When initialize my controller and page, I'll send some data to third party server. I have a button which triggers a modal. When user clicks the button, my controller is initialized again so the data is sent again. How to avoid it?
View:
View:
<button id="sendEmailButton" type='button'ng-click="sendEmail()"</button>
Controller:
$scope.sendEmail = function() {
$modal.open({
templateUrl: 'sendEmail.html'
});
}
```

Sample modals from ui-bootstrap documentation. As you can see modals get their own controller separate from the main view. This should solve your issue.
HTML
<div ng-controller="ModalDemoCtrl">
<script type="text/ng-template" id="myModalContent.html">
<div class="modal-header">
<h3 class="modal-title">I'm a modal!</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="item in items">
<a href="#" ng-click="$event.preventDefault(); selected.item = item">{{ item }}</a>
</li>
</ul>
Selected: <b>{{ selected.item }}</b>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" ng-click="ok()">OK</button>
<button class="btn btn-warning" type="button" ng-click="cancel()">Cancel</button>
</div>
</script>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" ng-click="open()">Open me!</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" ng-click="open('lg')">Large modal</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" ng-click="open('sm')">Small modal</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" ng-click="toggleAnimation()">Toggle Animation ({{ animationsEnabled }})</button>
<div ng-show="selected">Selection from a modal: {{ selected }}</div>
</div>
Javascript:
angular.module('ui.bootstrap.demo').controller('ModalDemoCtrl', function ($scope, $uibModal, $log) {
$scope.items = ['item1', 'item2', 'item3'];
$scope.animationsEnabled = true;
$scope.open = function (size) {
var modalInstance = $uibModal.open({
animation: $scope.animationsEnabled,
templateUrl: 'myModalContent.html',
controller: 'ModalInstanceCtrl',
size: size,
resolve: {
items: function () {
return $scope.items;
}
}
});
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 $uibModalInstance 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, items) {
$scope.items = items;
$scope.selected = {
item: $scope.items[0]
};
$scope.ok = function () {
$uibModalInstance.close($scope.selected.item);
};
$scope.cancel = function () {
$uibModalInstance.dismiss('cancel');
};
});
