Unable to access $http response data in Angular JS factory

I am trying to save $http response data in a variable inside angularJS factory. But I could not access the response outside the http method. It is showing undefined. I checked this link Injecting $scope into an angular service function() Please let me know how to handle this. Below is the factory code:

angular.module('myapp')
  .factory('CardNumberFactory',['$http', function ($http) {
    // Service logic
    var details={};
  
    $http.get('scripts/services/mock.json')
      .then(function(responce){       
        var resopnceData = responce.data;
            details=resopnceData;
      });

    console.log(details);
    return {details:details};
}]);

Because the $http service is asynchrony. You should do this like that:

angular.module('myapp')
  .factory('CardNumberFactory',['$http', function ($http) {

    var details={};

    function getData() {
      return $http.get('scripts/services/mock.json')
       .then(function(response){
         return {details: response.data}
      });      
    }

    return {

        getData: getData

     }

}]);

angular.module('myapp').controller('TestController, function($scope,CardNumberFactory) {

  CardNumberFactory.getData().then(function(res) {
      //  res is the {details} object
  })

})
