So if I do a colon here and type something like message, I

can inject something here called route params into my

controller, and now I can simply say that our message is

$routeParams.message.

So that's going to parse this out of the URL, pass it along

as a parameter in the route, and then I can just look it up

by that key of message.

So if I refresh now, it's going to give me nothing

because there is no message here.

But if I say something like hello, it'll render out hello.

Or if I say something like bonjour, it'll render that out

simply because I'm grabbing the message off of the

$routeParams object.

Now, this isn't a typical scenario.

What you'd usually have is something like--

we'll say this is our map, and then you'd have like a

country, slash, state, slash, city, and then you can simply

have like a map page.

Let's build out our new message.

We'll have it be address, and we'll say our address is

$routeParams country plus comma.

So do it this way--

country, state, and city.

And then all we have to do is--

see if we refresh here, we got nothing because we need to

build out our URL like this is our map.

And the USA, my state is Utah, and I live in Orem--

please don't come and stalk me.

So it has address of USA, Utah, Orem because it took

these out of the URL and just simply provided them as route

parameters, and I can look them up this way.

So that's route parameters.

We'll see different ways of looking at them as we get into

things like redirect [? to. ?]
