So, here's what I am understanding about your order of events, simplest
scenario...
1. User comes to home page and is not logged in therefore sees Login form.
2. User enters credentials and clicks login, which let's say is successful,
so factory method sets it's local isLoggedIn value to true and broadcasts
the event.
3. At this point in time, the MainController and the LoginController are
still active controllers on the page. MainController gets the broadcast
(but not sure why, maybe to change the state of the menu navigation?).
LoginController runs the promise.then() function which sets it's own state
variable for isLoggedIn (but not sure why here either as the view is about
to change), then redirects the angular route so the new view is loaded with
the ClientController to show the account info.
Why does the ClientController need the broadcast? To get the phpData? If
this is true, I'd say put the object data on the factory instance and by
injected it into the ClientController you will have access to the user's
logged in data (or anywhere throughout the app).
factory.user = {
isLoggedIn : false,
data: null
};
// in $http promise.then()
if (phpData.account_type === 'client') {
// $timeout(function() {
broadcast('clientAuthenticated', phpData);
factory.user.data = phpData;
// }, 1000);
return phpData;
}
