Use $timeout for $apply about angularfire HOT 3 CLOSED

@anantn They are using the "safe $apply" pattern. See here for info on this:

http://www.yearofmoo.com/2012/10/more-angularjs-magic-to-supercharge-your-webapp.html#apply-digest-and-phase

from angularfire.

My understanding is that safeApply isn't recommended because $$phase is an undocumented internal detail. Am I incorrect? Any drawbacks to using $timeout instead of safeApply?

This is a bit old and so doesn't refer to $timeout directly (as it hadn't
been built at this stage) but this is Misko's view:

$$phase works but is private and undocumented so it is not safe [sic] to
rely on it.

Using $timeout is much better.

Writing 3rd party libraries that are consistent in whether they call
callbacks synchronously or asynchronously is even better :-)
