How do you call controller injections called again when changing from child route?

I want to parent controller to resolve its injection again when state changes from child to parent.
.state('settings.billing', {
url: '/billing',
controller: 'BillingCtrl as vm',
template: require('./templates/billing.tpl.jade'),
resolve: {
sources: function(StripeService) {
return StripeService.getSources();
}
}
})
.state('settings.billing.newsource', {
url: '/add-source',
onEnter: showAddSourceModal
})
function showAddSourceModal($state, $modal) {
$modal.open({
template: require('./templates/add-source.tpl.jade')(),
controller: 'AddSourceCtrl as vm',
backdrop: true,
keyboard: true,
size: 'md'
})
.result
.finally(function() {
$state.go('^');
});
}
Basically I want sources for BillingCtrl called again when modal is closed. Is it possible?

ui router back button issue

i am working on web app that uses ui-router version 0.3.2 and angular 1.5. i am having an issue with back button, when i hit the back button the url updates to appropriate state url, but does not reloads / renders the page. The controller of the new state (updated url) does not get executed. Following is my state config
$stateProvider
.state('home', {
url: '/',
reloadOnSearch: false,
templateUrl: 'homePage.html',
controller:'homeController'
})
.state('home.overView', {
url:'overView',
reloadOnSearch: false,
views: {
ovSB: {
templateUrl: 'searchParameterBarTemplate.html',
controller: 'searchParameterBarController'
}
}
})
.state('home.overView.result', {
url:'/:docType?abc&xyz&type&user&temp1&temp2',
abstract: true,
reloadOnSearch: false,
templateUrl: 'resultViewTemplate.html',
controller : 'resultPanelController'
})
.state('home.overView.result.dashboard', {
url:'',
reloadOnSearch: false,
views: {
'chart': {
templateUrl: 'chart-template.html',
controller: 'chart-Controller'
},
'oVGrid': {
templateUrl: 'ov-grid-template.html',
controller: 'ov-grid-controller'
},
'filterGrid': {
templateUrl: 'filter-stats-template.html',
controller: 'filter-stats-controller'
}
}
})
.state('home.delta',{
reloadOnSearch: false,
url:'Delta',
views:{
pcSB:{
templateUrl: 'search-parameterbar-delta-template.html',
controller : 'search-parameterBar-delta-controller'
}
}
})
.state('home.delta.result',{
url:'/:docType?xyz_1&abc_1&xyz_2&abc_2',
reloadOnSearch: false,
templateUrl: 'delta-template.html',
controller : 'delta-controller'
})
.state('home.details', {
url: 'details',
views: {
detailsSB: {
templateUrl: 'search-paramBar-details-template.html',
controller: 'search-paramBar-details-controller'
}
}
})
.state('home.details.result', {
url: '/:documentType?abc&xyz&user&temp1&temp2',
abstract: true,
templateUrl: 'details-view-template.html',
controller: 'details-view-controller'
})
.state('home.details.result.dashboard',{
url:'',
views:{
perGraph : {
controller :'per-graph-controller',
templateUrl: 'per-graph-template.html'
},
detailsGrid: {
controller: 'details-grid-controller',
templateUrl: 'details-grid-controller-template.html'
}
}
});
So for example if i navigate from home.overview.result.dashboard (url -> localhost:12345/overview/doctype?abc&xyz&user&temp1&temp2) state to home.details.result.dashboard state with url localhost:12345/details/doctype?abc&xyz&user&temp1&temp2 and hit backbutton, the url updates to localhost:12345/overview/doctype?abc&xyz&user&temp1&temp2 however it does not reloads/renders the page.
I believe I can you use this solution and trigger the reload, but I am looking for a better solution than this which adheres to ui router. is there something i am missing with state config / doing wrong? Any help pertaining to this would be highly appreciated.
Thank you

it will be firing $stateChangeStart event. use location directive to rout it . please refer the below snippet
$rootScope.$on('$routeChangeStart', function (event,next) {
$location.path(next.$$route.originalPath);
});
this can resolve your problem. but its not the perfect solution

Dynamic template Angular UI-Router

I'm trying to load a navbar according to the user.
To do this, I need to set a dynamic template, but I can't see my $rootScope
$stateProvider
/*Login*/
.state('login', {
url: '/',
data: {pageTitle: 'Inicio de sesión.'},
resolve: {},
views: {
'navbar': {
templateUrl: null,
controller: null
},
'body': {
templateUrl: "views/login.html",
controller: 'LoginController'
}
}
})
.state('home', {
url: '/home',
data: {pageTitle: 'Home.'},
views: {
'navbar': {
templateUrl: "views/navbar.html", //here dynamic template
controller: null
},
'body': {
templateUrl: "views/inicio.html",
controller: null
}
}
})
.state('perfil', {
url: '/perfil',
data: {pageTitle: 'Perfil de usuario.'},
views: {
'navbar': {
templateUrl: function (sessionProvider) {
var sessionFactory = sessionProvider.path();
return sessionFactory;
}, // this return a tring, but don't load anything
controller: null
},
'body': {
templateUrl: "views/usuario/perfil.html",
controller: 'UsuarioController'
}
}
});
i've tried use a service to load the data, but it didnt work, also tried to load it from the localStorageService, but don't display anything.
is there a single way to load it ?

There are features for this, like templateUrl and templateProvider. See all details here:
Trying to Dynamically set a templateUrl in controller based on constant
E.g. this could be an example of templateProvider used isntead of the 'templateUrl' static path
templateProvider: function(CONFIG, $templateRequest) {
console.log('in templateUrl ' + CONFIG.codeCampType);
var templateName = 'index5templateB.html';
if (CONFIG.codeCampType === "svcc") {
templateName = 'index5templateA.html';
}
return $templateRequest(templateName);
},

How to view parent state

Angular ui.router dynamic sidebar

I have now tried whole day and i cant figure out how i shall solve this issue.
My goal is to display a sidebar thats get filled with data based on what state it is.
Lets say i am on the home page i may like this items:
Home item 1
Home item 2
And if i am on the about page i want this items:
About me
About my dog
I would like the data to get fetched from a service that returns data to the view based on what state it is.
I have tried to use ui.router's resolve function but i can't get the correct structure in my head to make it work.
Created a plunkr that shows how i mean but without the solution, what are the best practices and preferred ways when creating a dynamic sidebar with Angular and ui.router?
myapp.config(function($stateProvider) {
$stateProvider
.state('home', {
url: "",
views: {
"content": {
template: "This is the home.content"
},
"sidebar": {
templateUrl: 'sidebar.html',
controller: 'sidebarCtrl'
}
}
})
.state('about', {
url: "/about",
views: {
"content": {
template: "This is the about.content"
},
"sidebar": {
templateUrl: 'sidebar.html',
controller: 'sidebarCtrl'
}
}
})
})
Plunkr here
Edit
Can't figure out what i am doing wrong, no view is shown with this code:
app.config(['$stateProvider', '$urlRouterProvider', function ($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
// For any unmatched url, redirect to root
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/");
$stateProvider
.state('root', {
url: '',
'abstract': true,
views: {
'sidebar#': {
templateUrl: '/App/Main/views/shared/sidebars/sidebar.cshtml',
controller: 'app.controllers.views.shared.sidebars.sidebar',
resolve: {
sidebarData: function (sidebarService) {
return sidebarService.getActions();
}
}
}
},
})
.state('root.home', {
url: "/",
views: {
'': {
templateUrl: '/App/Main/views/home/home.cshtml',
controller: 'app.controllers.views.home'
},
'content#root.home': {
templateUrl: '/App/Main/views/home/home-content.cshtml',
controller: 'app.controllers.views.home'
}
}
})
.state('root.about', {
url: "/customers",
views: {
'': {
templateUrl: '/App/Main/views/customers/customers.cshtml',
controller: 'app.controllers.views.customers'
},
'content#root.about': {
templateUrl: '/App/Main/views/customers/customers-content.cshtml',
controller: 'app.controllers.views.customers'
}
}
});
}]);
and here is how my home and customer views look like:
<div data-ui-view="sidebar">
Loading sidebar view.
</div>
<div data-ui-view="content">
Loading content view.
</div>

you could try to implement named and also an abstract view for your sidebar to reuse it among your other routes, also you can use the resolve parameter an return whatever dynamic data you need (from a service, resource, whatever), it could be something like this:
var myapp = angular.module('myapp', ["ui.router"])
myapp.config(function($stateProvider) {
$stateProvider
.state('root',{
url: '',
abstract: true,
views: {
'sidebar#': {
templateUrl: 'sidebar.html',
controller: 'sidebarCtrl',
resolve:{
sidebarData:function(){
return [{
state: '/stateHere',
text: 'Need'
}, {
state: '/stateHere',
text: 'to'
}, {
state: '/stateHere',
text: 'fill'
}, {
state: '/stateHere',
text: 'this'
}, {
state: '/stateHere',
text: 'with'
}, {
state: '/stateHere',
text: 'dynamic'
}, {
state: '/stateHere',
text: 'data'
}];
}
}
}
})
.state('root.home', {
url: "/",
views: {
'content#': {
template: "This is the home.content"
}
}
})
.state('root.about', {
url: "/about",
views: {
'content#': {
template: "This is the about.content"
}
}
})
});
myapp.controller('sidebarCtrl', ['$scope','sidebarData'
function($scope,sidebarData) {
$scope.sidebarData= sidebarData,
}
]);
