Using JSON in AngularJS REST

Question

This is silly question. I am calling rest service from Angular like that:

UserService.GetByUsername(username)
    .then(function (user) {
        if (user !== null && user.password === password) {

                        response = { success: true };
...

I can see from the debugger that there really is a user object with proper value from DB:

{
firstName: "Suba",
lastName: "Superi",
lastUpdated: "2015-06-02T18:14:56+03:00",
nickName: "",
password: "super",
userId: 2,
username: "super"
}

Question

Why this (user.password) is undefined: if (user !== null && user.password === password). Is there something in my notation or how can I check if password from DB is the same than user inputed in form? How can I get that password from JSON returned from rest, json parse maybe? I just started AngularJS and to implement authentication and login, so don't bother even password are plain text etc :) This is just annoying me. User is an object, I think that this is the reason, cause I assume that it is type of user?

Are you sure that user.password is undefined? If anything password would be undefined. I don't see where password is defined. — Andy Gaskell

password is from form and user is from db. I checked it with chrome debugger and user is not null and there is correct object, but user.password is still undefined as a whole, password is getting correct value as well. — Sami

You've made a (probably small) mistake somewhere. You aren't giving enough information to help. — Andy Gaskell

Thanks @Andy Gaskell as well for helping me. It was a really small and silly mistake and basically it was just because of naming response as a user and it confused me. user.data.password or response.data.password — Sami

Are you sure that you are getting the "user" object and not the response object in the then() ?

UserService.GetByUsername(username)
    .then(function (response) {
        if (response && response.data && response.data.password === password) {

Thank you, I got a response object, NOT a user. That was it. I just changed this: UserService.GetByUsername(username) .then(function (user) { if (user !== null && user.data.password === password) {
