Pass angularJs variable to javascript Variable

I have Angularjs variable that I want to pass in javascript variable. I found solution here so it didn't work. My code : 

<script>
var demo=angular.module('demo', []);
demo.controller('metrics', function($scope, $http) {
$http.get('http://localhost:8080/metrics').then(function(response) 
    {
     $scope.metrics = response.data;            
    });
    });
</script>

<div ng-controller="metrics">
<p>{{metrics}}<p>
</div>
<script>
var e = angular.element(document.querySelector('[ng-controller="metrics"]')); 
var e1 = e.scope().metrics ; 
alert(e1)   
</script>

I got result from {{metrics}} but e1 didn't return something.
Thanks for your help.

angular.element() is a function in angular to get a raw DOM

if you want to get a particular <p> then assign id attribute on it

with that raw DOM, you can add attribute, add classes or else (check this link for more info)

but if you want to do something with metrics then just use $scope.metrics after you get it from $http

<div ng-controller="metricsCtrl">
  <p id="metric">{{metrics}}<p>
</div>

<script>
  var demo=angular.module('demo', []);
  demo.controller('metricsCtrl', function($scope, $http) {
  $http.get('http://localhost:8080/metrics').then(function(response) 
      {
       $scope.metrics = response.data;

       // you can do whatever with $scope.metrics here
       console.log($scope.metrics);

      });
  var e = angular.element(document.querySelector('#metric'));
  console.log(e);
  e.addClass('some-class');     // here p will be <p class="some-class" id="metric">{{metrics}}<p>
  });
</script>

From your current code, by the time the JS code executes, it will not contain metrics data.

The JS code should be written in the then response of the API call,

If you do that, the JS code will be called after the metrics gets a value.

var demo=angular.module('demo', []);
demo.controller('metrics', function($scope, $http) {
   $http.get('http://localhost:8080/metrics').then(function(response) 
    {
       $scope.metrics = response.data;            
       var e = angular.element(document.querySelector('[ng-controller="metrics"]')); 
       var e1 = e.scope().metrics ; 
       alert(e1);
    });
});
