Use UI-Bootstrap Modal with Angular-Fullstack and ES6

Question

I would like to use the ui-bootsrap Modal with the AngularJS Fullstack Generator & ES6, but it doesn't work. I would like to choose a Project, click "Edit" and edit the Project in a large Modal. But I don't get the modal to open.

In the Console, I get this error Message:

"Error: $modal is not defined"

My Project Controller looks like this:

'use strict';

(function() {

  class ProjectCtrl {

    constructor(Project, $modal, $log) {
      this.project = Project;
      this.projects = [];
      this.getAllProjects(Project);
      this.$modal = $modal;
      this.log = $log;
    }

    // Open a modal window to Update a single Project
    modalUpdate(size, selectedProject) {
      var modalInstance = $modal.open({
        templateUrl: 'app/project/project-edit.modal.html',
        controller: function ($scope, modalInstance, aProject) {
          $scope.project = aProject;
        },
        size: size,
        resolve: {
          aProject: function () {
            return selectedProject;
          }
        }
      });

      modalInstance.result.then(function (selectedItem) {
        this.selected = selectedItem;
      }, function () {
        $log.info('Modal dismissed at: ' + new Date());
      });
    };
  }

angular.module('projectApp')
    .controller('ProjectCtrl', ProjectCtrl);
})();

app.js looks like this:

'use strict';

angular.module('projectApp', [
  'projectApp.constants',
  'ngCookies',
  'ngResource',
  'ngSanitize',
  'ui.router',
  'ui.bootstrap' 
])
  .config(function($urlRouterProvider, $locationProvider) {
    $urlRouterProvider
      .otherwise('/');

    $locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
  });

The Button to open the Modal:

<button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-xs pull-right" ng-click="ProjectCtrl.modalUpdate('lg', project)"><span aria-hidden="false"></span> Edit</button>

My guess is that in ProjectCtrl, I have somehow to $inject 'Project', '$modal' & '$log', but I don't know how and where.

I solved the Modal problem in another way, cause it seems that UI Bootstrap doesn't work in ES6. At least not now.

I used the Modal Service here for Angular-Fullstack.

Here is a simple example with a delete Modal:

'use strict';

(function() {

class AdminController {
  constructor(User, Modal) {
    // Use the User $resource to fetch all users
    this.users = User.query();
    this.modal = Modal;
  }

  delete(user) {
    var deleteConfirmationModal = this.modal.confirm.delete((user) => {
        user.$remove();
        this.users.splice(this.users.indexOf(user), 1);
    });

    deleteConfirmationModal(user.name, user);
  }
}

angular.module('sampleApp.admin')
  .controller('AdminController', AdminController);

})();

This is how the Modal looks like:

Which version of ui-bootstrap are you using ?

The syntax is different depending on which version you're using.

Assuming you're using v0.13.4 or older and without ES6, here the solution :

NOTE : If you're using more recent version than v0.13.4 then replace $modal by $uibModal and $modalInstance by $uibModalInstance and it should work too.

First, what you need to do is write in the command line :

yo angular-fullstack:controller MyModalName

then in myModalName.controller.js put this :

.controller('MyModalNameCtrl', function ($scope,$modal) {

$scope.openModal = function () {
  var modalInstance = $modal.open({
    animation: true,
    templateUrl: 'testmodal',
    controller: 'ModalInstanceCtrl',

  });

  modalInstance.result.then(function () {}, function () {
    console.log('Modal dismissed at: ' + new Date());
  });
};

});

Then still in myModalName.controller.js put below :

//change theNameOfYourApp to your corresponding app name !
angular.module('theNameOfYourApp').controller('ModalInstanceCtrl', function ($scope, $modalInstance) {

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

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

Then last step, in your .html page where you want to display the modal, put :

<!--Modal Template-->
<div ng-controller="MyModalNameCtrl">
  <script type="text/ng-template" id="testmodal">
    <div class="modal-header">
      <h3 class="modal-title">Hello :</h3>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-body">
      <p>hey, this is the body </p>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-footer">
      <button class="btn btn-default" type="button" ng-click="ok()">OK</button>

      <button class="btn btn-default" type="button" ng-click="cancel()">Cancel()</button>
    </div>
  </script>
</div>

I updated my ui-bootstrap to the latest version yesterday. Isn't there any other way to solve the problem in my already existing "ProjectCtrl"? I am using this Controller for the CRUD operations and I wanted to use the Modal to update values of the project. But I wrote the ProjectCtrl in ES6 and don't know how to implement the modal also in ES6. — crazy-ace, May 22 '16 at 17:07
I don't have good knowledge about ES6, so I can't really help you in this case :/ Maybe, take back my above example, and translate what I wrote into ES6, It should not be too difficult I guess. — Emidomenge, May 24 '16 at 07:07
