How to catch the initial broadcast 'sl:login' event?

[bfredo123]

I am trying to catch the 'sl:login' event broadcasted by the superlogin $get method (the one fired right after _session = JSON.parse(...) ).

I would like to call $rootScope.$on in order to listen to this event from within my own service. But since this service is dependent from superlogin, its provider will be called necessarily after the superlogin one, so I believe there is no way to catch the 'sl:login' event. Am I right?

The way I worked this around is to call superlogin.authenticate() from my service factory, and everything is working fine: this way I can get the credentials stored from a previous application usage, if any.

But then, maybe the mentioned $broadcast call is of no use for no-one (I am not an Angular factory/provider exper, so I may be wrong). Hope this helps anyway.

We may be able to solve that by wrapping the initial sl:login broadcast in a setTimeout function.

Thanks for your answer! Isn't there a risk that depending on the system, and other tasks running, the timeout elapses before the config finishes?

This is something we would need to test, but Angular's $timeout should make sure everything else is bootstrapped before it is run.
