Unknown provider: $modalProvider <- $modal error with AngularJS

Question

I keep receiving this error as I\'m trying to implement bootstrap Modal window. What could be the cause of it? I\'ve copy/pasted everything from http://angular-ui.github.io/

This kind of error occurs when you write in a dependency for a controller, service, etc, and you haven't created or included that dependency.

In this case, $modal isn't a known service. It sounds like you didn't pass in ui-bootstrap as a dependency when bootstrapping angular. angular.module('myModule', ['ui.bootstrap']); Also, be sure you are using the latest version of ui-bootstrap (0.6.0), just to be safe.

The error is thrown in version 0.5.0, but updating to 0.6.0 does make the $modal service available. So, update to version 0.6.0 and be sure to require ui.boostrap when registering your module.

Replying to your comment: This is how you inject a module dependency.

js:

// create the module, pass in modules it depends on
var app = angular.module('myApp', ['ui.bootstrap']);

// $modal service is now available via the ui.bootstrap module we passed in to our module
app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope, $uibModal) {

});

Update:

The $modal service has been renamed to $uibModal.

Example using $uibModal

// create the module, pass in modules it depends on
var app = angular.module('myApp', ['ui.bootstrap']);

// $modal service is now available via the ui.bootstrap module we passed in to our module
app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope, $uibModal) {
    //code here
});
