Delay angular-ui modal from closing

Question

I am using angularjs with the angular-ui library (specially the angular-ui-bootstrap one).

How can I delay a modal from closing? After the user clicks on the x, or Cancel button, I need the modal to stay visible for an extra half second, but I haven't found a way to do it.

I was thinking to add some timeout in the callback function that is passed into the then function of the modal instance, such as:

modalInstance.result.then(function success(){
    // timeout .5 second
}, function cancel() {
   // timeout .5 second
});

but the code in the callback functions is actually run after the modal has been close. Is there a way to do this?

You can use

 $timeout(function() {
     $modalInstance.dismiss('cancel');
 }, 500);

Complete code with seperate controller of modal :-

angular.module('ui.bootstrap.demo', ['ui.bootstrap']);
angular.module('ui.bootstrap.demo').controller('ModalDemoCtrl', function ($scope, $modal, $log) {

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

  $scope.open = function (size) {

    var modalInstance = $modal.open({
      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());
    });
  };
});

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

angular.module('ui.bootstrap.demo').controller('ModalInstanceCtrl', function ($scope, $modalInstance,$timeout, items) {

  $scope.items = items;
  $scope.selected = {
    item: $scope.items[0]
  };

  $scope.ok = function () {
    $modalInstance.close($scope.selected.item);
  };

  $scope.cancel = function () {
    $timeout(function() {
            $modalInstance.dismiss('cancel');
        }, 500);

  };
});
