The above code shows all data correctly that is define in efService for employee
As was mentioned in one of comments, you can NOT get properties of a function itself:
$scope.submitForm.employee - not going to work, since $scope.submitForm is a function
What you can do, accessing 'FormController' of your form. You need to give name for your form name="employeeData" and names for each input name="perkStock"
Then in 'efController' you can access 'employeeData' object, which is 'FormController'. This object has tons of useful properties: $valid, $dirty , etc. + every input by it's name, with their own properties: $viewValue, $modelValue, etc.
Or you can just use $scope.employee since there is two way binding through ng-model="employee.perkStock"- which we have for each input
Here is working Plunk with your code.
From controller, printing our form data:
$scope.submitForm = function (employeeData) {
console.log('Printing "FormController" object, which is accesible through $scope, or might be passed as submit function parametr.')
console.log(employeeData);
console.log($scope.employeeData);
console.log('Printing employee object, which is binded through ng-model ')
console.log($scope.employee)
}
