Open Modal Programmatically

Topic: Open Modal Programmatically

Sam Mallabone free asked 6 years ago

Hi, I am currently running into a problem when trying to open a mdb-modal programmatically.I have a function that is checking to see if all the entered input by a user is correct, and if it is a success modal will be shown. Otherwise, an error modal will be shown that will notify the user that they have entered invalid information. Is there any way to do this programmatically? I have already tried making hidden buttons that call the show() method but this did not work.Thanks

Dear xzesstence, Sorry to hear that you encountered problems using MDB. We are constantly working on improving our components to suit the needs of our clients. We are already aware of the problems with creating dynamic and reusable modal, but unfortunately they have not been fixed yet. To use such functionality you would need to create your own service. I described how to do that here: Calling modal from another component Regards, Arek

Do you have an eta for when dynamic and reusable modals are available? This is a quite critical feature for bootstrap applications. We use active modals heavily in several projects..

It should be available in next version (December 10).

Oh wow that was a long story.. I was trying to create a simple Modal Module i can simply reuse.. I always got 'show' of undefined or something..

This is my working code, the important step here is to use the @ViewChild and to declare inside your modal component @Component with exportAs: 'child

Edit: Wow, why is this Code function breaking the code?? every free site works better! MDB should learn from free angular goodies like Primeng.. both thumbs down!
This is not a good customer experience here!

Dear Sam,

You have to import ModalDirective, and in ViewChild you have to pick your modal ID and bind it to ModalDirective type.

Here's the code:

.html:
<div>
<pre><button type="button" class="btn btn-primary relative waves-light" (click)="showModal()" mdbRippleRadius>Launch demo modal</button>

<spanaria-hidden="true">×</span>

</button>

<h4 class="modal-title w-100" id="myModalLabel">Modal title</h4>

</div>

...

</div>

<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary waves-light" aria-label="Close" (click)="basicModal.hide()" mdbRippleRadius>Close</button>

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary relative waves-light"mdbRippleRadius>Save changes</button>

</div>

</div></pre>
</div>
.ts:
<div>
<pre>import { Component, OnInit, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';

import { ModalDirective } from 'ng-mdb-pro/free/modals/modal.directive';

@Component({

selector:'app-root',

templateUrl:'./app.component.html',

styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']

})

export class AppComponent implements OnInit {

@ViewChild('basicModal') public showModalOnClick: ModalDirective;

public showModal():void {

this.showModalOnClick.show();

}

ngOnInit() {

}

}</pre>
</div>
Try it and let me know, if it is what you want to use.

Best Regards,

Damian
