Center Angular modal ui

Question

I am playing with angular modal ui dialog. I wonder what is the way to center it ? I find a similar question: Twitter Bootstrap - Center Modal Dialog

but was unable to make it work as I am rather new to angular. Here is a simplified version of the plunker for modal dialog from the angular ui components page:

http://plnkr.co/edit/M35rpChHYThHLk17g9zU?p=preview

<script type="text/ng-template" id="myModalContent.html">
        <div class="modal-header">
            <h3>I'm a modal!</h3>
        </div>
        <div class="modal-body">
            test
        </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>
    </script>

    <button class="btn btn-default" ng-click="open()">Open me!</button>

js:

angular.module('plunker', ['ui.bootstrap']);
var ModalDemoCtrl = function ($scope, $modal) {

  $scope.open = function () {

    var modalInstance = $modal.open({
      templateUrl: 'myModalContent.html',
      controller: ModalInstanceCtrl
    });

  };
};


var ModalInstanceCtrl = function ($scope, $modalInstance) {

  $scope.ok = function () {
    $modalInstance.close("ok");
  };

  $scope.cancel = function () {
    $modalInstance.dismiss("cancel");
  };
};

My idea is to take the dimensions of the page dynamically when the modal is open and resize and center it, but I am not sure how can I do that as I am rather new to angularjs. Any help with working example will be greatly appreciated.

You can specify the style class for the modal window by using windowClass attribute while creating modalInstance

var modalInstance = $modal.open({
      templateUrl: 'myModalContent.html',
      controller: 'ModalInstanceCtrl',
      windowClass: 'center-modal'
    });

then in your css you can specify the definition for .center-modal like,

.center-modal {
    position: fixed;
    top: 10%;
    left: 18.5%;
    z-index: 1050;
    width: 80%;
    height: 80%;
    margin-left: -10%;
}

or specify anything based on your needs
