如何将数据从ngDialog传递回调用方控制器

Question

I'm using AngularJS 1.3 and ngDialog 0.5.9

Opening the dialog using the code similar to this:

function openDialog() {
    $scope.dataToPassToDialog = myData;
    var dialog = ngDialog.open({
        template: 'template.html',
        className: 'ngdialog-theme-default',
        scope: $scope,
    });

    dialog.closePromise.then(function (data) {

    });
}

I have a small form in the dialog and I need to pass that data back when user closes the dialog. Inside dialog controller I'm closing it using :

ngDialog.close();

I need to pass a data object back from dialog to calling controller, I can't find anything in documentation, I tried

ngDialog.close(myDataFromDialog);

but I can't access it in any way.

How can I do it?

Answer 1

Found how to do it, it's pretty easy, from ngDialog controller I can do

$scope.closeThisDialog(dataToPassBack);

on the page controller

function openDialog() {
    $scope.dataToPassToDialog = myData;
    var dialog = ngDialog.open({
        template: 'template.html',
        className: 'ngdialog-theme-default',
        scope: $scope,
    });

    dialog.closePromise.then(function (data) {
        if (data && data.value && /*check if data.value is what you want*/) {
            var dataFromDialog = data.value;
        }
    });
}

create $scope.myDataFromDialog in your controller

and use it in the dialog

you can find an example in the documentation:

https://github.com/likeastore/ngDialog

$scope.value = true;

ngDialog.open({
    template: 'externalTemplate.html',
    className: 'ngdialog-theme-plain',
    scope: $scope
});

<script type="text/ng-template" id="externalTemplate.html">
<p>External scope: <code>{{value}}</code></p>
</script>
