How can i write common controller/service to access dialog,popover etc..?[Solved]

I want to have common controller/service for dialogs,popover,modal and $ionicloading ,which will be used in all other state controller.how can I write the common controller?

You can write a factory and map all ionic service functions to own ones?

That’s it^^.

I have written a customised ionicPopup using factory.like below

  var MyService=angular.module('MyService',['ionic']);
    var utilService=MyService.service('utilService',function($rootScope,$ionicPopup)
    {
     return
     {
      showMessage:function (title,message) 
      {
       var myPopup = $ionicPopup.show({
         
         title: title,
         subTitle: message,
         scope: $scope, 
       });
       myPopup.then(function(res) {
         console.log('Tapped!', res);
       });
      };
      }
    });

And I have accessed the popup function in controller to show the popup.But it saying the showMessage() is undefined.

if you are mixin semantic of factories and services:
as service:

var MyService = angular.module('MyService',['ionic']);
var utilService = MyService.service('utilService',function($rootScope,$ionicPopup) {
  this.showMessage = function (title,message) {
    var myPopup = $ionicPopup.show({
      title: title,
      subTitle: message,
      scope: $scope, 
   });
   myPopup.then(function(res) {
     console.log('Tapped!', res);
   });
});

As factory you can use your approach but you have to use MyService.factory(…);

Thanks,I will try that using factory.

@bengtler .Still am getting ReferenceError: showMessage is not defined.

How do you use your factory in your controller?

I have tried both the way to call the showMessage() function.

.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope,$state,utilService) {		 
	utilService.showMessage("Message");
               
        //showMessage("Message");
       
});

i think your utilService is not loaded correctly.

try to console.log your utilService in your controller.

You could try to use following:

.controller('MainCtrl', ['$scope', '$state', 'utilService', function($scope, $state, utilService) {		 
    console.log(utilService);

    //showMessage("Message");

}]);

Maybe your way to create the service is wrong.
Because there is no need to store your module and srevice on a global variable.

angular.module('MyService',['ionic']).factory('utilService', .......).controller()

I am not sure the way i am doing is wrong or right way .I have separate js file for controller and services.I am not using single file.

I have printed the console.log(utilService). its throwing the utilService is undefined.

You can referrence an existing module:

// module definition
angular.module('myModule', ['ionic'])
// module reference
angular.module('myModule').factory(...);

also in different files i think.

Then you can include the files in the correct sortorder in your index.html

The problem is we should use return inside factory.I have added return in utilService ,now I can access the showMessage() function.

MyService.factory('utilService',function($rootScope,$ionicPopup){
   return {
	showMessage:function (title,message) 
	  {
	   var myPopup = $ionicPopup.show({
		 
		 title: title,
		 subTitle: message,
		 scope: $rootScope, 
	   });
	   myPopup.then(function(res) {
		 console.log('Tapped!', res);
	   });
	  }
   
   }
  
});
