Value from $rootScope is not loaded properly

Question

So I'm basically trying to get a property from my $rootScope when the page loads. I need this property so I can display the value in my form.

After testing this:

console.log("DEBUG $rootScope", $rootScope);
console.log("DEBUG $rootScope.localClient", $rootScope.localClient);

I've noticed that $rootScope contains a localClient property, but $rootScope.localClient is undefined. Why is this?

See console screen below.

Here is where I fill the localClient object

function setClient(client, tvaNumber) {
    if (tvaNumber) {
        if (angular.isUndefined($rootScope.localClient))
            $rootScope.localClient = {};

        $rootScope.localClient[tvaNumber] = client; 
    }
}

As far as I know, no. Just a regular sync call. I'll add the initiation of the localClient as well — Jordec, Jan 18 '19 at 08:57
are you logging `$rootScope` before it assigns `localClient` value? — Pankaj Parkar, Jan 18 '19 at 08:59
I'm afraid it could be doing that, but the console says that `$rootScope` actually has a localClient. Wouldn't that mean it's already assigned? — Jordec, Jan 18 '19 at 09:01
every `setClient` call is synchronically, no async calls are done here — Jordec, Jan 18 '19 at 09:03
See console will show the updated value, because it ultimately refer to the reference of the variable, [check here](https://stackoverflow.com/q/8747421/2435473) — Pankaj Parkar, Jan 18 '19 at 09:04
Okay, based on this, why could my value not be in the rootScope? — Jordec, Jan 18 '19 at 09:10
You can utilize `$sessionStorage` if `$rootScope` is not working for you? I can show you how if you want? — Shaheryar.Akram, Jan 18 '19 at 14:47

Try accessing it like this,

console.log("DEBUG $rootScope.localClient", $rootScope['localClient']);

Still undefined. – Jordec Jan 18 '19 at 08:53
what would be the difference by this way? – Pankaj Parkar Jan 18 '19 at 08:53
@Jordec are you trying to print it inside a function? can you post the full code – Sajeetharan Jan 18 '19 at 08:55
@PankajParkar this bracket notation is safe as they can include any characters, including spaces. – Sajeetharan Jan 18 '19 at 08:57
@Sajeetharan I understand, but I don't see things that you're mentioning inside `localClient` – Pankaj Parkar Jan 18 '19 at 08:58

You must make sure the attribute loaded before use it, because JavaScripte always pass a reference to an object. Or you can try console.log(JSON.parse(JSON.stringify($rootScope)) get the real value.

One example: var a = {}; console.log(a);a.test = '1';

[JavaScript console prints assigned value of variable before it has been assigned?](https://stackoverflow.com/q/8747421/2435473) – Pankaj Parkar Jan 18 '19 at 09:04
yes, but you still can see it in debug information. So, it is why you can see localClient in debug panel, but it is undefined if you try use it. – Nick Wang Jan 18 '19 at 09:08
