17- User CRM Login name cached about mean-machine-code HOT 8 CLOSED

@franzsilva you can set vm.user = ''which does the trick, not sure if it's the best method but it's a suggestion.

setting vm.user = '' at logout does not seem to fix the cache. I got the latest copy of code and this bug still persists..

hey thanks! that version definitely works :) do you mind explaining shortly what was the fix? bcos my version also had the vm.user = '' at logout, but doesn't work.

@yonasstephen that's difficult to say without seeing your code. My best suggestion is to diff your angular controllers and services to the repo above and the code examples in the book. My guess is something was overlooked.

I spotted the issue, it's the cache for /api/me should be set to false return $http.get('/api/me', { cache: false });

@yonasstephen 👍 glad you found it!

Yes, setting the cache to false works, but I think a better approach will be to cache the info and clear it on logout:

vm.doLogout = function () {
        // logout code
        $cacheFactory.get('$http').remove('/api/me');
    };

You would need to inject $cacheFactory into your controller though. Just my 2 cents :)
