Customization

Content

• The modal has 3 parts, driven by ng-templates: modalHeading, modalBody and modalActions. You can pass content to any of them in the following way:

<ng-generic-modal #modalReference>
	<ng-template #modalHeading>
		This is the heading
	</ng-template>

	<ng-template #modalBody>
		This is the modal body
	</ng-template>

	<ng-template #modalActions>
		<button>This is an action</button>
		<button>And this is another action</button>
	</ng-template>
</ng-generic-modal>

Opening and hiding

• Given modalReference a reference to the modal element, method modalReference.open() will open the popup.
• To hide the modal, it's enough to call modalReference.hide().
• To rely less on method calling, the modal-close directive allows picking one or more elements inside the modal templates that close the modal when clicked. Example:

<ng-generic-modal #modalReference>
	<ng-template #modalActions>
		<button modal-close (click)="myMethod()">Submit</button>
		<button modal-close>Cancel</button>
		<button>Options</button>
	</ng-template>
</ng-generic-modal>

In the above example, the Close button will just hide the modal, while the Submit button will run myMethod() and then hide the modal. The Options button will not hide the modal, as it doesn't have modal-close attached.

• NOTE: open method can receive a state of the modal (which can be any object or primitive value). That value can be accessed within the modal ng-templates by simply targeting the data variable:

<ng-generic-modal #modalReference>
	<ng-template #modalHeading let-data="data">  // Pass the variable to the template
		This is my name: {{data}}
	</ng-template>
</ng-generic-modal>

data can be accessed at any time, but it's pointless unless there's anything passed to .open(state)

data variable does NOT keep its value between popup sessions (gets erased on each .hide())
