How to use code to open a modal in Angular 2

Question

Usually we use data-target   myModal  in the  lt button gt  to open a modal  Right now I need use codes to control when to open the modal   If I use  hidden  or  ngIf to show it  I need remove class  modal fade   otherwise  the modal will never show  Like this    lt div  hidden   hideModal  id  myModal  gt    However  in this case  after removing class  modal fade   the modal won t fade in and has no shade in the background  And what s worse  it will show at the screen bottom instead of screen center   Is there a way to keep class  modal fade  and use code to open it     lt button type  button  data-toggle  modal  data-target   myModal  gt Open Modal lt  button gt    lt div id  myModal  class  modal fade  gt     lt div class  modal-dialog  gt       lt div class  modal-content  gt         lt div class  modal-body  gt           lt p gt Some text in the modal  lt  p gt         lt  div gt       lt  div gt     lt  div gt   lt  div gt

I m currently using Bootstrap 4 3 in Angular 8 and want to open modal window programmatically  without actually clicking on some button as the official demo shows    Following method works for me  The general idea is to create a button associated to a modal window   First make sure after you click this button  it can open the modal  Then give this button tag an id using hashtag  for example  hiddenBtn  In component ts file  import ViewChild from  angular core and write below code    ViewChild  hiddenBtn    static  false   myHiddenBtn    After that  whenever you want to open this modal window in your component ts code  write following code to simulate click operation  this myHiddenBtn nativeElement click

I do not feel there is anything wrong with using JQuery with angular and bootstrap  since it is included when adding bootstrap    Add the   right after the imports like this     import           declare var    any    component         modal should have an id like this     lt div id  errorModal  class  modal fade bd-example-modal-lg  tabindex  -1  role  dialog  aria-labelledby  myLargeModalLabel                   then have a method like this    showErrorModal          errorModal   modal  show         call the method on a button click or anywhere you wish

The Way i used to do it without lots of coding is   I have the hidden button with the id  employeeRegistered   On my  ts file I import ElementRef from   angular core   Then after I process everything on my  click  method do as follow   this el nativeElement querySelector   employeeRegistered   click     then the modal displays as expected

Think I found the correct way to do it using ngx-bootstrap  First import following classes   import   ViewChild   from   angular core   import   BsModalService  ModalDirective   from  ngx-bootstrap modal   import   BsModalRef   from  ngx-bootstrap modal bs-modal-ref service     Inside the class implementation of your component add a  ViewCild property  a function to open the modal and do not forget to setup modalService as a private property inside the components class constructor    ViewChild  editSomething   editSomethingModal   TemplateRef lt any gt        modalRef  BsModalRef  openModal template  TemplateRef lt any gt       this modalRef   this modalService show template         constructor  private modalService  BsModalService        The  editSomething  part of the  ViewChild declaration refers to the component template file and its modal template implementation   editSomething         lt ng-template  editSomething gt     lt div class  modal-header  gt     lt h4 class  modal-title pull-left  gt Edit     lt  h4 gt     lt button type  button  class  close pull-right  aria-label  Close       click   modalRef hide    gt       lt span aria-hidden  true  gt  amp times  lt  span gt     lt  button gt     lt  div gt      lt div class  modal-body  gt             lt  div gt       lt div class  modal-footer  gt       lt button type  button  class  btn btn-default           click   modalRef hide             gt Close lt  button gt     lt  div gt   lt  ng-template gt    And finaly call the method to open the modal wherever you want like so   console log this editSomethingModal   this openModal  this editSomethingModal         this editSomethingModal   is a TemplateRef that could be shown by the ModalService    Et voila  The modal defined in your component template file is shown by a call from inside your component class implementation  In my case I used this to show a modal from inside an event handler
