## What is the current behavior?
When using `ModalController.create()` or `PopoverController.create()` in
Angular, components rendered inside overlays cannot access non-global
services or tokens from the component tree. For example, route-scoped
services or Angular's Dir directive for bidirectional text support are
not accessible from within a modal, requiring complex workarounds with
wrapper components.
## What is the new behavior?
`ModalController.create()` and `PopoverController.create()` now accept
an optional injector property that allows passing a custom Angular
Injector. This enables overlay components to access services and tokens
that are not available in the root injector, such as route-scoped
services or the Dir directive from Angular CDK.
```typescript
const customInjector = Injector.create({
providers: [{ provide: MyService, useValue: myServiceInstance }],
parent: this.injector,
});
```
```typescript
const modal = await this.modalController.create({
component: MyModalComponent,
injector: customInjector,
});
```
