I have a html table that contains an ng repeat directive and two button.The first one will open a modal that contains a new form and let me create my user and then when i click save it will add it to the list.The second one is in the same original form and do the add a user.
What i did not understand why when i click on the first button which is in a different form i can not update the ng repeat however for the second one it's possible. This is the code:
homepage.jsp
<body ng-app="myApp">
<div class="generic-container" ng-controller="UserController as ctrl">
<div id="createUserContent.jsp" ng-include="createUserContent"></div>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary"
ng-click="ctrl.openCreateUser()">Create</button>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table class="table table-hover">

<th width="20%"></th>

Reset to default 15 +100Because of your modal template can't access your UserController object and doesn't show error because you used in modal template same controller so reloaded as new Ctrl doesn't refer parent Ctrl.
However better to use different controller and pass parent controller object to modal controller and then modal body can use all parent object. so you should pass parent object to modal controller.
When you include createUserContent.jsp popup file in your main file then no need to use ng-controller="UserController as ctrl" in your modal template you used in modalInstance controller : 'Ctrl',
like:
var modalInstance = $uibModal.open({
templateUrl: 'createUserContent.jsp',
controller: 'ModalCtrl', // ModalCtrl for modal
controllerAs:'modal', // as modal so no need to use in modal template
size: 'lg',
resolve: {
items: function () {
return $scope.items;
},
parent: function(){ // pass self object as a parent to 'ModalCtrl'
return self;
}
}
and ModalCtrl like:
.controller('ModalCtrl', ['parent', function (parent) {
this.parent = parent;
}]);
here used ModalCtrl for modal as modal so you can access parent object like: modal.parent.user
template like:
<form role="form" >
<div class="form-group">
<label for="FirstName">FirstName</label> <input type="FirstName"
ng-model="modal.parent.user.firstName" class="form-control"
id="FirstName" placeholder="Enter FirstName" />
.....
....
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default"
ng-click="modal.parent.saveUser(modal.parent.user)">Save</button>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Cancel</button>
</form>
