In this step, you will implement the phone details view, which is displayed when a user clicks on a phone in the phone list.

- When you click on a phone on the list, the phone details page with phone-specific information is displayed.

To implement the phone details view we used $http to fetch our data, and we fleshed out the `phone-detail.html` view template.

## Data

In addition to `phones.json`, the `app/phones/` directory also contains one JSON file for each phone:

`app/phones/nexus-s.json`: (sample snippet)

    {
      "additionalFeatures": "Contour Display, Near Field Communications (NFC),...",
      "android": {
          "os": "Android 2.3",
          "ui": "Android"
      },
      ...
      "images": [
          "img/phones/nexus-s.0.jpg",
          "img/phones/nexus-s.1.jpg",
          "img/phones/nexus-s.2.jpg",
          "img/phones/nexus-s.3.jpg"
      ],
      "storage": {
          "flash": "16384MB",
          "ram": "512MB"
      }
    }

Each of these files describes various properties of the phone using the same data structure. We'll show this data in the phone detail view.

## Controller

We'll expand the `PhoneDetailCtrl` by using the `$http` service to fetch the JSON files. This works the same way as the phone list controller.

`app/js/controllers.js`:

    var phonecatControllers = angular.module('phonecatControllers',[]);

    phonecatControllers.controller('PhoneDetailCtrl', ['$scope', '$routeParams', '$http',
      function($scope, $routeParams, $http) {
        $http.get('phones/' + $routeParams.phoneId + '.json').success(function(data) {
          $scope.phone = data;
        });
      }]);

To construct the URL for the HTTP request, we use `$routeParams.phoneId` extracted from the current route by the `$route` service.

## Template

The TBD placeholder line has been replaced with lists and bindings that comprise the phone details. Note where we use the Angular `{{expression}}` markup and `ngRepeat` to project phone data from our model into the view.

`app/partials/phone-detail.html`:

    <img ng-src="{{phone.images[0]}}" class="phone">

    <h1>{{phone.name}}</h1>

    <p>{{phone.description}}</p>

    <ul class="phone-thumbs">
      <li ng-repeat="img in phone.images">
        <img ng-src="{{img}}">
      </li>
    </ul>

    <ul class="specs">
      <li>
        <span>Availability and Networks</span>
        <dl>
          <dt>Availability</dt>
          <dd ng-repeat="availability in phone.availability">{{availability}}</dd>
        </dl>
      </li>
        ...
      <li>
        <span>Additional Features</span>
        <dd>{{phone.additionalFeatures}}</dd>
      </li>
    </ul>

TODO!

## Test

We wrote a new unit test that is similar to the one we wrote for the `PhoneListCtrl` controller in step 5.

`test/unit/controllersSpec.js`:

      beforeEach(module('phonecatApp'));

      ...

      describe('PhoneDetailCtrl', function(){
        var scope, $httpBackend, ctrl;

        beforeEach(inject(function(_$httpBackend_, $rootScope, $routeParams, $controller) {
          $httpBackend = _$httpBackend_;
          $httpBackend.expectGET('phones/xyz.json').respond({name:'phone xyz'});

          $routeParams.phoneId = 'xyz';
          scope = $rootScope.$new();
          ctrl = $controller('PhoneDetailCtrl', {$scope: scope});
        }));

        it('should fetch phone detail', function() {
          expect(scope.phone).toBeUndefined();
          $httpBackend.flush();

          expect(scope.phone).toEqual({name:'phone xyz'});
        });
      });
    ...

You should now see the following output in the Karma tab:

    Chrome 22.0: Executed 3 of 3 SUCCESS (0.039 secs / 0.012 secs)

We also added a new end-to-end test that navigates to the Nexus S detail page and verifies that the heading on the page is "Nexus S".

`test/e2e/scenarios.js`:

    ...
      describe('Phone detail view', function() {

        beforeEach(function() {
          browser.get('app/index.html#/phones/nexus-s');
        });

        it('should display nexus-s page', function() {
          expect(element(by.binding('phone.name')).getText()).toBe('Nexus S');
        });
      });
    ...

You can now rerun `npm run protractor` to see the tests run.

# Experiments

- Using the Protractor API, write a test that verifies that we display 4 thumbnail images on the Nexus S details page.

# Summary

Now that the phone details view is in place, proceed to step 9 to learn how to write your own custom display filter.
