To open a route in a modal dialog in Ember.js, you can use a combination of Ember.js routing and a modal component.


Here is a step-by-step guide to achieve this:

  1. Create a modal component: First, create a modal component that will be used to display the content of the modal dialog.
1
ember g component modal-dialog


  1. Modify the application template: Include the modal component in your application template.
1
2
{{outlet}}
{{modal-dialog}}


  1. Define a route for the modal dialog content: Create a route for the content that you want to display in the modal dialog.
1
ember generate route modal-content


  1. Add a link or action to open the modal dialog: In your template or controller, add a link or action that triggers the opening of the modal dialog.
1
<button {{action 'openModal'}}>Open Modal</button>


  1. Define the action to open the modal dialog: In your controller or component, define the action that will open the modal dialog and transition to the modal-content route.

import Controller from '@ember/controller';
import { action } from '@ember/object';

export default class YourController extends Controller {
  @action
  openModal() {
    this.transitionToRoute('modal-content');
  }
}


  1. Handle closing the modal: In your modal component, handle the closing of the modal dialog.

import Component from '@ember/component';
import { action } from '@ember/object';

export default class ModalDialogComponent extends Component {
  @action
  closeModal() {
    // Handle closing the modal dialog
  }
}


  1. Style the modal dialog: Finally, style the modal dialog using CSS to make it look like a modal.


That's it! You have now successfully opened a route in a modal dialog in Ember.js.
