AngularJs: Reload page

You can use the reload method of the $route service. Inject $route in your controller and then create a method reloadRoute on your $scope.

$scope.reloadRoute = function() {
   $route.reload();
}

Then you can use it on the link like this:

<a ng-click="reloadRoute()" class="navbar-brand" title="home" data-translate>PORTAL_NAME</a>

This method will cause the current route to reload. If you however want to perform a full refresh, you could inject $window and use that:

$scope.reloadRoute = function() {
   $window.location.reload();
}

**Later edit (ui-router):**

As mentioned by JamesEddyEdwards and Dunc in their answers, if you are using angular-ui/ui-router you can use the following method to reload the current state / route. Just inject $state instead of $route and then you have:

$scope.reloadRoute = function() {
    $state.reload();
};
