Why I'm not able to console output $scope values ? I'm trying to extract user assigned values from the pages and retrieve in controller. Eventually i would like to pass this to service so multiple controllers can access these data.

}
$scope.name = $scope.lower();
console.log($scope.name);
console.log($scope.lower());
}]);
Console will output values upon initializing but not after user make changes.

But in case of console.log(), you need to set watcher manually if you want it to console to model value. – Dr. Rahul Jha Commented May 29, 2017 at 13:53

Reset to default 8You need to watch the scope variable:
$scope.$watch('name', function() {
console.log($scope.name);
});
More information: https://stackoverflow./a/15113029/5787736
Just a more "functional" version. Everyone is right, you are logging the observable, not what was observed. What you want is for console.log to be called on each change to $scope, not called once (as you have it now).
$scope.$watch("name", console.log);
You're logging only from the constructor. If you want to log each time something changes, consider a watch:
$scope.$watch("name", function() {
console.log($scope.name);
}
Why would you expect a controller to be rerendered when a scope variable changes? You can use scope watchers or input event listeners to listen for changes.
Here's an example with a watcher:
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
myApp.controller('mainController', ['$scope', '$filter', function($scope, $filter) {
$scope.name = 'Test ';
$scope.lower = function(){
return $filter('lowercase')($scope.name);
}
$scope.name = $scope.lower();
console.log($scope.name);
console.log($scope.lower());
$scope.$watch('name', function() {
console.log($scope.name);
console.log($scope.lower());
});
}]);<script src="https://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app="myApp" class="container">
<div ng-controller="mainController">
<h1>Hello world!</h1>
<label>Please enter something</label>
<input textarea ng-model="name" />
<h4> This is what you entered : {{ name }} </h4>
<h4 style=color:red> now filtering: {{ lower() }}</h4>
