ModalService

ModalService

This service is responsible for instantiating a ModalDialog component and embedding the specified component within.

Signature
class ModalService {
constructor(overlayHostService: OverlayHostService)
fromComponent(component: Type<T> & Type<Dialog<R>>, options?: ModalOptions<T>) => Observable<R | undefined>;
dialog(config: DialogConfig<T>) => Observable<T | undefined>;
}

constructor

method
(overlayHostService: OverlayHostService) => ModalService

fromComponent

method
(component: Type<T> & Type<Dialog<R>>, options?: ModalOptions<T>) => Observable<R | undefined>

Create a modal from a component. The component must implement the Dialog interface. Additionally, the component should include templates for the title and the buttons to be displayed in the modal dialog. See example:

Example

class MyDialog implements Dialog {
resolveWith: (result?: any) => void;

okay() {
doSomeWork().subscribe(result => {
this.resolveWith(result);
})
}

cancel() {
this.resolveWith(false);
}
}

Example

<ng-template vdrDialogTitle>Title of the modal</ng-template>

<p>
My Content
</p>

<ng-template vdrDialogButtons>
<button type="button"
class="btn"
(click)="cancel()">Cancel</button>
<button type="button"
class="btn btn-primary"
(click)="okay()">Okay</button>
</ng-template>

dialog

method
(config: DialogConfig<T>) => Observable<T | undefined>

Displays a modal dialog with the provided title, body and buttons.

Dialog

Any component intended to be used with the ModalService.fromComponent() method must implement this interface.

Signature
interface Dialog<R = any> {
resolveWith: (result?: R) => void;
}

resolveWith

property
(result?: R) => void

Function to be invoked in order to close the dialog when the action is complete. The Observable returned from the .fromComponent() method will emit the value passed to this method and then complete.

DialogConfig

Configures a generic modal dialog.

Signature
interface DialogConfig<T> {
title: string;
body?: string;
translationVars?: { [key: string]: string | number };
buttons: Array<DialogButtonConfig<T>>;
size?: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg' | 'xl';
}

}
