/* The blacklight modal plugin can display some interactions inside a Bootstrap modal window, including some multi-page interactions. It supports unobtrusive Javascript, where a link or form that would have caused a new page load is changed to display it's results inside a modal dialog, by this plugin. The plugin assumes there is a Bootstrap modal div on the page with id #blacklight-modal to use as the modal -- the standard Blacklight layout provides this. To make a link or form have their results display inside a modal, add `data-blacklight-modal="trigger"` to the link or form. (Note, form itself not submit input) With Rails link_to helper, you'd do that like: link_to something, link, data: { blacklight_modal: "trigger" } The results of the link href or form submit will be displayed inside a modal -- they should include the proper HTML markup for a bootstrap modal's contents. Also, you ordinarily won't want the Rails template with wrapping navigational elements to be used. The Rails controller could suppress the layout when a JS AJAX request is detected, OR the response can include a `
` -- only the contents of the container will be placed inside the modal, the rest of the page will be ignored. If you'd like to have a link or button that closes the modal, you can just add a `data-dismiss="modal"` to the link, standard Bootstrap convention. But you can also have an href on this link for non-JS contexts, we'll make sure inside the modal it closes the modal and the link is NOT followed. Link or forms inside the modal will ordinarily cause page loads when they are triggered. However, if you'd like their results to stay within the modal, just add `data-blacklight-modal="preserve"` to the link or form. Here's an example of what might be returned, demonstrating most of the devices available:
One additional feature. If the content returned from the AJAX modal load has an element with `data-blacklight-modal=close`, that will trigger the modal to be closed. And if this element includes a node with class "flash_messages", the flash-messages node will be added to the main page inside #main-flahses. == Events We'll send out an event 'loaded.blacklight.blacklight-modal' with the #blacklight-modal dialog as the target, right after content is loaded into the modal but before it is shown (if not already a shown modal). In an event handler, you can inspect loaded content by looking inside $(this). If you call event.preventDefault(), we won't 'show' the dialog (although it may already have been shown, you may want to $(this).modal("hide") if you want to ensure hidden/closed. The data-blacklight-modal=close behavior is implemented with this event, see for example. */ // We keep all our data in Blacklight.modal object. // Create lazily if someone else created first. if (Blacklight.modal === undefined) { Blacklight.modal = {}; } // a Bootstrap modal div that should be already on the page hidden Blacklight.modal.modalSelector = '#blacklight-modal'; // Trigger selectors identify forms or hyperlinks that should open // inside a modal dialog.
