I am using Angular-ui to pop up a modal with a form in it. My code is:
app.controller('NewCaseModalCtrl', ['$http', '$scope','$modal', function ($http, $scope, $modal, $log) {
$scope.items = ['item1', 'item2', 'item3'];
$scope.open = function (size) {
var modalInstance = $modal.open({
templateUrl: 'modal-new-case.html',
controller: 'ModalInstanceCtrl',
size: size,
resolve: {
items: function () {
return $scope.items;
}
}
});
modalInstance.result.then(function (selectedItem) {
$scope.selected = selectedItem;
}, function () {
});
};
}]);
And then I have another controller that is inside the modal-new-case.html template, and I want it to run an httpd request and then close that modal, here is that code:
app.controller('CreateCaseFormCtrl', ['$http','$scope', function($http,$scope) {
$scope.formData = {};
$scope.processForm = function() {
$http.post('http://api.com/proj', $scope.formData).
success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
console.log(success + data.id);
}).
error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
console.log(Error + status + data);
});
};
}]);
Okay so inside my modal-new-case.html template, which is loaded when I do:
ng-controller=NewCaseModalCtrl
I have this HTML:
<div ng-controller=CreateCaseFormCtrl>
<form ng-submit=processForm()>
<button class=btn btn-primary ng-click=processForm() >OK</button>
<button class=btn ng-click=cancel()>Cancel</button>
</form>
</div>
So if you see, what I really want to do is to run that processForm() function, and when it returns with a success, I want to THEN call the function that will close the modal, which I believe cancel() would be fine.
But I don't know how to refer to it from the CreateCaseFormCtrl controller.
I appreciate any thoughts and help, and I would like to add that I am very unsophisticated when it comes to Angular, so if this is complicated, please remember that maybe I am not 100% clear on what every single thing in Angular is such as the factories and such. I guess I'm saying I'm very happy with a dirty solution that's fairly simple, since this isn't going to be long-term production programming code.
