Cannot open from inside component about ember-modals HOT 10 CLOSED

It's a very good point. This addon is going to be updated to work almost exclusively with components and a service but I'm waiting to see what routable component looks like first. There will be some small updates before then (for example the modal controller becoming a service). The service would be easy to inject into components.

Do you think that would be sufficient to solve this issue?

That would be perfect. I have other injected services already, and that was the path I'll have to go down if you weren't going to make it that. I don't have experience making a service though, so it would probably take me way longer.

Ok, not a problem. I think I'll get the first couple of changes released within a week and a half or two weeks. Does that fit with your time frame? And are you able to create a workaround in the meantime?

If not, this.get('targetObject').showModal('some-template-name') should work just fine in a component.

Yea, for now i've bubbled actions up to parent controllers using this.sendAction. this.get() doesn't make sense here b/c you can't do this.get('controller:index') or whatever. At least not that i'm aware of

from ember-modals.

Ok. If your component is in the template of a route (i.e. templates/index.hbs contains the component you want to call a modal from I believe targetObject will work here - that references the context that the component's template is rendered in. But either way, it seems like you're got a temporary fix. I'll try to expedite the service refactor.

from ember-modals.

OH you mean literally right "targetObject'. Ha. I'll give that a shot

from ember-modals.

So that works as long as the component is not inside another component. Which it is in my case. So I'll keep the bubbling for the time being. Let me know when you want some testing. Thanks!

Ok, good to know! And will do - thanks!

This has been fixed with the rewrite in #28
