Javascript self invoking function not working in angular ionic

Question

The code inside the controller is:

(function(){
    $scope.show();
    profile.friend_requests_to_me_service(loggedInUser.id).then(function(data){
        console.log(data);
        $scope.friend_requests_to_me = data.data.friend_request_to_me;
        $scope.friends = data.data.people_you_may_know;
        $scope.hide();
    });   
})();

As you can see this function is calling the service profile and a method of that service.The problem is that this invoking function is not working.The error is given: TypeError: (intermediate value)(...) is not a function.In plunker i have checked a trivial self invoking function.Here is the link:http://jsfiddle.net/Lvc0u55v/4582/. This trivial self invoking function is working.But I cant understand why my actual app self invoking function is not working.Thank you for your time.

The present working version(non self invoking) is: $scope.friendship_requests_to_me_function = function(){ $scope.show(); profile.friend_requests_to_me_service(loggedInUser.id).then(function(data){ console.log(data); $scope.friend_requests_to_me = data.data.friend_request_to_me; $scope.friends = data.data.people_you_may_know; $scope.hide(); }); } $scope.friendship_requests_to_me_function();

With uglify? Try add a ";' before your self invoking function. — Yin Gang, May 27 '16 at 13:37
Didnt understand what was the problem?No where in the documentation is given this syntax.@YinGang if you can provide me an answer i can accept it — Debojyoti, May 27 '16 at 13:39

Most probably one of your js statement is missing a ';' at the end.

Try add a ';' before your self invoking function.
