javascript - Getting data to $scope fails in angularjs -

i'm trying pass data $scope.post doing way, doesn't want work imagine do. no errors in console , code inside postcontroller.

var postcontroller = function ($scope, $location, $routeparams, $http, post, user) {     $scope.post = {};     $scope.getbyid = function (id) {         return $http.get('/api/post/' + id).success(function (data) {             $scope.post = data;         });     }         $scope.getbyid($routeparams.id);         console.log($scope.post); } 

here's routing too:

when('/post/:id', { controller: postcontroller, templateurl: 'post.html' }). 

edit, whole postcontroller added.

getbyid async call, it's not failing, you're not waiting! use .then return promise , assignment in callback:

$scope.getbyid = function (id) {     return $http.get('/api/post/' + id).then(function (result) {          return result.data     }); }  $scope.getbyid($routeparams.id).then(function(data) {     $scope.post = data; });
