AngularJS $http response

Question

here is my code

var object = null
app.controller("controller",function($scope,service){
    $scope.search=function(){
        service.findData().then(
            function successCallback(response){
                object = response.data
            },
            function errorCallback(response){
                alert("error")
            }
        )
        console.log(object)
    }
})

when I print the object, it is null so the question is: how can I get response.data outside?

Thank you for helping!

It was a general practice during the era of AngularJS to assign the controller to variable.

app.controller("controller",function($scope,service){
    var self = this;
    $scope.search=function(){
        service.findData().then(
            function successCallback(response){
                self.yourBusinessFunction (response.data)

            },
            function errorCallback(response){
                alert("error")
            }
        )
        console.log(object)
    }

    self.yourBusinessFunction = function(data){

    console.log(data);
    // data here will be the response.data from the service
    // You can write your logic here

    }
