• be able to make $http requests to various APIs
• be able to use outside directives and know how to inject those modules into their application
• be able to create, return, and resolve their own promises with $q

You now should be to the point where you understand the bigger picture of the iTunes web app that has been show to you throughout the class (http://tylermcginnis.com/itunes). Tonight, you're going to recreate your own version of it which fetches Artists using the iTunes API.

The concepts this project will cover are

1. $http
2. Angular Services
3. Passing a Service into your Controller
4. Working with outside code (ng-grid)

##Step 1: Clone and Dissect the Repo

• Fork and clone this repository.
• Go and check out http://tylermcginnis.com/itunes. Although that example includes a bunch of filtering options, this project will just be fetching data by artist name.
• Examine the codebase. Like the ChatRoom project, the index.html page is already built for you. Your main goal is to fill in mainCtrl.js and itunesService.js
• If you're feeling adventurous, feel free to change the CSS how you would like.
• Head over to http://angular-ui.github.io/ng-grid/ and check out the examples there. We will be using ng-grid to display the data we get from iTunes. Although all this code will already be in place for you, it's a good idea to get familiar with ng-grid so you know exactly what that code is doing.

##Step 2: Build your itunesService

• In Angular we use 'services' to outsource some of our heavy lifting. That's exactly what we're going to do when we call the iTunes API.
• Open up itunesService.js and read the instructions. The bigger picture is that this service is going to have a method which takes in an artist name as the parameter, then uses a JSONP http request to call the iTunes API and retrieve the data about that specific artist.

##Step 3: Tie in your Controller

• Now that your itunesService is finished, we somehow need a way to tie the data we're getting from itunesService to our view (index.html)
• Go to mainCtrl.js and follow the instructions in order to get the itunes data from your service to your view

##Step 4: Add More Options

• Go back and look at the original data you're getting from iTunes. There is a lot more that you can play around with...
• Add more columns to ng-grid so the user can see more options
• Add a filtering option so they can filter by price, name, etc etc.
• Also add a options dropdown so they can select which type of data they want from iTunes. Artist, song, movie, etc.(In other words, make it exactly like http://tylermcginnis.com/itunes)
