Closing a modal when click on the form submit - angularjs

Question

My modal holds a form and I want to close the modal when the user clicks the submit button. The simplified form looks like this:
<div class='modal fade' id='{{ module.name }}Modal' role='dialog'>
<div class='modal-dialog modal-lg'>
<div class='modal-content'>
<form ng-submit='submitModule(module)'>
<div class='modal-body'>
...
</div>
<div class='modal-footer'>
<button type='submit' class='btn btn-primary'>Run</button>
<button type='button' class='btn btn-default' data-dismiss='modal'>Cancel</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
You can see the two buttons. The close button uses data-dismiss='modal' which works fine. But I can't use that on the submit button, because that "cancels" out the ng-submit=submitModule() submission function; the modal will close but the function won't get called.
Would the solution be to close the modal from the submitModule() function? But how can I get a hold of the modal from there?

Answer 1

You can append as many method calls to the (ngSubmit) i.e
form class="well" (ngSubmit)="addUserModal.hide(); addUser(model); userForm.reset()" #userForm="ngForm"

Answer 2

You can add one small jQuery code in your HTML file...
Add onclick attribute in button.
<div class='modal fade' id='{{ module.name }}Modal' role='dialog'>
<div class='modal-dialog modal-lg'>
<div class='modal-content'>
<form ng-submit='submitModule(module)'>
<div class='modal-body'>
...
</div>
<div class='modal-footer'>
<button type='submit' class='btn btn-primary' onclick="$('.modal').modal('hide')">Run</button>
<button type='button' class='btn btn-default' data-dismiss='modal'>Cancel</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>

Use the Angular-UI library - Modal: download minified version here:
First include the library in your module:
angular.module('myModule', ['ui.bootstrap']);
Then, in your controller, you can close the modal within the form submit function:
$scope.submitModule = function(module) {
dialog.close(result);
// REST OF YOUR CODE TO HANDLE FORM INPUT
}
