javascript - angularjs controller executes 2 times -

i have problem controller executes twice, yet not have duplicates can see (even running case sensitive search through files shows 1 in route configuration , actual controller).

route config:

$routeprovider.when('/cb159e1ec61d0613f10ab397d8bd6782',{     templateurl: view+'passwordreset.html',     controller:'passwordreset' }); 

controller:

app.controller('passwordreset',['$scope','$http',     function($scope,$http){         $scope.token='asdf'         console.log($scope.token); // <-- logs 2x console }]); 

passwordreset.html:

<div class="row">     <div class="small-12 columns">         <fieldset class="content-box">             password reset {{token}}         </fieldset>     </div> </div> 

also, i've created new route , tried, still logs twice. i've cleared cache well. controllers execute once, twice (i put alert in few controllers, show once, twice)

another example:

//route config     $routeprovider.when('/', {      templateurl: view+'home',      controller:'home'     });  //template            <div ng-controller="testing">a</div> //controller lmu.controller('home',function($scope){     $scope.home='home';     alert($scope.home); <-- alerts 2x (two scopes home controller created) }); 

i figured out problem. had 2 layouts depending on whether user authorized using ng-show="user.authorized" , ng-show="!user.authorized". each had . every ng-view gets processed whether ng-show true or false.

i didn't realize in ng-show gets processed whether true or not.

fix: used ng-switch instead of ng-show. keeps view being processed until condition met.
