use case: user settings / dictionary support / ordered dictionary about angularfire HOT 9 CLOSED

We added getByName and getByNames to angularFireCollection recently that should help with this. Re-open if that doesn't help!

from angularfire.

Can you give an example of how to use this? Using getByName inside the controller returns undefined because the collection hasn't populated yet. Placing it inside a callback doesn't seem to help either.

Not sure how settings fit in to your other requirements. But try this (implicit update):

Here is an explicit update version of the previous plnkr: http://plnkr.co/edit/KztBQDET6XVOdjkxoZgG?p=preview

@bennlich Do you figure out how to use getByName and getByNames?

from angularfire.

For me, it only returns an integer, which is not an index. Very confused.

getByName returns the item in the collection.

Well, I know what's it's supposed to do, i'm just saying, the following:

var collection = angularFireCollection(new Firebase(URL));
var item = collection.getByName('-IsiklzTd90LIwWOI81Y');

For ME, item = 8, sometimes item = 7. If i'm doing something wrong,
please let me know, thanks!

Hmm. So what are the objects in your collection? What object corresponds to
the example item Id?
