I'm using controllerAs syntax to avoid a $scope soup in my controllers, and also using ui.bootstrap to present a modal view.
I need to open a modalInstace that shares the same scope as the current controller. When injecting the scope, you could probably do something like:
var modalInstance = $uibModal.open({
templateUrl: 'addEditModal.html',
scope: $scope
});
However as I'm not injecting the scope, and using controllerAs syntax, that will not work.
From what I've found, you will need to use resolve to pass the data, but you have to pass it explicitly via functions. Is there a way to pass the entire scope?
There is a bunch of stuff I need to do in that modal and passing loads of data seems overkill.
Don't want to do this, as it seems messy...
var modalInstance = $modal.open({
templateUrl: 'myModalContent.html',
controller: 'ModalInstanceCtrl',
resolve: {
user: function() {
return vm.user;
},
something: function() {
return vm.something;
},
blah: function() {
return blah;
}
}
});
Any better ideas?
