How to close bootstrap modal window from angularjs

Question

I am using modal window for the upload of images. But when click on upload I want to upload the images and then close the modal window. When I used data-dismiss="modal" as attribute in button it just closed the window and did nothing else. So I found some options how to close it but everything was with the help of Jquery e.g.: $('#my-modal').modal('hide'); but I am using angular and try to do it in controller but I did not succeeded. I also try these answers Closing Bootstrap modal onclick but with no luck.

Finally I did it this way:

document.getElementById('fileUpload').value = null;
var dialog = document.getElementById('complete-dialog');
dialog.style.display = 'none';
dialog.className = 'modal fade';
dialog.setAttribute('aria-hidden', 'true');
dialog.removeChild(dialog.firstChild);

and it closes modal window but then I cannot scroll on my web page. I have no idea how to do it better.

Can anybody help me to figure it out how to close the modal window from angularjs or at least how can I use jquery inside of angularjs?

EDIT: HTML where I open modal window:

<div class="image col-lg-2 col-lg-offset-2 col-md-3 col-md-offset-1 col-sm-3 col-sm-offset-1">
<button class="btn btn-fab btn-raised btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#complete-dialog"><i class="mdi-image-edit"></i></button>
</div>

HTML modal window:

<div id="complete-dialog" class="modal fade" tabindex="-1">
        <div id="test-dialog" class="modal-dialog">
            <div class="modal-content">
                <div class="modal-header">
                    <button type="button" class="close close-btn" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
                    <h4 class="modal-title" style="color: black;">Upload profile picture</h4>
                </div>

                <div class="modal-body" style="color: black;">
                    <form name="userForm" data-ng-submit="profile.uploadImageToServer()" autocomplete="off">
                        <div class="form-group">
                            <!--<label for="fileUpload">Profile image</label>-->
                            <input type="file" name="fileUpload" id="fileUpload" onchange="angular.element(this).scope().uploadImg(this.files)">
                        </div>
                        <div class="text-center form-group">
                            <button id="submit-btn" type="submit" class="btn btn-large btn-primary">Upload Image</button>
                        </div>
                    </form>

                </div>
                <!--<div class="modal-footer">-->
                <!--</div>-->
                </form>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

Angular controller:

me.uploadImageToServer = function(){
            console.log('uploading');
            console.log($scope.file);
            var fd = new FormData();
            //Take the first selected file
            fd.append('file', $scope.file[0]);

            if($scope.file.length>0) {

                me.user.image = '/img/'+ me.user._id + (($scope.file[0].type.indexOf('png') > -1) ? '.png' : '.jpg');
                User.update(me.user, function(response){
                    AuthenticationState.user = response.data;
                }, function(response){
                    console.log(response);
                });

                User.uploadImage(fd, function (response) {
                    console.log(response);
                    me.user.image = me.user.image + '?time=' + new Date().getTime();
                    AuthenticationState.user.image = me.user.image;
                    document.getElementById('fileUpload').value = null;
                    //var dialog = document.getElementById('complete-dialog');
                    //dialog.style.display = 'none';
                    //dialog.className = 'modal fade';
                    //dialog.setAttribute('aria-hidden', 'true');
                    //dialog.removeChild(dialog.firstChild);
                    $scope.$close(me.file);
                    me.file = [];
                }, function (response) {
                    console.log(response);
                    me.file = [];
                });
            }
        };

Answer 1

<div class="{{model_show?'model fade content':'modal-content'}}" role="model"><br><button ng-click="model_show = 1" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>

just put condition for class and when click on close button change model_show=1 thats it

Answer 2

Finally I resolved my problem by invoking the click event on close button which did data-dismiss="modal" and closed the modal dialog.

Answer 3

You haven't really shown how your app is structured, but from the ui-bootstrap documentation:

The open method returns a modal instance, an object with the following properties:

close(result) - a method that can be used to close a modal, passing a result

In addition the scope associated with modal's content is augmented with 2 methods:

$close(result)

Probably the latter is the one you want to use, so you would have something like this when you click the upload button:

<button ng-click="uploadAndClose()"> Upload </button>

Controller:

$scope.uploadAndClose = function() {
  // your upload code, e.g.:
  $upload($scope.file);
  // This line closes the modal.
  $scope.$close($scope.file);
}

After your edits:

It looks to me like you are trying to use bootstrap in its 'vanilla' form rather than using the excellent ui-bootstrap module. This will be very awkward and is outside the scope of a single stackoverflow question.

More importantly, though, it shows you don't have a good understanding of angular - angular is excellent for creating re-useable components, and leveraging bootstrap or jquery plugins is very rarely a good idea.

I suggest improving your knowledge of angular, particularly the fundamental concepts of directives and services. I highly recommend following the thinkster.io course on the subject.
