cleaning up services

[Jake Kwon]

Hello,

I am using services to share data across multiple controllers. But I noticed

that when I logout and log back in the data in my services still has data from the previous session.

How can I properly clean up my services after I finish a session?

Thanks

PS: my service looks like this

app.factory('UserModel', function(){

  var user = {

    id: '',

    profile: {}

    ...

  }

  return user;

});

Hi Jake,

Refresh your browser on log-out. Services are singletons, and they keep their value as long as those are alive.

Hey, Sanders Elias

Thanks for your answer.

When you said 'Refresh your browser on log-out', you mean refresh manually? ( e.g. by pressing the keyboard's f5 button)?

If this is what you meant, I do not desire the user to do that whenever they log out from the app.

Thanks

Hi Jake,

No, you can’t ask a user to do that. Do a window.location.reload(true); just after your logout code.

Hello, Elias

Thanks again for your answer, 

Actually I looked at the $route.reload() function, which does the same in an angular fashion.

Just out of curiosity, is there any reason why you recommended me to use 'window.location.reload(true)' over the $route.reload() ?

Thanks
