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

Not sure If I understood correctly, but I got it working by passing/injecting the current 'controllerAs' in the resolve parameter

var modalInstance = $uibModal.open({
      templateUrl: 'addEditModal.html',
      controller: 'AudioItemAddEditCtrl as vm',
      resolve: {
        parent: function(){
            return vm
        }
    }
    });

And then, in the AudioItemAddEditCtrl...

var AudioItemAddEditCtrl = function(parent, AudioItemService, $ModalInstance) {
...
}

Then I'm able to use 'parent' to access the parent controller scope directly.

Hope this helps someone else.
