Pass current scope to modalInstance when using controllerAs syntax

Question

I\'m using controllerAs syntax to avoid a $scope soup in my controllers, and also using ui.bootstrap to present a modal view.

I need to open a modalInstace that sh

Answer 1

I need to open a modalInstace that shares the same scope as the current controller.

Modal service creates inherited scope. And

var modalInstance = $uibModal.open({
  templateUrl: 'addEditModal.html',
  scope: $scope
});

does not inject the scope but specifies parent scope for modal controller (otherwise root scope will be used as the parent).

Since controllerAs was used on parent controller, modal controller will have access to inherited vm object on its scope.
