Call a function on every template/controller onload

Question

I just a made a function for my app that checks the users info. I created this in my authentication controller in the $rootScope

My problem is that now, I have to manually call that function in all the controllers that I have.

There must be a way to automatically call that on all pages when the page loads.

Thanks!

You mean trigger it on application load or when a given range of views get's compiled? — Chris Hermut, Dec 12 '15 at 17:18

Have a look at $location service.

After url changes it broadcasts '$locationChangeSuccess' so from there you can just use $scope.$on();

Update: After reading your comment you might be better of using .run

Is the run section of a module really called every time any controller is loaded or reloaded? – Andre Kreienbring Dec 12 '15 at 18:04
No it's not. See here https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/providers. .run is executed after injector is created and it happens once after application starts. – Chris Hermut Dec 12 '15 at 18:06

To call a certain function every time a controller loads there is this receipt: 1) Define the function on the $rootScope:

$rootScope.myFunction = function(param1, param2){
  //do your stuff
}

and then in every controller just use it like this: myFunction(what, ever);

This way the function will even be called when the controller is reloaded.

Yea. I was just wondering what you do if you have lots of controllers. It seems pretty annoying to copy and paste it 100 times. – Manu Masson Dec 12 '15 at 17:48
At least I don't know of any other way to achieve this. – Andre Kreienbring Dec 12 '15 at 18:02
