Solution 1

You can declare a global variable

    var newVariable = [];

    getParticipant(conf_url, function(data) {
        data.forEach(function(obj){
           newVariable.push(obj['uid']);
        });
    });

newVariable is now accessible outside foreach, but check your assignment, you are using loop so expected that you have multiple values.

Solution 2

note: first of all you have to add global array variable. javascript contain a .push function it will be add your object one be one

var globalArray=[];
function getParticipant(conf_uri, handleData) {
        $.ajax({
          type: "GET",
          url: conf_uri,
          dataType: "jsonp",
          jsonpCallback: 'callback',
          contentType: "application/javascript",
          success: function(data) {
for (i = 0; i < data.length; i++) { 
    globalArray.push( data[i]);
}
          }
        });
  }

Which uid? You appear to have multiple ones. Do you want to get them all out in an array? You could use map instead of forEach then.

Hello @Xufox. I want to get them all out in an array. How will i do it?

Sebastian Simon almost 9 years

Well, data.map(…); creates an array with the uids… do you want to use the Array outside the function within getParticipant — is that what you mean? Just use the array outside of data.map(…); and inside getParticipant(conf_url, function(data) {…});. I guess, this is an asynchronous function, so you kinda have to do it this way.

i mean, the global variable one, try also to log your obj variable to see its contents, use console.log

@arem yah because the variable is not an array, you should put it in an array to capture all values, i edited my answer to implement it as an array
