Angular js - call a route without view

angularjs, controllers, javascript, route-provider

Solution

You could do :

.when('/auth/logout', {
    controller: function(){
         //do staff
    }
})

btw may be there is something wrong in your code because template works and you could exploit it in the same way

Problem

I'm trying calling the `/auth/logout` url to get redirected after session is deleted: ``` app.config(['$routeProvider',function($routeProvider) { $routeProvider .when('/auth/logout',{ controller:'AuthLogout' //templateUrl: not needed }) }) .controller('AuthLogout', ['$window','$location', function ($window,$location) { $window.localStorage.removeItem('user_username'); $window.localStorage.removeItem('user_id'); $window.localStorage.removeItem('user_session_token'); $location.path('/'); }]); ``` I actually don't need a view for AuthLogout controller but if I do not specify the `templateUrl` in routeProvider I can't get this to work, while if I specify a `templateUrl` it works. How can I call the url/controller without to having to load a view??
