How to make a GET request in Angular?

Question

Angular

$http.get("lists.php")
.then(function(response) {
$scope.lists = response.data.lists;
console.log($scope.lists); // returns an array
});
console.log($scope.lists); // returns an empty array []

Answer 1

The request is being processed correctly. It's a matter of asynchrony. At the time of the second console.log get , the request had not yet completed.
