Switching Offline / Online mode will delete bound data about angularfire

[sbusso]

Using angularFirewill delete the attached object and tree from firebase when reconnecting if client get disconnected

I think I just witnessed this. All data was deleted from firebase after I left my app alone for 20 mins.

Hmm, this seems bad - thanks for the report @sbusso, @cgarvis - I'll look into this! Any chance of getting a reduced test case? That would help speed up finding the root cause.

@anantn It seems to be wiping the database when I swap from one module and then back again. Using the code below, the wipe occurs when going from '/feature-a' to '/feature-b' and then back to '/feature-a'c. Watching Firebase, the data is intact after routing to '/feature-b' so feaureB module is not doing it. Also this doesn't happen if I start on '/feature-b' and go to '/feature-a' which leads me to be believe that this has to do with a $watch. Might be related to #13 and #17

Example code:

angular.module('featureA', ['firebase'])
  .config ($routeProvider) ->
    $routeProvider
      .when '/featureA'
        templateUrl: 'feature-a/feature-a.tpl.html'
        controller: 'FeatureACtrl'

  .controller 'FeatureACtrl', ($scope, angularFire, FirebaseUrl) ->
    $scope.items = angularFire(FirebaseUrl, $scope, 'items', [])

angular.module('featureB', ['firebase'])
  .config ($routeProvider) ->
    $routeProvider
      .when '/featureB'
        templateUrl: 'feature-a/feature-a.tpl.html'
        controller: 'FeatureBCtrl'

  .controller 'FeatureBCtrl', ($scope, angularFire, FirebaseUrl) ->

using angularFire(FirebaseUrl, $scope, 'items', [])instead of $scope.items = angularFire(FirebaseUrl, $scope, 'items', []) may work.

[cgarvis]

@sbusso that does work.

This seems to be happening to me when I create a connection in node and on the front end. Reloading the browser deletes all my files.

Is there a known issue when connecting a front end and a back end to the same end point?

UPDATE

nm, seems to be a version issue from cdnjs

[anantn]

The cause of the issue was assigning the result of angularFire() to the scope - we've changed the example to make the return value explicitly a promise. Please re-open the issue if you experience any data loss with the latest version of angularFire: http://firebase.github.io/angularFire/angularFire.js (not that cdnjs doesn't have the latest version yet).

Having same issue on reset as well... Used modified version of code and ereases all data once reset.

code belows shows what i am doing.

controller('firebasetestcontroller', function($scope, angularFire) {

var url = "https://gym-bud.firebaseIO.com/events";
var promise = angularFire(url, $scope, 'events',[]);

promise.then(
        function() {


            $scope.addEvent = function() {
                $scope.events.push(
                        {eventName: $scope.eventName
                                    , locName: $scope.locName
                                    , eventLoc: $scope.eventLoc
                                    , timeCreated: new Date().getTime()
                                    , eventCreator: $scope.creator
                                    , eventDesc: $scope.eventDesc

                        }
                );



            };
        }


);

});
