Passing a row of data from a table to a modal with Angular

I have a table that displays entries for a contest (pulled from a DB with PHP and converted to a .json object to be used with AngularJS and JavaScript). I also would like to implement a modal on it, so when the "judge" clicks on each entry, they can see the details of that entry. So basically, I need to pass a single row of data to that modal (a ui.bootstrap modal).

Here's the markup for the table with ALL data. The modal is applied to the ng-repeated :

<table class="submissions">

<tr class="tb-header">
<td>id</td>
<td>wa #</td>
<td>name</td>
<td>email</td>
<td>file</td>
<td>rating</td>
<td>submitted on</td></tr>

    <tr ng-click="open()" ng-repeat="row in rows track by $index">

        <td>{{ row.id }}</td>
        <td class="wa-num">{{ row.wa_num }}</td>
        <td>{{ row.name }}</td>
        <td>{{ row.email }}</td>
        <td id="submitted-file">{{ row.file }}</td>
        <td>{{ row.rating }}</td>
        <td>{{ row.submitted }}</td>

    </tr>


</table>

And here's the controller that controls that entire page AND the modal:

.controller('dashboard',['$scope', '$rootScope', '$location', '$modal', 'loginService', 'getEntries',
          function($scope, $rootScope, $location, $modal, loginService, getEntries){

          $scope.open = function () {

              var modalInstance = $modal.open({
                  templateUrl: '/partials/submission_mod.html',
                  controller: ['$scope', '$modalInstance', function($scope, $modalInstance){
                      $scope.modalInstance = $modalInstance;

                      $scope.cats = "Submission info goes here.";
                  }]
              });
          };

          var entries = getEntries.entries();

              entries.save(
                  function(result){
                      console.log(result);

                      //$scope.rows = [];
                      $scope.rows = result.entries;
                      console.log($scope.rows);


                  },
                  function(result) {
                      console.log(result);
                  }

              );
    }])

And here's the modal's markup (which is not pulling in anything at the moment for some reason, not even hardcoded "cats"):

<div class="modal-entry">{{ cats }}</div>
<button class="btn btn-primary btn-modal" ng-click="modalInstance.close()">Close</button>

Question being: how can I pass the data to that modal? How to target it so that it only pulls the row that's clicked on, etc?

Any guidance is highly appreciated.

The best way is to pass the row as a parameter to your modal function.

<tr ng-click="open(row)" ng-repeat="row in rows track by $index">
  ...
</tr>

And in your funcition, recive the row:

$scope.openModal = function (row) {
    var modalInstance = $modal.open({
        templateUrl: '/partials/submission_mod.html',
        controller: 'ModalCtrl',
        resolve: {
            cat: function () {
                return row;
            }
        }
    });
};

And then pass to your controller:

.controller('ModalCtrl', function ($scope, $modalInstance, cat) {
    $scope.cat = cat;
});

plinkr has some information on how to do that from the Angular Bootstrap Directives Docs

Something like this with resolve:

var modalInstance = $modal.open({
  templateUrl: 'myModalContent.html',
  controller: 'ModalInstanceCtrl',
  size: size,
  resolve: {
    items: function () {
      return $scope.items;
    }
  }
});
