JAVASCRIPT

Why am I getting an error, "ReferenceError: categories is not defined" in AngularJS

(function(){

    app.controller('productsCtrl', ['$scope','$cookies', '$http', function($scope,$cookies,$http){

        $scope.specials = [];
        $http.get("controllers/data.json").then(function (response) {
            $scope.categories = response.data;
            $scope.specials.push($scope.categories[0].laptops[1]);
            $scope.specials.push($scope.categories[1]. accessories[0]);
        }); 

        

    }]);

})();
