I am using the Angular-ui/bootstrap modal in my project.
Here is my modal:
$scope.toggleModal = function () {
$scope.theModal = $modal.open({
animation: true,
templateUrl: 'pages/templates/modal.html',
size: "sm",
scope: $scope
});
}
One is able to close the modal by clicking the ESC button or clicking outside the modal area. Is there a way to run a function when this happens? I am not quite sure how to catch the sort of closing.
I know that I can manually dismiss a modal by having a ng-click="closeModal()"
like this:
$scope.closeModal = function () {
$scope.theModal.dismiss('cancel');
};
If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Yes you can. It causes a dismiss event and the promise is rejected in that case. Also, note that the $modal.open()
method returns an object that has a result
property that is a promise.
With the promise you can...
//This will run when modal dismisses itself when clicked outside or
//when you explicitly dismiss the modal using .dismiss function.
$scope.theModal.result.catch(function(){
//Do stuff with respect to dismissal
});
//Runs when modal is closed without being dismissed, i.e when you close it
//via $scope.theModal.close(...);
$scope.theModal.result.then(function(datapassedinwhileclosing){
//Do stuff with respect to closure
});
as a shortcut you could write:
$scope.theModal.result.then(doClosureFn, doDismissFn);
See ref
The open method returns a modal instance, an object with the following properties:
- close(result) - a method that can be used to close a modal, passing a result
- dismiss(reason) - a method that can be used to dismiss a modal, passing a reason
- result - a promise that is resolved when a modal is closed and rejected when a modal is dismissed
- opened - a promise that is resolved when a modal gets opened after downloading content's template and resolving all variables
'rendered' - a promise that is resolved when a modal is rendered.
Old question, but if you want to add confirmation dialogs on various close actions, add this to your modal instance controller:
$scope.$on('modal.closing', function(event, reason, closed) {
console.log('modal.closing: ' + (closed ? 'close' : 'dismiss') + '(' + reason + ')');
var message = "You are about to leave the edit view. Uncaught reason. Are you sure?";
switch (reason){
// clicked outside
case "backdrop click":
message = "Any changes will be lost, are you sure?";
break;
// cancel button
case "cancel":
message = "Any changes will be lost, are you sure?";
break;
// escape key
case "escape key press":
message = "Any changes will be lost, are you sure?";
break;
}
if (!confirm(message)) {
event.preventDefault();
}
});
I have a close button on the top right of mine, which triggers the "cancel" action. Clicking on the backdrop (if enabled), triggers the cancel action. You can use that to use different messages for various close events. Thought I'd share in case it's helpful for others.
You can use the "result" promise returned by $modal.open() method. As bellow:
$scope.toggleModal = function () {
$scope.theModal = $modal.open({
animation: true,
templateUrl: 'pages/templates/modal.html',
size: "sm",
scope: $scope
});
$scope.theModal.result.then(function(){
console.log("Modal Closed!!!");
}, function(){
console.log("Modal Dismissed!!!");
});
}
Also you can use "finally" callback of "result" promise as below:
$scope.theModal.result.finally(function(){
console.log("Modal Closed!!!");
});
