ngx-modal-dialog
Dynamic modal dialog for Angular that does not sit on DOM waiting to be triggered, but rather gets injected upon need.
Made with Bootstrap 4 styles in mind, but configurable to any framework or custom set of styles. Simple demo can be found here.
This documentation is for version 3.x.x and Angular 6+. If you are using older version of Angular (v2-v5) please use previous version.

Installation
npm install --save ngx-modal-dialog
How it works
Modal dialog uses ComponentFactoryResolver
to inject the given child component to the dialog.
ModalDialogService makes sure that only one instance of a modal dialog is opened at a time.
With IModalDialogOptions you can define which component will be rendered inside the dialog and configure it based on your needs.
You can further use action buttons to control modal dialog from external component or child component. If action performed on button click is successful, modal dialog will close. Otherwise it will alert user.
Styles and visuals
Ngx-modal-dialog
is intended to be used with Bootstrap 4, however you can apply your custom styles from your desired UI framework by providing class names in IModalDialogSettings.
Usage
- Include the
ngx-modal
module in your application at any place. The recommended way is to addforRoot
initialization in the main app module.
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { ModalDialogModule } from 'ngx-modal-dialog';
@NgModule({
imports: [
BrowserModule,
ModalDialogModule.forRoot()
],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
- Create a custom component that implements
IModalDialog
or use theSimpleModalDialog
as a child component.
Custom component should be inserted into both declarations
and entryComponents
in the NgModule they are part of. entryComponents
has to be used since component is dynamically inserted onto the page and Angular is not aware of it.
- Inject the
ModalDialogService
where you want to open the dialog. CallopenDialog
passing parentViewContainerRef
and partialIModalDialogOptions
object:
constructor(modalService: ModalDialogService, viewRef: ViewContainerRef) { }
openNewDialog() {
this.modalService.openDialog(this.viewRef, {
title: 'Some modal title',
childComponent: SimpleModalComponent
});
}
- Arbitrary define
actionButtons
in modal dialog options or child component to control modal dialog.
class MyModalComponent implements IModalDialog {
actionButtons: IModalDialogButton[];
constructor() {
this.actionButtons = [
{ text: 'Close' }, // no special processing here
{ text: 'I will always close', onAction: () => true },
{ text: 'I never close', onAction: () => false }
];
}
dialogInit(reference: ComponentRef<IModalDialog>, options: Partial<IModalDialogOptions<any>>) {
// no processing needed
}
}
Action button can be of two types:
- with return value
Used for controlling the dialog life.
If value istruthful
(true, successful Promise or Observable) than it will close the dialog
If value isfalsy
(false, rejected Promise or failed Observable) it will trigger alert style and not close the dialog. - without return value
Has no direct effect on dialog. Can be used to trigger some arbitrary functionality (e.g. copy values to clipboard)
API
ModalDialogService
Methods:
openDialog(target: ViewContainerRef, options: Partial<IModalDialogOptions<T>> = {})
: Closes existing and opens a new modal dialog according to IModalDialogOptions.T
represents a type of optionsdata
field. If you don't care about strong typing just passany
.
IModalDialog
Every component that is used as modal dialog must implement IModalDialog
.
Methods:
dialogInit(reference: ComponentRef<IModalDialog>, options: Partial<IModalDialogOptions<any>>) => void
Mandatory:true
Default: - This method is called after initialization of child component. Purpose of the method is to pass necessary information from outer scope to child component.
Properties:
actionButtons
Mandatory:false
Default: - Type:string
Modal heading text
IModalDialogOptions
Interface:
interface IModalDialogOptions<T> {
title: string;
childComponent: IModalDialog;
onClose: ModalDialogOnAction;
actionButtons: IModalDialogButton[];
data: T;
placeOnTop: boolean;
settings: IModalDialogSettings;
closeDialogSubject: Subject<void>;
}
This is generic interface, where T
is arbitrary type of data
section.
Interface details:
title:
string
Modal heading textchildComponent:
any
Component type that will be rendered as a content of modal dialog. Component must implementIModalDialog
interface.onClose():
ModalDialogOnAction
Function to be called on close button click. In case of Promise and Observable, modal dialog will not close unless successful resolve happens. In case of boolean, modal dialog will close only if result istruthful
.actionButtons:
Array<IModalDialogButton>
Footer action buttons for control of modal dialog. See IModalDialogButton. Action buttons defined in child component have priority over action buttons defined via options. Action buttons close the modal dialog upon successful operation.data:
T
Arbitrary data that will be passed to child component viadialogInit
method.placeOnTop:
boolean
Flag stating whether opening the modal dialog should close all the other modal dialogs, or modal should be rendered on top of existing ones.settings:
IModalDialogSettings
Additional settings for granular configuration of modal dialog. See IModalDialogSettings.closeDialogSubject:
Subject<void>
Custom modal closing subject. Can be used to manually trigger modal dialog close from within the child component.
IModalDialogButton
Interface:
interface IModalDialogButton {
text: string;
buttonClass?: string;
onAction?: ModalDialogOnAction;
}
Interface details:
- text:
string
Caption/text on the button - buttonClass:
string
Default:btn btn-primary
Class name of button - onAction():
Promise<any> | Observable<any> | boolean
Function to be called on button click. In case of Promise and Observable, modal dialog will not close unless successful resolve happens. In case of boolean, modal dialog will close only if result istruthful
.
ModalDialogOnAction type
type ModalDialogOnAction = () => Promise<any> | Observable<any> | boolean | void;
Function returning Promise, Observable, boolean or no value. Modal dialog will close automatically if return of action is:
- Promise, once promise gets resolved
- Observable, once observable successfully finishes
- boolean and value is
true
Action button will initiate alert behavior if return is:
- Promise, once promise gets rejected
- Observable, once observable fails or throws error
- boolean and value is
false
If action button returns void
, there are no side effects.
