QUESTION

How do I parse an event from UpdateEmployeeController to EmployeeController during an edit action and render (reload) a specific record with the updated data from database.

It's going to be sheer luck anyone is running that setup so try this. Break the problem down to smaller steps. If a step can't be accomplished then it's too big a step. Break it down further.

I solved the problem by broadcasting an event from the child controller

$rootScope.$broadcast('employeeWasUpdated', response.data);   

and capturing the event in the parent controller

scope.$on('employeeWasUpdated', function (event, args) {
    scope.init();   
    //console.log(args) //outputs response.data content
});
