Trigger modal on form ngsubmit?

I have an input and a button inside a form.

I want to type in the input and hit enter, submitting the input content and triggering a modal to open, displaying the results. I don't have any idea how to trigger a modal on ng-submit without getting custom/hacky. Is there an understood method for doing it?

Currently:

<form>
    <div ng-show="thirdPhase" class="input-group animated fadeIn">
        <input type="text" class="form-control finderBar" placeholder="City, State..." autofocus>
        <span class="input-group-btn">
            <button data-toggle="modal" data-target="#searchModal" class="btn btn-default" type="button">Go!</button>
        </span>
    </div>
</form>

And Modal:

<div class="modal fade" id="searchModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel">
  <div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span></button>
        <h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Search Results</h4>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
        TEST SEARCH MODAL
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

I've tried putting the typical modal trigger attributes in the form element, but that simply triggers the modal as soon as you click on the input inside the form.

As mentioned in the comments, it's the best to use angular-ui-bootstrap.

Then you can create a factory for creating your modal and you can open the result modal from a method of your first modalInstanceController.

The factory in the demo is very basic and could be improved e.g. passing the controller name with the params to avoid the hard-coded controller name.

Please have a look at the demo below or in this jsfiddle.

angular.module('ui.bootstrap.demo', ['ui.bootstrap'])
  .factory('modalFactory', function($uibModal) {
    return {
      open: function(size, template, params) {
        return $uibModal.open({
          animation: true,
          templateUrl: template || 'myModalContent.html',
          controller: 'ModalResultInstanceCtrl',
          size: size,
          resolve: {
            params: function() {
              return params;
            }
          }
        });
      }
    };
  })
  .controller('ModalDemoCtrl', function($rootScope, $scope, $log, $uibModal) {

    //$scope.items = ['item1', 'item2', 'item3'];

    //$scope.animationsEnabled = true;

    $scope.open = function(size, template) {
      var modalInstance = $uibModal.open({
          animation: $scope.animationsEnabled,
          templateUrl: template || 'myModalContent.html',
          controller: 'ModalInstanceCtrl',
          size: size
        });

      /*modalInstance.result.then(function(selectedItem) {
        $scope.selected = selectedItem;
      }, function() {
        $log.info('Modal dismissed at: ' + new Date());
      });*/
    };

    $scope.toggleAnimation = function() {
      $scope.animationsEnabled = !$scope.animationsEnabled;
    };

  });

// Please note that $modalInstance represents a modal window (instance) dependency.
// It is not the same as the $uibModal service used above.

angular.module('ui.bootstrap.demo').controller('ModalInstanceCtrl', function($scope, $uibModalInstance, modalFactory) {

  //$scope.searchTerm = term;

  $scope.ok = function() {
    modalFactory.open('lg', 'result.html', {searchTerm: $scope.searchTerm});
    //$uibModalInstance.close($scope.searchTerm);
  };

  $scope.cancel = function() {
    $uibModalInstance.dismiss('cancel');
  };
});

angular.module('ui.bootstrap.demo').controller('ModalResultInstanceCtrl', function($scope, $uibModalInstance, params) {

  $scope.searchTerm = params.searchTerm;

  $scope.ok = function() {
    $uibModalInstance.close($scope.searchTerm);
  };

  $scope.cancel = function() {
    $uibModalInstance.dismiss('cancel');
  };
})

So assuming you dont want a special button for modal to pop up from, and just ngSubmit to lead the way(and without getting hacky), you need to modify your html to something like this,

    <div ng-controller="whateverYouWant" data-target="#searchModal" data-toggle="modal">
        <form ng-submit="submit()">
            <div ng-show="thirdPhase" class="input-group animated fadeIn">
                <input type="text" class="form-control 
finderBar" placeholder="City, State..." autofocus>
                <span class="input-group-btn">
                </span>
            </div>
        </form>
    </div>

Notice i removed <button> from HTML and put data-target and data-modal in <div> that has ng-controller.

Finally modify your script to something like this : 

$scope.submit = function (){
 .
 . 
 .
 $('#searchModal').modal('show');
}

With this ,when the ng-submit finishes its task it automatically initializes the modal and you can use ng-modal to bind the data.

Here in below example, I have created my own modal directive.

HTML:

<div ng-controller="MainCtrl" class="container">
    <h1>Modal example</h1>
    <form ng-submit="toggleModal()">
        <div class="input-group animated fadeIn">
            <input type="text" class="form-control finderBar" placeholder="City, State..." autofocus>
            <span class="input-group-btn">
                <button class="btn btn-default" type="submit">Go!</button>
            </span>
        </div>
    </form>

    <modal title="Search Results" visible="showModal">
        TEST SEARCH MODAL
    </modal>
</div>

JS:

var mymodal = angular.module('mymodal', []);

mymodal.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope) {
    $scope.showModal = false;
    $scope.toggleModal = function(){
        $scope.showModal = !$scope.showModal;
    };
});

mymodal.directive('modal', function () {
    return {
      template: '<div class="modal fade">' + 
          '<div class="modal-dialog">' + 
            '<div class="modal-content">' + 
              '<div class="modal-header">' + 
                '<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">&times;</button>' + 
                '<h4 class="modal-title">{{ title }}</h4>' + 
              '</div>' + 
              '<div class="modal-body" ng-transclude></div>' + 
            '</div>' + 
          '</div>' + 
        '</div>',
      restrict: 'E',
      transclude: true,
      replace:true,
      scope:true,
      link: function postLink(scope, element, attrs) {
        scope.title = attrs.title;

        scope.$watch(attrs.visible, function(value){
          if(value == true)
            $(element).modal('show');
          else
            $(element).modal('hide');
        });

        $(element).on('shown.bs.modal', function(){
          scope.$apply(function(){
            scope.$parent[attrs.visible] = true;
          });
        });

        $(element).on('hidden.bs.modal', function(){
          scope.$apply(function(){
            scope.$parent[attrs.visible] = false;
          });
        });
      }
    };
});

You can use ui-bootstrap as well as @Pankaj Parkar suggested.
