passing data from controller to service in angularjs

Question

I am new to angular js.

I need to access data from my controller to service.

I tried using $rooyScope but my service needs to be loaded first and then my controller so using $rooyScope gives me error.

so i am unable to get the data stored in $rooyScope on service.

Can any suggest me a options that suits my expectation

Thank you for your help

Use functions in the service to set a service variable

angular.module('myServiceModule', []).
factory('testService', function() {
   var myVariable;
   return setVariable: function(parameter) {
       myVariable = parameter;
       // DO SOMETHING ELSE IF YOU WANT
   },
   return getVariable: function() {
       return myVariable;
   }
 });

then in your controller inject the service and call the service function

angular.module('myControllerModule', []).
controller('testController, ['testService', function(testService) {
     testService.setVariable('TEST');
     console.log(testService.getVariable());
}]);
