Requirements

• angular
• angular-cookies (ngCookies)

Rails setup for angular

Add gem

gem 'frontend_reload_control'

Add in application.js

//= require frontend_reload_control

Add on your main modules

.config(function ($httpProvider) {
  $httpProvider.interceptors.push('FrontendReloadControlInterceptor')
})

Cors (optional)

If your frontend and api has diferents domains you need to configure CORS to expose X-Frontend-Reload-Control-Timestamp header. Need help? https://github.com/cyu/rack-cors

Tips

This gem will looks for timestamp.txt file on root of project to setup the actual version of app, if it doesn't exists it will use Time.now.to_i at APP startup.

If you want to avoid browser to reload for each APP restarts you need to fill timestamp.txt when you deploy your APP.
