ionic-modals

What is it?

Ionic Modals is a service that allows you to pass a controller and variable to a function, which is not a native function of Ionic.

Why do I need it?

If you have ever wanted to trigger a modal that has its own controller, but you also need to pass some data to it, you want this modal service. Imagine using a modal to edit someone user information. Adding all that edit code to the parent controller is messy, but you have to pass the user info to render. Use $modalService to solve your problem!

How do I use it?

• Add tjsail33.ionicModals to your module definition line:

angular.module 'starter', ['ionic','tjsail33.ionicModals']

• Include $modalService in your controller or directive, and then wrap the following code in a function:

$modalService.show('templates/path/to/modal.html', 'ControllerName', {custom,parameters}, {ionic,modal,options})

• Then, define your controller like so:

app.controller "ControllerName", ['parameters', (parameters) ->
	# your code here	
]

• Access the custom parameters from the $modalService.show() method by using the parameters object passed to the controller.

API

.show(path,controllerName,parameters,options,parentScope=null)

Returns a promise that resolves when the modal closes, same as the standard Ionic Modal service.

The parentScope argument is optional. If one is not passed, $rootScope will be used as the parent.
