Using AngularJS here.
I am working on a UI which has a dropdown. Based on what the user selects I show 2 tabs to the user.
Each tab data is returned from a service which just returns an array of data (string).
Against each string value returned I show a button against it. When you click the button it opens a modal popup where the user can select some data. When they close the modal I return the data back to the controller.
The normal flow of binding data to tab, opening modal and returning data from modal all works fine.
What I am not able to understand or design is how to bind the returned data against the button or row which it was clicked from
For example as below:
Tab1
String1 - Button1
String2 - Button2
String3 - Button3
If I open the modal by clicking button1, how do I find out button1 was pressed and bind back data that was returned from its modal.
Some of the relevant code as below:
<div id="params" ng-if="type.selected">
<tabset class="tabbable-line">
<tab heading="Sets" ng-if="sets" active="tab.set">
<div class="form-group m-grid-col-md-8 param" style="margin-top:5px"
ng-repeat="set in sets" >
<label class="control-label col-md-3 param-label">{{set}}
</label>
<button ng-click="openModal()" class="btn btn-info btn-sm">
Select
</button>
</div>
</tab>
<tab heading="Tables" ng-if="tables" active="tab.table">
<div class="form-group m-grid-col-md-8 param"
ng-repeat="table in tables">
<label class="control-label col-md-3 param-label">{{table}}
</label>
<button ng-click="openModal()" class="btn btn-info btn-sm">
Select
</button>
</div>
</tab>
</tabset>
</div>
Controller:
$scope.onChangeType = function (selectedValue) {
$scope.getData(selectedValue);
};
$scope.getData = function (selectedValue) {
//Commenting out the service part for now and hardcoding array
// service.getData(selectedValue).then(function (res) {
$scope.sets = ['Set1', 'Set2', 'Set3'];
$scope.tables = ['Table1', 'Table2'];
// });
};
$scope.openModal = function () {
myFactory.defineModal().then(function (response) {
//how to bind data from response
});
};
I have created a plnkr for this sample as: http://plnkr.co/edit/vqtQsJP1dqGnRA6s?preview
--Edited--
<div class="form-group m-grid-col-md-8 param" ng-repeat="table in tables">
<label class="control-label col-md-3 param-label">{{table}}
</label>
<button ng-click="openModal(table)" class="btn btn-info btn-sm">
Select
</button>
<span>
{{table.utype}}
</span>
</div>
Pass the table object as an argument to the openModal function:
<button ng-click="openModal(table)">Select</button>
Use it in the openModal function:
$scope.openModal = function (table) {
myFactory.defineModal().then(function (result) {
table.utype = result.utype;
table.minvalue = result.minvalue;
});
};
Be sure to close the modal with the result:
$scope.ok = function () {
var result = {
utype: $scope.utype,
minvalue: $scope.minvalue,
};
$modalInstance.close(result);
};
Keep in mind that modals are considered disruptive and are despised by user.
Generally speaking, disruptions and distractions negatively affect human performance, a common finding in cognitive psychology. Many studies have shown that distraction greatly increases task time on a wide variety of tasks.

While I dont get any error not but I dont get the text returned.
Be sure to furnish objects to the ng-repeat:
$scope.getData = function (selectedValue) {
//Commenting out the service part for now and hardcoding array
// service.getData(selectedValue).then(function (res) {
̶$̶s̶c̶o̶p̶e̶.̶t̶a̶b̶l̶e̶s̶ ̶=̶ ̶[̶'̶T̶a̶b̶l̶e̶1̶'̶,̶'̶T̶a̶b̶l̶e̶2̶'̶]̶;̶
$scope.tables = [
{name:'Table1',},
{name:'Table2',},
];
// });
};
