I am trying to use the variables that I set within my $.get function outside of the function itself.

Here is the $.get:

$.get("process/getTotalSales.php", function (data) {
  var obj = JSON.parse(data);

  let prodLine = obj.map((el) => "'" + el.product_line + "'");
  let total = obj.map((el) => el.sum);
});

I’m trying to access the variables “prodLine” and “total” outside of the function above.

I tried to wrap the $.get inside of a function, like this:

function getTotals() {
  $.get("process/getTotalSales.php", function (data) {
    var obj = JSON.parse(data);

    let prodLine = obj.map((el) => "'" + el.product_line + "'");
    let total = obj.map((el) => el.sum);

    console.log(prodLine);
  });      
}

Then call the function:

getTotals();

Using the getTotals function, I can see prodLine in the console. I just need to be able to access it.

How can I make this happen?
