how can I call/access $scope.mydata from another method in the same controller in Angularjs?

My scenario is

.controller("myCtryl", function($scope,  $http) {
  $scope.functionA = function(){
     $scope.data = "some data";
  }
  $scope.functionB = function(){
     //access $scope.data here//
  }

}

yeah just access it there, what is the issue – PSL Jan 25 '15 at 18:38
    
I'm getting empty when I tried to alert() it. – user3569641 Jan 25 '15 at 18:38
    
@user3569641 Have you actually called functionA? – Alexis King Jan 25 '15 at 18:39
    
You must be trying to access $scope.data in the other function before the previous function sets the value on it asyncronously. Currently your question is too unclear for us to provide a definitive answer for your issue, – PSL Jan 25 '15 at 18:40
    
yeah. thank you. @PSL. I was trying to access it before the previous function sets value. – user3569641 Jan 25 '15 at 18:41

It is fine to access $scope in that function.

.controller("myCtryl", function($scope,  $http) {
  $scope.functionA = function(){
     $scope.data = "some data";
  }
  $scope.functionB = function(){
     $scope.data //this id valid
  }

}

You can just access $scope.data in functionB the same way you access it in functionA. It will work. The $scope variable is in the same lexical scope for both functions.
