I'm trying to store data in my services similar to the answer in :
Processing $http response in service
app.factory('myService', function($http) { var promise; var myService = { async: function() { if ( !promise ) { // $http returns a promise, which has a then function, which also returns a promise promise = $http.get('test.json').then(function (response) { // The then function here is an opportunity to modify the response console.log(response); // The return value gets picked up by the then in the controller. return response.data; }); } // Return the promise to the controller return promise; } }; return myService; }); app.controller('MainCtrl', function( myService,$scope) { $scope.clearData = function() { $scope.data = {}; }; $scope.getData = function() { // Call the async method and then do stuff with what is returned inside our own then function myService.async().then(function(d) { $scope.data = d; }); }; });
However, I noticed that the data in my services persists even after logout. Thus I could login as a completely different user and see data which I should not see.
How can I clear data after logout? Sure I could manually clear everything in all my services, but I am looking for a more general approach such as "clear all user data". I have tried to force a page refresh, and it works, but I don't like the flash it produces.
