Answer 1

If anyone is using ngRoute, waiting on resolve before loading the next view, and using angular-bootstrap-ui for ui, you can do the following:

app.config([
  "$routeProvider", "$locationProvider", function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
    return $routeProvider.when("/seasons/:seasonId", {
      templateUrl: "season-manage.html",
      controller: "SeasonManageController",
      resolve: {
        season: [
          "$route", "$q", "$http", "$modal", function($route, $q, $http, $modal) {
            var modal, promise, seasonId;
            modal = $modal.open({
              backdrop: "static",
              template: "
\n  
\n    
\n      Loading...\n    
\n  
\n  
\n    \n    \n  
\n
",
              keyboard: false,
              size: "lg"
            });
            promise = $q.defer();
            seasonId = $route.current.params.seasonId;
            $http.get("/api/match/seasons/" + seasonId).success(function(data) {
              modal.close();
              promise.resolve(data);
            }).error(function(data) {
              modal.close();
              promise.reject(data);
            });

            return promise.promise;
          }
        ]
      }
    });
  }
]);
