Is it possible to clear the view cache in Ionic?

by

In the state definition in app.js you can add cache:false to disable caching (See Disable cache within state provider in the Ionic docs. Or, you can keep caching except when you know data has changed.

  • If you’re already on the page, you can do, $state.go($state.currentState, {}, {reload:true})
  • If you’re on another state and want to go back to the state that is normally cached but you want it to be refreshed, you can do, $ionicHistory.clearCache().then(function(){ $state.go('app.fooState') })

Note, the latter requires clearCache to return a promise. See the changes I made in this pull request and compare the implementation of clearCache that you have now with mine: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/pull/3724
