How to reload state using angular-ui-router?

Question

How to reload a controller and entire side using angular-ui-router?

$state.reload() or $state.go('myState')

does not work. Only method which works is:

$state.go('anotherState');
$state.go('myState');

going to another state and back. Then, view is reloaded corretly. How to do it without this hack?

Regards

It is SPA application so it should not. It should only reload controller like I said — SheppardPL

When you say 'does not work', how do you know it does not reload? If you put an $onInit() in the state's controller and console logged in there, does it give you the message? If so, it's 'working'. — rrd

@rrd I have preloader which runs when page is loading first time, I see what is on scope and if controller is reloaded — SheppardPL

Can you post your states so we can see them, might be an error in them in $state.reload() isn't working. — rrd

You can use this without page refresh. This will reload the view:

$state.transitionTo($state.current, $stateParams, {
    reload: true,
    inherit: false,
    notify: true
});

or else try this

$state.go($state.current.name,{},{reload: $state.current.name});

Then you need to post your HTML and route files with the ui router version you are using

I found this to be the shortest working way to refresh with ui-router:

$state.go($state.current, {}, {reload: true}); //second param is for $stateParams if you have any.

New versions also support this:

$state.reload();

Which is an alias for:

$state.transitionTo($state.current, $stateParams, { 
  reload: true, inherit: false, notify: true
});       // this is also used to reload the controller and view without page reload.
