Passing data between controllers in uib modal - angularjs

Question

I have written a common uib modal in my angularjs app. The content of its body and footer needs to change according to some situations so I have given it like this as of now. The code is actually working fine but need to make sure if Im doing things the right way...
Here on clicking a button of modal I'm actually comparing the text of the button clicked. I'm not expecting the modal as a directive.
HTML code
<div class="modal-header" >
<button type="button" class="close" ng-click="close()" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>
<h4><b>{{customModal.title}}</b></h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
{{customModal.body}}
</div>
<div class="modal-footer" >
<span ng-repeat="item in customModal.buttons">
<button type="button" class="{{item.btnClass}}" ng-click="modalBtnClick(customModal,item);close()" data-dismiss="modal" ng-if="item.show">{{item.text}}</button>
<span>
</div>
Calls the modal on clicking.....
$scope.areYouSureModalInstance = $uibModal.open({
animation: true,
templateUrl: 'views/Modal.html',
controller: 'ModalCtrl',
windowClass: 'nested-modal',
scope: $scope,
resolve: {
items: function() {
let btns=[
{id:1,text:"Yes",show:true, btnClass:"btn btn-success"},
{id:2,text:"No",show:true, btnClass:"btn btn-danger"},
{id:3,text:"Cancel",show:true, btnClass:"btn btn-default"}
];
$scope.customModal = {
id:'confirm',
title:'Confirm',
body:'Do you want to save the changes you have made?',
buttons:btns
};
//passes the modal properties
return $scope.customModal;
}
}
});
//Inside the uib modal controller
function ModalCtrl($scope) {
$scope.close = function() {
$scope.areYouSureModalInstance.close();
};
$scope.modalBtnClick=function(data,btn){
if(data.id==="confirm"){
$scope.$emit('close.confirm',btn);
}
};
}
//If the user clicks on any button
$scope.$on('close.confirm', function(event, data) {
if (data.text.toLowerCase()==="no") {
//do some stuff here
}
if (data.text.toLowerCase()==="yes") {
//do some stuff here
}
$scope.modalInstance.close();
});
Is there a better way to do this with two controller and not using the modal a directive...

Answer 1

$uibModal.open().result returns a Promise.
So therefore subscribe to the promise result by doing
$scope.areYouSureModalInstance.then(function(args) {
//arguments that the modal returned
console.log(args);
},function () {
//errors
});
for closing and confirmation method
function ModalCtrl($scope, $uibModalInstance) {
$scope.close = function() {
$uibModalInstance.dismiss();
};
$scope.modalBtnClick=function(data,btn){
if(data.id==="confirm"){
// btn -> arguments that you pass
$uibModalInstance.close(btn);
}
};
}
