Hello, My application is a task-scheduler operated by commands entered into a text input box.
I have a synced array obtained by using AngularFire's $asArray() method. I'd like to add "indices" or "handles" to the tasks so that they are numbered 1,2,3 etc... (so the user can type "del 2" to delete task 2 for example). The handles must only exist in the current view/user session, not be persisted. I want to keep the numbers short to type. It doesn't matter if the handles change from one session or page refresh to the next (using ngRoute so it's single-page app) and it doesn't matter if they end up non continuous or non-sequential at times. I am not wanting to use the index position in the array, as I that is unreliable in an asynchronous environment where the underlying array can be changed at source. So far my solutions are: a) append a "handle" property to each item in the array that I can set on initial loading. But then the handle will be persisted to the database whenever I save, which I don't want. b) build a register of what handles correspond to which instances in the array. It would have to be a two-way thing as I want to determine the handle from the instance to display it, and get the instance from the handle when it comes to saving it. I am not sure if the solution relates more to javascript, angular, angularfire or firebase. Pretty new to it all. I'm tempted to just go with option "b", but I thought I'd ask on here first in case there was an existing solution to that, and I'm also curious how one would go about option "a" (i.e. appending properties that aren't persisted by angular) assuming that's what I wanted to do for whatever reason. Or any idea/suggestions? Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AngularJS" group.
