AngularJS Function call looses object scope

I have a URL with query params as below.

http://somehost/page.html#/?param1=value1&param2=value2`

Inside the JS file I have a controller which defines a function as per the below code and makes a http call and assignes the data to the $scope.

angular.module('ngApp').controller('Cntrl', function ($scope,$location,$http){
    var val1 = $location.search()['param1'];

    $http.get('/api/call').success(function(data) {
         $scope.empList = data; 
         console.log ($scope.empList) ; // return data 
    });

    console.log ($scope.empList) ; // return undefined when accessed with above url 
    $scope.fetch = function() {
     // some code  which uses $scope.empList here 
    }

    $scope.fetch(); 
}

I have just started to learn angularJS and no idea why $scope.empList is undefined outside the http block.

Your HTTP request is asynchronous. So you need to do like this:

angular.module('ui.kpi.bugs').controller('BugKpiForm', function ($scope,$location,$http){
var val1 = $location.search()['param1'];

$scope.empList = [];

$http.get('/api/call').success(function(data) {
     $scope.empList = data; 
     console.log ($scope.empList) ; // return data 

     $scope.fetch(); // invoke only when empList data is available.
});

$scope.fetch = function() {
 // some code  which uses $scope.empList here 
}
