AngularJs Routing with parameters

Question

Can someone explain how I can route to a Url using parameters?

E.g. id like to click on a product and open more info of the product by Id.

My Routing so far ...

        angular.module('shop', ["customFilters", "cart", "ngRoute"])
        .config(function ($routeProvider){

            $routeProvider.when("/complete", {
                templateUrl: "../app/views/orderComplete.html"
            });

            $routeProvider.when("/placeorder", {
                templateUrl: "../app/views/placeOrder.html"
            });

            $routeProvider.when("/checkout", {
                templateUrl: "../app/views/checkoutSummary.html"
            });

            $routeProvider.when("/products", {
                templateUrl: "../app/views/productList.html"
            });

            $routeProvider.when("/product:", {
                templateUrl: "../app/views/product.html"
            });

            $routeProvider.otherwise({
                templateUrl: "../app/views/productList.html"
            });

        });

So By clicking ...

<a class="btn btn-default" href="#/product/{{item.id}}">More Info</a>

Id like to be routed to product/{{id}}.html ...

Can someone advise what I am missing in ...

       $routeProvider.when("/product:id", {
            templateUrl: "../app/views/product.html"
        });

Answer 1

2 things, but you are basically there.

First you are missing a slash before the URL param. Happens to the best of us.

routeProvider.when("/product/:id", {
    templateUrl: "../app/views/product.html"
});

Secondly you should use ng-href instead href when you have dynamic URL params.

<a ng-href="#/product/{{item.id}}">More Info</a>
