How to use scope variable from a service in angularJS

I want a message to be displayed on file upload success or failure on the UI. I have the following file structure.

Controller:

My file upload function is like this: 

       $scope.uploadFile = function () {
                   //using a service
                   fileUpload.uploadFileToUrl(file, uploadUrl)
    };

This works perfectly fine. The fileUpload service looks like this: 

       angular.module('myApp').service('fileUpload', ['$http', function  
     ($http) {


      //upload function happens here and returns a promise, This is     executing fine.
            .success(function (response) {
                if (response.status=="uploadSuccess")
                {
                    alert("The file has been successfully uploaded");
                    var message = "success";
                                        }
                if (response.status == "uploadFailure") {
                    alert("The file could not be uploaded");

                                      }
                if (response.status == "uploadFailureExc") {
                    alert("The file could not be uploaded due to an exception that occured");


                }
                if (response.status == "FileExists") {
                    alert("The file could not be uploaded - a file with that name already exists");

                                        }


            })
            .error(function () {

            });

    }
      }]);

How can I display a message on my html page instead of using alerts. I have tried to set a variable var message. and then returning it out of the service, but its going in some infinity loop and getting stuck. I have tried to use a scope variable and its also going in some infinite loop.

Help

$http will trigger callback asynchronously when the response is available. you can use .then to get response from your Service

.then(function successCallback(response) {
    // this callback will be called asynchronously
    // when the response is available
 }, function errorCallback(response) {
    // called asynchronously if an error occurs
    // or server returns response with an error status.
 });

and in your controller

fileUpload.uploadFileToUrl(file, uploadUrl).then(function(data) {
    console.log(data);
});

.success(function (response) {
       if (response.status=="uploadSuccess")
       {
           var message = "The file has been successfully uploaded";
           return message;
    }
       if (response.status == "uploadFailure") {
           var message = "The file could not be uploaded";
           return message;
                             }
       if (response.status == "uploadFailureExc") {
           var message = "The file could not be uploaded due to an exception that occured";
           return message;

       }
       if (response.status == "FileExists") {
           var message = "The file could not be uploaded - a file with that name already exists";
           return message;

                               }


   })

Replace the on success block with this code which returns a message for every condition upon upload and now you can use it in your controller in whichever way you want to. Hope this helps.!
