I have an app that has a full angularjs frontend with a codeigniter backend (with thishttps://github.com/philsturgeon/codeigniter-restserver)
I am using the codeigniter backend just to make api requests essentially.
The problem I am having now is managing a navigation view based on whether or not a user is logged in.
I have the navigation in its own navCtrl with a userService and loginCtrl.
I am storing loggedIn true or false in a cookie with a $watch on it in the navCtrl so it will update the navigations appropriately.
Any insight on why this may not be working? Any code i need to provide to clarify? Is there a "better" way to do this?
EDIT: The $watch is not actually catching when I update the value using the userService.
Thank you!
