How to handle events (like $rootScope or socket events) in an Angular controller correctly? I'm facing the problem that my controllers aren't destroyed, which cause some problems when it comes to listening to specific events.
To make it clear what I mean here's a plunker: http://plnkr.co/edit/CkXKUnpUdsbnZEjq8zLy?p=preview
Triggering the rootscope event (by clicking on the button) in the first place works as intended: just one event is fetched. But navigating to Route 2 and triggering the rootscope event again shows my problem; the event is fetched twice, since (at least that's my guess) both controllers are active now. Every route switch causes an additional event listener.
How to handle this?
