V8: Can't use dialogService in backoffice angular controller

So I’m building a custom grid editor to be able to select a node in the content tree and have it be displayed as a clickable button that will redirect to user to the selected node.

However, I’ve barely gotten started, and it’s already crashing. It doesn’t seem like I can inject the “dialogService” into my angular-controller. At first I didn’t think I could inject any service, but I tried the “assetsService” and that works fine!

Reproduction

Create a custom grid editor plugin, complete with an angular controller and try to inject the dialogService the normal way.

Console error

Error: "[$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: dialogServiceProvider <- dialogService <- rexel.grid.contentcontroller
https://errors.angularjs.org/1.7.5/$injector/unpr?p0=dialogServiceProvider%20%3C-%20dialogService%20%3C-%20rexel.grid.contentcontroller"

Have you guys removed the dialogService or what?

I totally understand, we are working on it! There’s a very large amount of documentation that needs writing/updating/etc… we will be rolling out new api docs hopefully within the next few weeks.

Thanks for the help @Shazwazza and @abjerner . I had already made posts about this at our.umbraco but got nothing.

I’ll use the overlayservice instead, I downloaded the source code and will look at that for the time being. If you ask me, this should get a bump in prio, it’s annoying having to scour the internet only to find out you have to download the source code to check.

To clarify, I don’t mind looking at the source code, but the very least you can do is add something on the official docs that lets people know that they should look at the source code instead.

Sorry if I sound bitter!

Have a nice day!
