[$modal] - ability to distinguish modals (by ids) and close a particular modal

[DmitryEfimenko]

I have a case when a message might come to the website via sockets and based on that message I need to close a particular modal (not all opened modals) if it's open.

For this I propose to add an optional parameter id to the modal:

var modalInstance = {
    id: modalOptions.id,
    result: modalResultDeferred.promise,
    opened: modalOpenedDeferred.promise,
    close: function (result) {
        $modalStack.close(modalInstance, result);
    },
    dismiss: function (reason) {
        $modalStack.dismiss(modalInstance, reason);
    }
};

and add two more methods to $modalStack:

$modalStack.getAll = function () {
    return openedWindows.keys();
};

$modalStack.closeById = function(id, result) {
    var modalInstance = null;
    var opened = $modalStack.getAll();
    for (var i = 0, l = opened.length; i < l; i++) {
        if (opened[i].id == id) {
            modalInstance = openedWindows.get(opened[i]);
            break;
        } 
    }
    if (modalInstance) {
        $modalStack.close(modalInstance.key, result);
    }
}

This way developer will be able to achieve this functionality with ease.

Check the current source code. If I'm not mistaken we have a $modalStack these days. Retry in UI Bootstrap 0.13 and Angular 1.3 please. Re-open if this is still an issue.

This would be very handy. For example, maybe you want to close only certain modals after a route state change. Unfortunately, the $modalStack doesn't expose the openedWindows variable or the wrapper methods listed in this issue (which is preferred).

Can this issue be reopened please?
