Call Angular Controller function on application Close

Question

I want to execute a function before the application close. I have a code which is executing before the route changes that is fine, but I also want to execute the same function if someone close the application instead of changes the route..Is there any way?

 $scope.$on('$destroy', function () {

                element.autoSave();

            });

The closest you can get would be subscribe to window.unload event, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window.onunload — Chandermani, Apr 05 '14 at 15:05

The "onbeforeunload" event fires before the window starts unloading its resources. More info here: MDN onbeforeunload

Beware of what you do on this handler, as the browser would not complete, for example, an Ajax request before unloading.
