Can't access 2nd level attributes from scope variable in AngularJs

Question

I am working with MEAN.js application. I come accross one strange problem.

$scope.currentUser = Authentication.user;
console.log($scope.currentUser);

output:

    {"_id":"5579c9a4f3d71f8c2a4f1e3d","email":"[email protected]","country":"US",
"gender":"Male","name":"Ilesh Patel"}

when I execute this than it prints all the data of currentUser but as soon as I do

$scope.currentUser = Authentication.user;
console.log($scope.currentUser.name);

then I get undefined. I don't know why I am not able to get name.

I do not know AngularJs but it looks like the result is json encoded if you can output it like this to the console. Decode the result with JSON.parse before using it.

$scope.currentUser = JSON.parse(Authentication.user);
