angularjs controller executes 2 times
angularjs, javascript
Solution
I figured out the problem. I had two layouts depending on whether the user was authorized using `ng-show="user.authorized"` and `ng-show="!user.authorized"`. Each had a `<div ng-view>`. Every `ng-view` gets processed whether `ng-show` is true or false.
I didn't realize everything in `ng-show` gets processed whether true or not.
Fix: used `ng-switch` instead of `ng-show`. This keeps the view from being processed until the condition is met.
Problem
I have a problem where a controller executes twice, yet I do not have duplicates that i can see (even running a case sensiTIve search through my files only shows one in route configuration and my actual controller). Route config: ``` $routeProvider.when('/cb159e1ec61d0613f10ab397d8bd6782',{ templateUrl: view+'passwordreset.html', controller:'passwordreset' }); ``` Controller: ``` App.controller('passwordreset',['$scope','$http', function($scope,$http){ $scope.token='asdf' console.log($scope.token); // <-- logs 2x to console }]); ``` `passwordreset.html`: ``` <div class="row"> <div class="small-12 columns"> <fieldset class="content-box"> password reset {{token}} </fieldset> </div> </div> ``` Also, I've created a new route and tried, still logs twice. I've cleared my cache as well. Some controllers execute once, some twice (I put an alert in a few controllers, some show once, some twice) another example: ``` //route config $routeProvider.when('/', { templateUrl: view+'home', controller:'Home' }); //template <div ng-controller="testing">a</div> //controller Lmu.controller('Home',function($scope){ $scope.home='home'; alert($scope.home); <-- alerts 2x (two scopes for Home controller are created) }); ```
