## Overview

The `$routeParams` service allows you to retrieve the current set of route parameters.

Requires the `ngRoute` module to be installed.

The route parameters are a combination of `$location`'s `search()` and `path()`. The `path` parameters are extracted when the `$route` path is matched.

In case of parameter name collision, `path` params take precedence over `search` params.

The service guarantees that the identity of the `$routeParams` object will remain unchanged (but its properties will likely change) even when a route change occurs.

Note that the `$routeParams` are only updated after a route change completes successfully. This means that you cannot rely on `$routeParams` being correct in route resolve functions. Instead you can use `$route.current.params` to access the new route's parameters.

## Dependencies

- `$route`

## Example

    // Given:
    // URL: http://server.com/index.html#/Chapter/1/Section/2?search=moby
    // Route: /Chapter/:chapterId/Section/:sectionId
    //
    // Then
    $routeParams ==> {chapterId:'1', sectionId:'2', search:'moby'}
