I have a controller that is referenced in some html. And the html changes on some event so the controller function code executes multiple times.
The problem is that I have a peace of code that needs to be executed only once.
Here is the controller:
angular.module("someModule", [dependencies])
.controller("leftBoardController", function ($scope, someService) {
(function createFilter(dataService) {
// here I'm loading all the data on which I want to operate after
// this code should execute only once
})(TempEmployeeService);
}
But it executes each time the html changes.
This is how the controller is inserted:
<section ng-controller="TreeMapController"
ng-class="{ 'main-container-single': zoomed }"
class="minContainer main-container">
Questions:
1) How to make the controller function execute only once?
2) Or is there a way I can write this peace of code that will execute only once?
