// How to pass data to modal ngx-bootstrap ???

confirm-popup.component.ts

import { Component, Input } from '@angular/core';
import { BsModalService } from 'ngx-bootstrap/modal';
import { BsModalRef } from 'ngx-bootstrap/modal/modal-options.class';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-confirm',
  templateUrl: `
    <div class="modal-header">
      <h4 class="modal-title pull-left">{{title}}</h4>
      <button type="button" class="close pull-right" aria-label="Close" (click)="bsModalRef.hide()">
        <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
      </button>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-body">
      {{message}}
    </div>
    <div class="modal-footer">
      <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" (click)="bsModalRef.hide()" translate="cancel"></button>
      <button type="button" class="btn btn-success" (click)="clickOk()" translate="ok"></button>
    </div>`,
  providers: [BsModalService]
})

export class ConfirmPopupComponent {
  @Input() title: string = 'Modal with component';
  @Input() message: string = 'Message here...';

  constructor(public bsModalRef: BsModalRef) { }

  public clickOk() {
    console.log("Click ok...");
  }
}

helper.service.ts

import { BsModalService } from 'ngx-bootstrap/modal';
import { BsModalRef } from 'ngx-bootstrap/modal/modal-options.class';
import { ConfirmPopupComponent } from '../../../shared/confirm-popup/confirm-popup.component';

export class HelperService {
  constructor(private modalService: BsModalService) {
  }
  showConfirm(title?: string, message?: string) {
       let bsModalRef = this.modalService.show(ConfirmPopupComponent, { animated: true, keyboard: true, backdrop: true, ignoreBackdropClick: false });
       console.log("bsModalRef: ", bsModalRef);
  }
}

sign-in.component.ts

showConfirm() {
    this.helper.showConfirm("Confirmation", "How to pass data to modal?");
}

"Confirmation" and "How to pass data to modal?" not show in modal. How to show...???

[mpeguero]

on Parent component
import { Modal, BSModalContext } from 'ngx-modialog/plugins/bootstrap'; import { overlayConfigFactory } from 'ngx-modialog';

var dataObject = {data1: "ba vbal", data2 :"bla bla"}; this.modal.open(urmodalCpmponent, overlayConfigFactory({data: dataObject}, BSModalContext))
on Model Component
import { DialogRef } from 'ngx-modialog';

constructor(public dialogRef: DialogRef){
let context:any = dialogRef.context;
this.detail = context.data'
}

@tranminhphong0108 I don't understand your example of the modal service. Your helper.service.ts has two parameters title and message but then never does anything with either of the parameters. So how does that data actually get to the ConfirmPopupComponent?

The examples on https://valor-software.com/ngx-bootstrap/#/modals have the same problem.

[belalothman]

@MgSam did you find any solution for this problem?

[zymr-keshav]

pass data with initialState params

const initialState = { message, title };

		let bsModalRef = this.modalService.show(ConfirmPopupComponent, Object.assign({}, this.modalConfig, { class: 'modal-sm', initialState })
		);

note: there would be template instead of templateUrl in your code @tranminhphong0108

How does this help me receive information back from the calling component? I'm looking for an example of where a modal is called from one component, performs an operation (like add an item) and then the calling component is informed of the add and can then perform operations as needed. Seems like something that is a quite common need.

[zymr-keshav]

here is how you send information back to parent component ( calling component)

1. create a EventEmitter on confirmPopupComponent

	@Output() action = new EventEmitter();

2. now on click ok button emit the output from confirmPopupComponent

      public clickOk() {
		this.loading = true;
		this.action.emit(true); << here you can send object  instead of true
	}

3. now from calling component ( i.e. parent component) you can get this way

here key action will be same as Outout emit

let bsModalRef = this.modalService.show(..);
bsModalRef.content.action.take(1).subscribe((value) => {
		console.log(value) // here you will get the value
		});

hope it will help

[jose-torres-marin]

@zymr-keshav Awesome. That should really be part of the official docs.

[BBaysinger]

How does the component receive the parameters?

[zymr-keshav]

set @Input() parameter in the popup component to access the property in initialState

for eg:
in Parent Component

const initialState = { message: 'popup message', title:'popup title'};
let bsModalRef = this.modalService.show(ConfirmPopupComponent, Object.assign({}, this.modalConfig, { class: 'modal-sm', initialState })

in confirmPopupComponent

@Input() message: string = 'Message here...'; // we can set the default value also
@Input() title: string = 'default title';

[stiofand]

Sorry, but I have exactly the same issue, and its not clear at all from the docs, (or above how one uses the initial state property in the component that is passed to the Dialog show event.

I pass in an object with properties I need (initialState) along with my component I wish to show. However, there is nothing I can do to reference anything in that component from initial state. I still cant figure it out from your solutions above either.

[zymr-keshav]

you can pass any data from initialState property only, that is fixed name of the property.

[stiofand]

you can pass any data from initialState property only, that is fixed name of the property.

Yes, this is what the docs say, but even in the example given with the documentation, initialState or any named property of initialState is always null.

I think the handling of modals in ngx-bootstrap could be much improved ... i understand that i can put my own eventemitters on my modal component to signal return values, but what about when the user exits the dialog via the ESC key of by clicking outside of the dialog bounds? I then have to combine my custom eventemitters with those exposed on the BsModalService. I think it would make more sense if the OnShow/OnShown/... events were put on the BsModalRef instead of the global service ...

[marcosdimitrio]

To help with the issue of pressing the ESC key or clicking outside the dialog box and still receiving a result, I wrote a question/answer on StackOverflow with code that handles it. It's explained there, so I won't repost it here, check it out:

const initialState = { message: 'popup message', title:'popup title'}; let bsModalRef = this.modalService.show(ConfirmPopupComponent, Object.assign({}, this.modalConfig, { class: 'modal-sm', initialState })
This is not working for me. I am getting an empty dialog box.
I am using it in a function. Like:
somefunction(popupMessage, popupTitle){ const initialState = { message:popupMessage, title: popupTitle }; this.modalService.show(ConfirmPopupComponent, Object.assign({}, this.modalConfig, { class: 'modal-sm', initialState });

[Parnianmhr]

@marcosdimitrio Your answer is perfect, thanks. But how should I return a Boolean instead of string to use it in my canDeactivate guard function? Any Idea?

[zymr-keshav]

currently returning a boolean actually, check this.action.emit(true);

[subhanBashaa]

Thanks a lot, Its worked for me

[shakalya195]

I am assigning the end result of events model at this.data and recieving data to its parent listing component by subscribing the modelService.onHide event.
This was regenerating each time i closes the model like at fifth time the subscription will be show 5 time. so i put unsubscribe right after reading.
This works perfect from me.

I am creating an event in addEvents model.
Hitting the API and getting the success event model updated on this.data.
On closing the model my subscription works and it updates the my current listing page.

  addEvent(){
    this.bsModalRef = this.modalService.show(AddEventComponent, {});
    let newSubscriber = this.modalService.onHide.subscribe(r=>{
      newSubscriber.unsubscribe();
      console.log('DATA',this.bsModalRef.content.data);
    });
  }

passing data to the component is fine. The real problem people are looking for is receiving data back from the modalComponent

[popsovy]

Couldn't you use the initialState to create a callback method. Similar how it's done here.

[ghost]

In your Service, create this function

openConfirmDialogBox() {
        this.modalRef = this.modalService.show(DemoModalComponent);
        this.modalRef.content.action.take(1)
            .subscribe((value) => {
                console.log(value) // here value passed on clicking ok will be printed in console. Here true will be printed if OK is clicked
                return value;
             }, (err) => {
                 return false;
        });
    }

then in your demo-modal.component.ts create an EventEmitter

 @Output() action = new EventEmitter();
 public onClickOK() {
    this.action.emit(true); //Can send your required data here instead of true
 }
 public onClickCANCEL() {
    this.action.emit(false); //Can send your required data here instead of true
 }

Thank you very much for your code, I tried it and returned the following error:

Uncaught Error: Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: bsModalRef.content.sendToLocateParent.take is not a function

It seems that the Error is caused by an asynchronous call(toPromise),I must get the result of getDisklight() function first and then show the modal,how can i deal with this?

Finally, I used the following code above, it works for me, but I still wonder why the above code go wrong?thank you very much!
here is my codes:

  async LocateDiskAction(lightState) {
    this.clickModal = true  // set click action to true
    let lightDisk = await this.getDisklight(lightState)
    let initialState = {
      lightDisk: lightDisk,
      action: lightState,
      hostName: this.hostName,
    };
    let modalConfig = { animated: true, keyboard: true, backdrop: true, ignoreBackdropClick: false }
    let bsModalRef = this.modalService.show(DiskLocateModalComponent,
      Object.assign({}, modalConfig, {initialState
      })
    );
   bsModalRef.content.sendToLocateParent.take(1).subscribe((value) => {
     console.log(value, '--------------------') // here i get the error instead the value
    });
  }

getDisklight(diskSignal) {
    return this.client.get(`api/disk/${this.hostName}?disk_status=${diskSignal}`).toPromise();
  }

What is this.modalConfig ? or how to set value of this.modalConfig ?

This works, but remove take(1) . At least that is what worked for me

[HimalPant]

pass data with initialState params

const initialState = { message, title };

		);

What do we use .show(ConfirmPopupComponent,...), what is the use of this ConfirmPopupComponent ??

[anurag-roy]

Does anyone know how I can pass initialData and access it if using a template instead of a component?
