How to transclude content in ui bootstrap modal directive - angularjs

I've made a custom directive on top of ui bootstrap modal directive so I can use the same modal template everywhere in my app.
My directive works until I try to transclude its content into the template:
http://plnkr.co/edit/YPESA3?p=preview
From index.html
<div ng-controller="ModalDemoCtrl">
<button class="btn" ng-click="open()">Open me!</button>
<my:modal open="shouldBeOpen" close="close()">
<h1>Content</h1>
</my:modal>
</div>
Module code:
angular.module('plunker', ['ui.bootstrap'])
.controller('ModalDemoCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.open = function () {
$scope.shouldBeOpen = true;
};
$scope.close = function () {
$scope.closeMsg = 'I was closed at: ' + new Date();
$scope.shouldBeOpen = false;
};
$scope.items = ['item1', 'item2'];
})
.directive('myModal', function() {
return {
restrict : 'E',
templateUrl: 'myTpl.html',
//transclude: true,
scope : {
open : '=',
close : '&'
}
};
});
Modal template:
<div modal="open">
<div class="modal-header">
<h4>I'm a modal!</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<!--<div ng-transclude/>-->
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button class="btn btn-warning cancel" ng-click="close()">Cancel</button>
</div>
</div>
Uncomment transclude property from the directive and the template and you'll see you get a TypeError: undefined is not a function.
I can't figure what I'm doing wrong.

OP, your snippet is exactly what I was looking to do—thanks!
I managed to get your plunk working by passing replace:true as well as transclude: true
Here's the updated plunk http://plnkr.co/edit/gxCS2V?p=preview
I'm new to Angular, so I was interested to know why:
replace - if set to true then the template will replace the current element, rather than append the template to the element.
(via the Angular docs)
Which, of course makes sense once you know.
Good to know if you want to make your directive especially recyclable. Modals are pretty perfect example.
Related : ui-bootstrap is worth checking out.

Check this solution, you dont need a extra controller or angular-ui for that only pass a simple handler and use it
example.js
angular.module('plunker', [], function() {
})
.directive('modal', function() {
return {
restrict : 'E',
templateUrl: 'myTpl.html',
transclude: true,
controller: function($scope) {
// you need get a better unique generator
$scope.modal_id = 'modal_' + Math.floor((Math.random()*100+1));
$scope.handler = $scope.modal_id;
},
scope : {
handler : '='
}
};
})
.run();
index.html
<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="plunker">
<head>
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.3.1/css/bootstrap-combined.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<div ng-init="handler = null">
<modal handler="handler">
<h1>Content</h1>
</modal>
Open me
</div>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.0.5/angular.js"></script>
<script src="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="example.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
myTpl.html
<div id="{{modal_id}}" class="modal hide fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="{{modal_id}}Label" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<h4 id="{{modal_id}}Label">I'm a modal!</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<div ng-transclude></div>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button class="btn" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">Cancel</button>
</div>
</div>
look how works in plunker

How to set default value of custom radio button in a modal

Background:
So I am working with a modal box for searching through a list of task entries within a database using a form to narrow results. In this modal box, there is a custom radio button that's used for selecting whether or not the task is in progress (simple "Yes" or "No" option). The goal is to set the "No" option as the default value whenever the modal is called. Currently, I am using data-ng-init; however, this only works the first time the modal is opened. If the user closes the modal and reopens it, the default value is no longer set. Below is a sample of what this custom button looks like:
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div style="margin-bottom:10px">
<button type="button" data-ng-init="tr.taskInProgress('No')"
title="Task In Progress: No" data-ng-click="tr.taskInProgress('No')"
style="border:0;background:transparent">
<img src="../images/selected.png" data-ng-switch-when="No" />
<img src="../images/Deselect.png" data-ng-switch-when="Yes" />
<img data-ng-switch-when="" src="/nc/images/Deselect.png" /></button>
<text>No
</div>
(another similar button, but for 'yes')
</div>
In the accompanying .js file, the following is used to help populate this modal:
/*--------- Get Tasks ---------*/
tr.closeGetTaskModal = closeGetTasModal;
tr.displayGetTaskMessage = true;
tr.selectedStatusType = getStatusType;
tr.trackingId = '';
tr.performGetTask = performGetTask;
tr.isTaskInProgess = isTaskInProgress;
And, in the same .js file, the following function is used to modify the radio:
function isTaskInProgress(newValue) {
tr.isTaskInProgress = newValue;
}
I have been looking through others iterations on how they handle such cases, but I have been unlucky and have not found anything similar enough to what I am working with that works. I have tried setting the default in the Get Tasks section by modifying isTaskInProgress('No'), but this only locked the modal and I couldn't modify the option. I have tried setting the default inside the isTaskInProgress function; however, this only worked when the button was clicked, it failed to set a default. I tried seeing if data-ng-default would work; however, this didn't seem to be a recognized parameter. Does anyone have suggestions on how to modify this to get the desired results? Thank you all in advance for your help
Small Disclaimer
I am taking the liberty of assuming you are using UI Bootstrap (since I see bootstrap classes in your sample HTML), so will be using Uib Modal in my example.
Bootstrap Modal docs: https://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/#!#modal
Resolver / Callback Solution
You will most likely want to use the controller to set your tr.isTaskInProgress flag rather than using the ng-init directive (a bit more flexibility / readability).
Set tr.isTaskInProgress to false at the top of your target controller function, then pass its value to your modal as a property in a "Modal Resolve Object".
Bootstrap's explanation of the Resolve Object: https://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/#!#ui-router-resolves
Code
function MainController($scope, $uibModal) {
let vm = this;
vm.isTaskInProgress = false;
// When you open the modal, pass in the isTaskProgress value
let modalInstance = $uibModal.open({
templateUrl: 'myModalContent.html', // Points to the script template
controller: 'ModalController', // Points to the controller
controllerAs: 'mc',
windowClass: 'app-modal-window',
backdrop: 'static',
resolve: {
isTaskInProgress: function() {
// pass the task state to the Modal
return vm.isTaskInProgress;
}
}
});
// handle the value(s) passed back from the modal
modalInstance.result.then(returnedTaskState => {
// reassign the returned value of the modal
if (returnedTaskState !== null) {
vm.isTaskInProgress = returnedTaskState;
}
});
}
Working Example
https://plnkr.co/ryK7rG
In the interest of time, I've changed some of the variable / method names from what you have in your snippets. In the example, you can...
Set the In Progress value before you open the modal and the modal reflects the In Progress value.
Change the In Progress value inside the modal. On closing the modal, the value will be updated in the main page.
SO Snippet
I realize the SO Snippet window is not exactly the best place for this example, but just tossing my example code in here in case Plunker is inconvenient for some reason.

Bind data to modal

I am trying to pass some data with a function to display on a modal, yet the usual approaches to binding are not working, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
$scope.openModal = function (obj) {
//$scope.data = {type: obj.type, descriptions: obj.description, isDone: obj.isDone, createDate: obj.createDate, priority: obj.priority};
$scope.data = obj;
console.log($scope.data);
var modalInstance = $uibModal.open({
animation: $scope.animationsEnabled,
templateUrl: 'modalTemplate.html',
controller: 'View1Ctrl',
resolve: {
data: function () {
return $scope.data;
}
}
});
}
Template
<!-- MODAL -->
<div>
<div ng-controller="View1Ctrl">
<script type="text/ng-template" id="modalTemplate.html">
<div class="modal-header">
<h3 class="modal-title">Item Details</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<ul>
<li>Type: <span ng-model="data.type"></span></li>
<li>Description: <span ng-model="data.description"></span></li>
<li>Date: <span ng-model="data.createDate"></span></li>
<li>Priority: <span ng-model="data.priority"></span></li>
<li>Finished: <span ng-model="data.isDone"></span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="$close()">OK</button>
</div>
</script>
</div>
Also tried {{data.type}} etc, and ng-bind. I now my $scope.data is populated because it is showing as much in the console.
You should inject data (resolve object) into your modal controller then add it to the $scope object.
You should remove ng-controller="View1Ctrl" from template.

Angular UI: field entered in Modal is undefined in controller

Please run this plunker, if you enter a value in the modal and then click on show value, the value is undefined in $scope, how to get the value?
HTML
<div ng-app="app" ng-controller="myCtl">
<input type="button" ng-click="openModal()" value="Open Modal">
<script type="text/ng-template" id="myModalContent.html">
<div class="modal-header">
<h4 class="modal-title">The Title</h4>
</div>
<form name="myForm" novalidate>
Enter a value <input type="text" ng-model="someField" />
</form>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button ng-click="showValue()">Show value</button>
</div>
</script>
</div>
Javascript
var app = angular.module('app', ['ui.bootstrap']);
app.controller('myCtl', function($scope,$uibModal) {
$scope.openModal = function() {
$scope.modalInstance = $uibModal.open({
animation: false,
templateUrl: 'myModalContent.html',
scope: $scope
});
};
$scope.showValue = function() {
alert('value entered=' + $scope.someField);
};
});
You are seeing this because the scope of the modal is isolated. Even though you pass the $scope to modal. It still does not use the same $scope.
For your example the following would work.
Update the modal template:
<button ng-click="showValue(someField)">Show value</button>
Update your controller showValue method as follows:
$scope.showValue = function(theValue) {
$scope.someField = theValue;
alert('value entered=' + $scope.someField);
};
Really though the best way to use the modal is to use the modal instance created by the open method to track the close and dismiss events and handle the result that way. Take a look at the example on on the ui-modal section of the ui-bootstrap documentation

AngularJS OpenLayers directive - does not work within angular-ui-dialog

I would like to use AngularJS OpenLayers directive on my page - it works OK but when I put this directive into angular-ui-dialog it won't work.
I cannot see any error in console, any ideas what can be causing this?
Sample usage:
<openlayers width="100px" height="100px"></openlayers>
Plnkr with a demo:
http://plnkr.co/edit/YSfcKaTmNsSpkvSI6wt7?p=preview
It's some kind of a refreshing/rendering issue. You can go around it by adding map to DOM after modal is rendered.
HTML template
<button class="btn btn-primary"
ng-click="demo.modal()">
Open modal
</button>
<script type="text/ng-template"
id="modal.html">
<div class="modal-header">
<h3 class="modal-title">Modal window</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<openlayers width="100px"
height="100px"
ng-if="modal.rendered"> <!-- ng-if adds/removes DOM elements -->
</openlayers>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button class="btn btn-default"
ng-click="$dismiss()">
Cancel
</button>
</div>
</script>
JavaScript
angular.module('app', ['ui.bootstrap', 'openlayers-directive'])
.controller('demoController', function($q, $modal) {
var demo = this;
demo.modal = function() {
$modal.open({
controller: 'modalController',
controllerAs: 'modal',
templateUrl: 'modal.html'
});
};
})
.controller('modalController', function($modalInstance, $timeout) {
var modal = this;
modal.rendered = false;
$modalInstance.rendered.then(function() { // magic here
$timeout(function() {
modal.rendered = true;
});
});
});

Angular UI basic modal not working (demo from docs - with jsfiddle)

I am trying to learn angular ui and copy pasted a demo from their website into a jsfiddle. For some reason it's not working and not giving an error. Can anybody see what I am doing wrong?
If you go into the jsfiddle below and then click the open button nothing happens and there is no error.
JSfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/baswg1wz/1/
Javascript:
angular.module('ui.bootstrap.demo', ['ui.bootstrap']);
angular.module('ui.bootstrap.demo').controller('ModalDemoCtrl', function ($scope, $modal, $log) {
$scope.items = ['item1', 'item2', 'item3'];
$scope.open = function (size) {
var modalInstance = $modal.open({
templateUrl: 'myModalContent.html',
controller: 'ModalInstanceCtrl',
size: size,
resolve: {
items: function () {
return $scope.items;
}
}
});
modalInstance.result.then(function (selectedItem) {
$scope.selected = selectedItem;
}, function () {
$log.info('Modal dismissed at: ' + new Date());
});
};
});
// Please note that $modalInstance represents a modal window (instance) dependency.
// It is not the same as the $modal service used above.
angular.module('ui.bootstrap.demo').controller('ModalInstanceCtrl', function ($scope, $modalInstance, items) {
$scope.items = items;
$scope.selected = {
item: $scope.items[0]
};
$scope.ok = function () {
$modalInstance.close($scope.selected.item);
};
$scope.cancel = function () {
$modalInstance.dismiss('cancel');
};
});

</div>
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular-ui/0.4.0/angular-ui.min.js"></script>
It's not giving any errors because you didn't bootstrap your Angular application. You should wrap your entire html in a div (in a real page you should do this on the html or body tag) and then use the ng-app attribute to initialize/bootstrap your application:
<div ng-app="ui.bootstrap.demo">
<!-- your html -->
</div>
Also i noticed you didn't include the right ui library, you're using:
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular-ui/0.4.0/angular-ui.min.js"></script>
You should be using: (also note the http://)
<script src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular-ui-bootstrap/0.12.0/ui-bootstrap-tpls.min.js"></script>
Furhermore, when using Angular in JSFiddle you should use the no wrap - in <head> option.
That should get you a lot further, but i would recommend using Plunker, if you checked the modal example on the ui.bootstrap site you could have noticed the blue Edit in plunker on the topright of the code, try clicking that.
