Introduce to basic $stateProvider.state() with $stateParams services. Understand how nested router works.
Key Value:
ng-href="#/list/{{item.name}}"
.state('list.item', {
url: '/:item',
templateUrl: 'templates/list.item.tmpl.html',
controller: 'ItemCtrl',
controllerAs: 'item'
})
ui-sref="list.item({item: item.name})"
the same as
ui-sref=".item({item: item.name})" <!-- ui.route understand to find the parent router-->
Note: we can put template into a spreated html, here we just put inside index.html and use type to define it.

<h3>What is ui-router?</h3> <p>URL routing is a popular approach to matching the contents of a URL to specific functionality within a web
application. URL routes programmatically present specific content to users based on the URL that they are
visiting. It is a popular approach that has proven to be very effective.</p> <P>Something that might not be obvious is that URL routing is also a finite state machine. When you configure
the routing for an app, you are laying out the various states the application can be in, and informing the
application what to display and do when a specific route is encountered.</P> <p>AngularJS supplies URL routing by default. It is adequate, but also has some limitations.</p>

"ui-view" is important to tell where ui-router should show the view.
