created Events service with dashboardchange event [c53f965]

I think the suggested solution with an event isn't bad. The other options I can think of:

1. Pass a callback into the directive to be fired upon change: on-change="reloadDashboards()".
2. Trigger the modal from javascript and not html and reload the dashboards upon close of the modal.

Any solution for this problem that relies on communication in the view layer will probably lead to maintenance hell.

It's better to have a "single source of truth" and have the views represent its state. When it mutates, mutate the view. Angular makes it easy, as this is its default behavior - you just need to wire things right.

In this case, I would have a dashboards model. This model holds the list of all dashboards, recent dashboards, etc. And it gets notified when you edit/create/delete a dashboard. And for simplicity, there is no need to have an identity map or similar - just notify it, and reload from the whole list(s) from the server.
