How to reload an external controller in angularjs ?

I guess you want to reload the current page. You can use the reload method of either the $route or the $window service. Inject the service in your controller and then create a method reloadPage on your $scope :

$scope.reloadPage = function() {
   $route.reload();
}

Or with $window :

$scope.reloadPage = function() {
   $window.location.reload();
}

You can then call those methods from your template with, for instance, this directive :

ng-click="reloadPage()"
