This question already has an answer here:
I'd like to share the $scope functions of one controller in another controller, in this case for an AngularUI dialog.
Specifically in the example below, I'd like $scope.scopeVar to be available in PopupCtrl.
Resolve code based on mlarcher's comment here
main.js
angular.module('MyApp', ['ui.bootstrap']);
var MainCtrl = ['$scope', '$dialog', '$rootScope', function($scope, $dialog, $rootScope) {
$scope.myTestVar = "hello";
$scope.myOpts = {
backdrop: true,
keyboard: true,
backdropClick: true,
resolve: { MainCtrl: function() { return MainCtrl; }},
templateUrl: 'myPopup.html',
controller: 'PopupCtrl'
};
$scope.scopeVar = 'scope var string that should appear in both index.html and myPopup.html.';
$rootScope.rootScopeVar = "rootScope var string that should appear in both index.html and myPopup.html.";
$scope.openDialog = function() {
var d = $dialog.dialog($scope.myOpts);
d.open().then(function() {
$scope.scopeVar = 'scope var string should be changed after closing the popup the first time.';
$rootScope.rootScopeVar = 'rootScope var string should be changed after closing the popup the first time.';
});
};
}];
var PopupCtrl = ['$scope', 'dialog', 'MainCtrl', function ($scope, dialog, MainCtrl) {
var key;
for (key in MainCtrl) {
$scope[key] = MainCtrl[key];
}
$scope.close = function(){
dialog.close();
}
}];
