolve on the parent state? So you put the code to be executed in the route resolve instead of in the parent controller. No sure if that will work but it might.

$state.reload() does not reload the page. To refresh the template view page use: $window.location.reload();
