Unknown provider: $modalProvider <- $modal error with AngularJS
This kind of error occurs when you write in a dependency for a controller, service, etc, and you haven't created or included that dependency.
In this case, $modal isn't a known service. It sounds like you didn't pass in ui-bootstrap as a dependency when bootstrapping angular. angular.module('myModule', ['ui.bootstrap']); Also, be sure you are using the latest version of ui-bootstrap (0.6.0), just to be safe.
The error is thrown in version 0.5.0, but updating to 0.6.0 does make the $modal service available. So, update to version 0.6.0 and be sure to require ui.boostrap when registering your module.
Replying to your comment: This is how you inject a module dependency.
<!-- tell Angular what module we are bootstrapping --><html ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl">js:
// create the module, pass in modules it depends onvar app = angular.module('myApp', ['ui.bootstrap']);// $modal service is now available via the ui.bootstrap module we passed in to our moduleapp.controller('myCtrl', function($scope, $uibModal) {});Update:
The $modal service has been renamed to $uibModal.
Example using $uibModal
// create the module, pass in modules it depends onvar app = angular.module('myApp', ['ui.bootstrap']);// $modal service is now available via the ui.bootstrap module we passed in to our moduleapp.controller('myCtrl', function($scope, $uibModal) { //code here});
5 years later (this would not have been the problem at the time):
The namespacing has changed - you may stumble across this message after upgrading to a newer version of bootstrap-ui; you need to refer to $uibModal & $uibModalInstance.
Just an extra side note for an issue I also experienced today: I had a similar error "Unknown provider: $aProvider" when I turned on minification/uglify of my source code.
As mentioned in the Angular docs tutorial (paragraph: "A Note on Minification") you have to use the array syntax to make sure references are kept correctly for dependency injection:
var PhoneListCtrl = ['$scope', '$http', function($scope, $http) { /* constructor body */ }];For the Angular UI Bootstrap example you mention you should this replace this:
var ModalInstanceCtrl = function ($scope, $modalInstance, items) { /* ...example code.. */}with this array notation:
var ModalInstanceCtrl = ['$scope', '$modalInstance', 'items', function ($scope, $modalInstance, items) { /* copy rest of example code here */ }];With that change my minified Angular UI modal window code was functional again.
