AngularJS OnsenUI reload parent page on nav.popPage() in child page

Question

I'm calling a function on ng-init and in that page I'm pushing a new page to the pageStack of navigator on a button click. And in the child page I'm popping the current page. Now I want to reload the parent page when the child page is removed from page stack.

Here is the code:

HTML

<ons-navigator var="nav" page="page1.html">

</ons-navigator>

<ons-template id="page1.html">
    <ons-page ng-controller="pageOneController" ng-init="reload()">
        <ons-toolbar>
            <div class="center">Page 1</div>
        </ons-toolbar>
        <ons-button ng-click="nav.pushPage('page2.html')">Push Page</ons-button>
    </ons-page>
</ons-template>

<ons-template id="page2.html">
    <ons-page>
        <ons-toolbar>
            <div class="center">Page 2</div>
        </ons-toolbar>
        <ons-button ng-click="nav.popPage();">Pop Page</ons-button>
    </ons-page>
</ons-template>

AngularJS

module.controller('pageOneController', function(){
    $scope.reload = function(){
        console.log('Page one controller reloaded');
    }
});

Update

one solution is to reload the app by using

window.location.reload(true);

You can use the new pageReplace() that comes with the new Onsen UI 1.3.0. You can pass it to the callback of popPage() like this:

$scope.popAndReplace = function() {
  $scope.nav.popPage({onTransitionEnd : function() {
     $scope.nav.replacePage('page1.html', { animation : 'none' } );
  }})
};
