angularjs normal navigation instead of $location.path

Question

in controller A I do $location.path('/home'), but actually I want a normal redirect. $location.path does not reload the page. I know in ui-route there's $state.go({reload:true}), but how to do it with normal ngRoute? I do

.controller('home', function($route){
$route.reload()
}

I got an infinite loop.

You can use the window object to reload instead of $location.path('/path');:

window.location = '/path';

If you want to use ngRoute, you can reload the page on routeChange:

myApp.run(['$route', '$rootScope', function ($route, $rootScope) {
    return $rootScope.$on('$routeChangeStart', function (event, next, current) {
        $route.reload();
    });
}]);

First why you want reload the page while location change in navigation?. I think we don't need reload() on location change.

you are given $route.reload() as on-fly function. The controller execute while navigate and check on-fly function and run $route.reload();. so the route is reload and again the controller initiate, and again execute on-fly function $route.reload();. so the reload is going infinity.

You can try $route.reload in function ng-click as per need. don't use reload() function as on-fly function.

Example.

$scope.saveData = function(){
 //some save functionality and reload the route
$route.reload();
}

<button ng-click="saveData">Save</button>

uh? if I use your code in controller A, it will reload itself, it won't go anywhere. – Jamie Anderson Dec 16 '16 at 15:09
yep Jamie I knew. I said that point of way only. Why we need to reload the page while $location.path();. Automatically controller get load while change the route. – Manikandan Velayutham Dec 17 '16 at 04:25
