Item Details Page using angularjs $routeParams - angularjs

Question

I am building an online store with angularjs and I am having a hard time figuring out how to link to the details.html and have it display the specific items details. Currently when I click on the view more button url will show the name of the item. The only way i can get it to show is by making a link like this: #/details/:{{item.name}}. Everything I've read online says it should be #/details/:name but that returns :name in the url and not details/:Macbook Pro as an example. If I do it the correct way it redirects back to the home page. Here's my code so far.
app.js
var myApp = angular.module('app', ['ngRoute']);
myApp.config(['$routeProvider','$locationProvider', function($routeProvider,$locationProvider) {
$routeProvider.
when('/home',{
templateUrl: 'partials/home.html',
controller: "storeCtrl"
}).
when('/about',{
templateUrl: 'partials/about.html',
controller: "storeCtrl"
}).
when('/computers',{
templateUrl: 'partials/computers.html',
controller: "storeCtrl"
}).
when('/smartphones',{
templateUrl: 'partials/smartphones.html',
controller: "storeCtrl"
}).
when('/tablets',{
templateUrl: 'partials/tablets.html',
controller: "storeCtrl"
}).
when('/details/:{{item.name}}',{
templateUrl: 'partials/details.html',
controller: "storeCtrl"
}).
otherwise({
redirectTo: '/home'
});
}]);
myApp.controller('storeCtrl', ['$scope', '$http', '$routeParams', function($scope, $http, $routeParams) {
$scope.homeHeading = 'All Products';
$scope.aboutHeading = 'About Us';
$scope.computersHeading = 'Computers';
$scope.smartphonesHeading = 'Smartphones';
$scope.tabletsHeading = 'Tablets';
$http.get('js/products.json').then(function(result) {
$scope.products = result.data;
});
$scope.minusOne = function(index) {
$scope.products[index].dislikes += 1;
};
$scope.plusOne = function(index) {
$scope.products[index].likes += 1;
};
}]);
computers.html
<div>
<h1>{{computersHeading}}</h1>
<div class="product col-md-4" ng-repeat="item in products | filter:search | filter:'Laptop'">
<img ng-src="{{ item.cover }}" >
<h3>{{ item.name }}</h3>
<p class="price">{{ item.price }}</p>
<p class=""> <b>Storage</b>: {{ item.specs.storage }}</p>
<p> <b>Memory</b>: {{ item.specs.memory }}</p>
<!----- Save ratings for details page
<div class="rating">
<p class="likes" ng-click="plusOne($index)">
<i class="fa fa-thumbs-up"></i>
{{ item.likes }} </p>
<p class="dislikes" ng-click="minusOne($index)"><i class="fa fa-thumbs-down"></i> {{ item.dislikes }} </p>
</div> -->
View Product
</div>
</div>
Again the only way to get the item name to show in the url is to have the brackets in the url and i know that is incorrect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I figured out, I needed to make a controller for the details page and then get the json data. I then changed my href link to
View Product
