Current behavior Currently, there’s no way to set the context of the view when passing a TemplateRef to NgxSmartModalService.create.

Expected behavior The context of the ViewRef should be sync with the data of the modal.

Reproduction of the problem Example use case here: https://stackblitz.com/edit/ngx-smart-modal-example-4vbtak

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior? I need this because I cannot scope the ngx-smart-modal component inside the part of the component that have access to my data, and that is refreshed regularly. So, I need to be able to inject data from anywhere, in a template, and use let-foo to get the foo context property.

Please tell us about your environment: In a poor condition 🌲 🔥

• Smart Modal version: 7.3.0

• Angular version: 8.2.13

• Browser: all

• Language: TypeScript

Possible implementation Setting the context of the EmbeddedViewRef created in NgxSmartModalService works (I just tried). So the EmbeddedViewRef reference should be stored somewhere to be reused when calling NgxSmartModalService.setData.

I can PR 🍻

Can you try again locally with the latest version of master please. @maximelafarie fixed this problem I think

I found a way of doing what I want using the new examples mentioned above. But I still think setting arbitrary context can be useful.
