plunk: http://plnkr.co/edit/85Wl5W If I use the $modalInstance on the same controller(modalController.js), without being in a modal, angular gets frozen.
I just want to simplify my life using angularjs with the angular-ui bootstrap modal service. I want to use the same controller on a separate file, but on a modal as well. That is, I want them to do the same task. Is there any proper way to do it?
E.g. modal.html, modalController.js. I want to show these on a modal window, but on my application as well without a modal. The issue is that if I use the same controller I can't inject the $modalInstance, as it's undefined if there's no modal.
Thanks in advance,
Alex
It was possible in older version of UI-Bootstrap 0.10.0 .Even latest version,it works for me
index.html
<!-- if you are using Bower -->
<script src="bower_components/angular-bootstrap/ui-bootstrap.min.js">
</script>
<script src="bower_components/angular-bootstrap/ui-bootstrap-tpls.min.js">
</script>
<!-- modal -->
<!-- look at 'type' and 'id' values -->
<script type="text/ng-template" id="myTestModal.tmpl.html">
<div class="modal-header">
<h3>Modal Header</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<p>Modal Body</p>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" ng-click="close()" data-dismiss="modal">Close
</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="doSomething()">Do Something
</button>
</div>
</script>
modalDemoController.js
$scope.openModal=function(){
$scope.modalInstance=$modal.open({
templateUrl: 'myTestModal.tmpl.html',
scope:$scope
});
}
$scope.close=function(){
$scope.modalInstance.dismiss();//$scope.modalInstance.close() also works I think
};
$scope.doSomething=function(){
//any actions to take place
console.log("Do Something");
}
I haven't found a clean solution yet, the best workaround I found, to avoid writing the same code twice was to extend the modal controller like this:
$.extend(this, $controller('NormalCtrl', {$scope: $scope}));
full controller:
.controller('ModalCtrl', ['$scope', '$controller', '$modalInstance',
function ($scope, $controller, $modalInstance) {
//with this line here:
// Initialize the super class and extend it.
$.extend(this, $controller('NormalCtrl', {$scope: $scope}));
// Opens a search result
$scope.openResult = function() {
$modalInstance.close($scope.selectedRow);
};
// Called when the cancel button is pressed
$scope.back = function() {
$modalInstance.dismiss('cancel');
};
}]);
That way, I can re-use the same code, without having to rewrite it all over again and I can override the functions that I want to do smth different to the original controller.
Hope I helped some people out there,

Just write a function instead of creating new file:
$scope.yourModal= function (data) {
var modalInstance = $modal.open({
template: '<div>Do you really want to hurt me? <div><button class="btn" ng-click="hurt(data)">Yes</button></div></div>',
controller: function($scope, scope){
$scope = scope;
},
resolve: {
scope: function () {
return $scope;
}
},
size: 'sm'
});
}
$scope.hurt = function(data){
console.log(data);
}
