How to reload or re-render the entire page using AngularJS
angularjs, javascript, node.js, reload, rerender
Solution
For the record, to force angular to re-render the current page, you can use:
$route.reload();
According to AngularJS documentation:
Causes $route service to reload the current route even if $location hasn't changed.
As a result of that, ngView creates new scope, reinstantiates the controller.
Problem
After rendering the entire page based on several user contexts and having made several `$http` requests, I want the user to be able to switch contexts and re-render everything again (resending all `$http` requests, etc). If I just redirect the user somewhere else, things work properly: ``` $scope.on_impersonate_success = function(response) { //$window.location.reload(); // This cancels any current request $location.path('/'); // This works as expected, if path != current_path }; $scope.impersonate = function(username) { return auth.impersonate(username) .then($scope.on_impersonate_success, $scope.on_auth_failed); }; ``` If I use `$window.location.reload()`, then some of the `$http` requests on `auth.impersonate(username)` that are waiting for a response get cancelled, so I can't use that. Also, the hack `$location.path($location.path())` doesn't work either (nothing happens). Is there another way to re-render the page without manually issuing all requests again?
