Menu
I am trying to make a modal which can be instantiated from multiple places in the app. from the example given here: Angular directives for Bootstrap the modal controller is in the same file as the controller who instantiates the modal. I want to separate the modal controller from the "app" controller.
index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="modalTest">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body ng-controller="modalTestCtrl">
<button ng-click="openModal()">Modal</button>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.2.20/angular.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular-ui-bootstrap/0.10.0/ui-bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular-ui-bootstrap/0.10.0/ui-bootstrap-tpls.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="modalTest.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
The controller:
var app = angular.module('modalTest', ['ui.bootstrap']);
app.controller('modalTestCtrl', ['$scope', '$modal', function($scope, $modal) {
$scope.openModal = function() {
var modalInstance = $modal.open({
templateUrl: 'modal.html',
controller: 'modalCtrl',
size: 'sm'
});
}
}]);
// I want this in another JavaScript file...
app.controller('modalCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope) {
$scope.hello = 'Works';
}]);
modal.html:
<div ng-controller="modalCtrl">
<div class="modal-header">
<h3 class="modal-title">I'm a modal!</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<h1>{{hello}}</h1>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="ok()">OK</button>
<button class="btn btn-warning" ng-click="cancel()">Cancel</button>
</div>
</div>
Is there any way to put the modalCtrl in another JavaScript file and somehow inject the controller (modalCtrl) into the modalTestCtrl ?

Of course, you can do it. First of all you should use a function declaration.
// modalCtrl.js
// This file has to load before modalTestCtrl controller
function modalCtrl ($scope) {
$scope.hello = 'Works';
};
Then, change the modalTestCtrl like:
app.controller('modalTestCtrl', ['$scope', '$modal', function($scope, $modal) {
$scope.openModal = function() {
var modalInstance = $modal.open({
templateUrl: 'modal.html',
controller: modalCtrl, //This must be a referance, not a string
size: 'sm'
});
}
}]);
With the changes above, you code has to work.
