Allow passing editorData (aka dialogData) to editorService.open

The v8 editorService is a great replacement for dialogService, built from scratch to be used all over the backoffice and allowing infinite editing.

There is one feature, though, that seems to have been lost in the trade: the option to pass custom data (formerly ‘dialogData’) to the overlay controller.

Unless there is a way to do this (I didn’t found it) and if you find this feature useful I can gladly submit a PR - it only requires adding one line in umbraco.controller.js:

Before:

// event for infinite editors
evts.push(eventsService.on('appState.editors.open', function (name, args) {
    $scope.infiniteMode = args && args.editors.length > 0 ? true : false;
}));

After:

// event for infinite editors
evts.push(eventsService.on('appState.editors.open', function (name, args) {
    $scope.infiniteMode = args && args.editors.length > 0 ? true : false;
    $scope.editorData = args && args.editor ? args.editor.editorData: null;
}));

@JoseMarcenaro the entire object you pass along to the editorService.open method is accessible through the controller via $scope.model.

Eg. with

editorService.open({
    size: "small",
    view: "/App_Plugins/Skybrud.Umbraco.Redirects/Views/Dialogs/Add.html",
    example: { test: true },
    submit: function (value) {
        editorService.close();
    }
});

you’ll be able to call $scope.model.example.test to get my example boolean value.

Isn’t this what you’re looking for, or are you describing something else?

Glad you raised this issue…i was wondering the exact same thing about dialogData.
