not able to access $scope object outside a http response callback function in angularjs

Question

I have this controller for saving some details for an individual. I have a separate repository EntityRepository where a function to get the user gender from database is defi

Answer 1

You are not able to access the value outside due to asynchronous property of requests. What that simply means is that this statement: console.log("outside : ", $scope.userGender);, is getting executed before the .then(function(){ ... }).

Fixes:

1. Wrap your outside code inside of $timeout

.controller('individualDetailsCtrl', function($scope, $rootScope, $location, EntityRepository, $timeout) {

and

$timeout(function() {console.log("outside : ", $scope.userGender)});

2. Use $scope.userGender's value only inside the .then(function() { }).
