How to pass data from component to ngBootstrap modal in Angular 7?

Question

I have a table with data displayed using ngFor. I need to display an individual row data in a modal on click. i can log it in console by passing the row as click argument but not able to pass it inside the modal.

Assuming the table data is being fetched from a service and the modal is a template reference which is in same component file as the table.

Here is a fiddle created https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-xr8ud5

I have used angular 1.x and the data was passed through resolve. I am new to Angular and have never worked in ngBootstrap.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Passing of data from your component to ngBoostrap modal can be done via Angular's 2-way binding. It is actually the very same way you carry out 2-way binding on Angular 1.x!

I have made a demo for you.

First, on your model-basic.ts, you define your model for the modal. Then, you assign the modalContent model property with the table row data.

modalContent:undefined
  .
  .

open(content, tableRow) {
  this.modalContent = tableRow
  this.modalService.open(content, {ariaLabelledBy: 'modal-basic-title'});
}

On your modal-basic.html, you can use the {{ ... }} template expression to display the individual properties of your model on your modal itself.

<ng-template #content let-modal>
  <div class="modal-header">
    <h4 class="modal-title" id="modal-basic-title">Details</h4>
    <button type="button" class="close" aria-label="Close" (click)="modal.dismiss('Cross click')">
      <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
    </button>
  </div>
  <div class="modal-body">
    id: {{ modalContent.id }}
    <br>
    first: {{ modalContent.first }}
    <br>
    last: {{ modalContent.last }}
    <br>
    handle: {{ modalContent.handle }}
  </div>
</ng-template>
