Was wondering what is the best way to refresh controller scope on route change?
Any help would be appreciated!

Do you mean when the URL changes but the page and controller stays the same?GregL– GregL2014-10-16 01:58:29 +00:00Commented Oct 16, 2014 at 1:58

Yep. lets say when I'm navigating from /old_path to /new_path, I want to reset data on OldPathController.alexs333– alexs3332014-10-16 01:59:45 +00:00Commented Oct 16, 2014 at 1:59

Are you using built in router or ui router?PSL– PSL2014-10-16 02:15:28 +00:00Commented Oct 16, 2014 at 2:15

I would refactor to have all my initialisation of data properties on the scope in a single function, called something like initScope() that is called when the controller is first run, and also on the $routeChangeSuccess (and probably also $routeChangeUpdate if you want to handle changes to the URL that resolve to the same route) event(s).
e.g.
app.controller('MyCtrl', ['$scope', function ($scope) {
function initScope() {
$scope.foo = 1;
$scope.bar = { ram: 'ewe' };
}
initScope();
$scope.$on('$routeChangeUpdate', initScope);
$scope.$on('$routeChangeSuccess', initScope);
}
