How do I prevent angular-ui modal from closing?
I am using Angular UI $modal in my project http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/#/modal
I don't want user to close the modal by pressing on backdrop. I want a modal can only be closed by pressing close button which I have created.
How do I prevent modal from closing ?
Solution 1:
While you creating your modal you can specify its behavior:
$modal.open({
// ... other options
backdrop : 'static',
keyboard : false
});
Solution 2:
backdrop : 'static'
Will work for 'click' events but still you can use "Esc" key to close the popup.
keyboard :false
to prevent popup close by "Esc" key.

I think question is duplicate of Angular UI Bootstrap Modal - how to prevent user interaction
Solution 3:
Old question, but if you want to add confirmation dialogs on various close actions, add this to your modal instance controller:
$scope.$on('modal.closing', function(event, reason, closed) {
console.log('modal.closing: ' + (closed ? 'close' : 'dismiss') + '(' + reason + ')');
var message = "You are about to leave the edit view. Uncaught reason. Are you sure?";
switch (reason){
// clicked outside
case "backdrop click":
message = "Any changes will be lost, are you sure?";
break;
// cancel button
case "cancel":
message = "Any changes will be lost, are you sure?";
break;
// escape key
case "escape key press":
message = "Any changes will be lost, are you sure?";
break;
}
if (!confirm(message)) {
event.preventDefault();
}
});
I have a close button on the top right of mine, which triggers the "cancel" action. Clicking on the backdrop (if enabled), triggers the cancel action. You can use that to use different messages for various close events.
Solution 4:
This is what is mentioned in documentation
backdrop - controls presence of a backdrop. Allowed values: true (default), false (no backdrop), 'static' - backdrop is present but modal window is not closed when clicking outside of the modal window.
static
may work.
Solution 5:
Configure globally,
decorator, one of the best features in angular. gives the ability to "patch" 3rd party modules.
Let's say you want this behavior in all of your $modal
references and you don't want to change your calls,
You can write a decorator. that simply adds to options - {backdrop:'static', keyboard:false}
angular.module('ui.bootstrap').config(function ($provide) {
$provide.decorator('$modal', function ($delegate) {
var open = $delegate.open;
$delegate.open = function (options) {
options = angular.extend(options || {}, {
backdrop: 'static',
keyboard: false
});
return open(options);
};
return $delegate;
})
});
- Note: in the latest versions, the
$modal
renamed to$uibModal
