AngularFire single object

angularfire, angularjs, firebase, javascript

Solution

Try using the regular angularFire service, and specifying the type of your single object:

app.controller('ctrl', ['$scope', '$timeout', 'angularFire',
  function($scope, $timeout, angularFire) {    
    var url = 'https://ex.firebaseio.com/stuff';
    angularFire(url, $scope, "obj", "");
  }
]);

Note the 4th argument (" " means string, you can also use booleans, numbers, objects and arrays).

Problem

In the angularFire examples it shows how to get a collection of objects from firebase. ``` app.controller('ctrl', ['$scope', '$timeout', 'angularFireCollection', function($scope, $timeout, angularFireCollection) { var url = 'https://ex.firebaseio.com/stuff'; $scope.col = angularFireCollection(url); } ]); ``` What about a single object only? I tried something like this: ``` fb.child('stuff/'+id).on('value', function(snapshot) { $scope.obj = snapshot.val(); console.log('hey got the value') console.log(snapshot.val()) }); ``` Doesn't seem to work. The console outputs the object value correctly but the controller doesn't update.
