Angular $scope object not getting assigned

I'm trying to assign an object through a service to a $scope object. However I get an error saying that the object is undefined. I'm making an asynchronous call to get the object and below I've used $timeout service to simulate the same. I've tried $q.defer() and returned a promise suspecting it to be a timing issue and also called $apply() to invoke binding but nothing seems to be working. Below is the link to the code in plunker. Pls help me out with this. http://plnkr.co/edit/wyF4Bx1a39IEWS3m8Loe?p=info

<body ng-controller="profctrl">
  <p>Hello {{usr}}!</p>
</body>

</html>

var ub = angular.module('app', []);
ub.controller('profctrl', ["$scope", "formsub", "$log", "$timeout", function($scope, formsub, $log, $timeout) {
  $log.log("In Profile controller");
  $scope.msg = "";
  $scope.usr = {};

  var fbresponse = {
    name: 'xyz',
    email: '[email protected]'
  };

  $scope.usr = formsub.getprof(fbresponse);
  $timeout(function() {
    $log.log('$scope.usr', $scope.usr);
  }, 2000);
}]);

ub.service('formsub', ["$http", "$log", "$q", "$timeout", function($http, $log, $q, $timeout) {
  var user = {};
  var self = this;

  self.msg = "";


  self.getprof = function(user) {

      $timeout(function() {
        $log.log('user assigned');
        return user;
      }, 2000);

    } //getprof

}]);

Solution

var ub = angular.module('myApp', []);
ub.controller('profctrl', ["$scope", "formsub", "$log", "$timeout", function($scope, formsub, $log, $timeout) {
$log.log("In Profile controller");
$scope.msg = "";
$scope.usr = {};

var fbresponse = {
name: 'xyz',
email: '[email protected]'
};
formsub.getprof(fbresponse).then(function(result) {
$scope.usr = result;
alert(JSON.stringfy(result));
});

}]);

ub.service('formsub', ["$http", "$log", "$q", "$timeout", function($http, $log, $q, $timeout) {
 var user = {};
 var self = this;
 self.msg = "";
 self.getprof = function(user) {
  var deferral = $q.defer();
  $timeout(function() {
    $log.log('user assigned');
    deferral.resolve(user);
  }, 2000);
  return deferral.promise;
} //getprof
}]);

Demo

I have use the $q.I think this will help you
