Why is the variable set in ng-init undefined in $scope in AngularJS?

angularjs

Solution

Wait until the variable is init.

$scope.$watch('pageTitle', function () {
    console.log($scope.pageTitle); 
});

Problem

I have a variable I'm setting in my view with `ng-init` which I am then trying to access in my controller. When I try to access it however, I'm getting an `undefined`. Relevant pieces of code: My view: ``` <div ng-controller="MyCtrl"> <div ng-init="pageTitle = 'kittens'"> </div> </div> ``` My controller: ``` var MyCtrl; MyCtrl = function($scope) { return console.log($scope.pageTitle); }; ``` JSFiddle What am I missing here?
