Ionic pull to refresh

Your html content should look like this:

<ion-content class="has-header">
    <ion-refresher pulling-text="Refreshing List" on-refresh="refreshList()">
    </ion-refresher>
    <ion-list can-swipe="true">
        <ion-item ng-repeat="item in arrItemValues track by $index">
            {{item}}
        </ion-item>
      </ion-list>
</ion-content>

When user pull to refresh on html page the refreshList() method will call.

You can write your JS code to populate the list.
