Have a usage question?

We get lots of those and we love helping you, but GitHub is not the best place for them. Issues which just ask about usage will be closed. Here are some resources to get help:

• Start with the quickstart: https://www.firebase.com/docs/web/libraries/ember/quickstart.html
• Go through the tutorial: https://www.firebase.com/docs/web/libraries/ember/guide.html
• Read the full API reference: https://www.firebase.com/docs/web/libraries/ember/api.html
• See the example app: https://github.com/firebase/emberfire/tree/master/tests/dummy

If our docs and examples don't help, you can reach us through one of the following channels:

• Ask a question with the #firebase and #emberfire tags on Stack Overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask?tags=emberfire,firebase
• Start a new thread on the Firebase Google Group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/firebase-talk
• Join the Firebase Slack community: https://firebase-community.slack.com

Please avoid double posting across multiple channels!

Think you found a bug?

Yeah, we're definitely not perfect!

Search through old issues before submitting a new issue as your question may have already been answered.

If your issue appears to be a bug, and hasn't been reported, open a new issue. Please use the provided bug report template and include a minimal repro.

If you are up to the challenge, submit a Pull Request with a fix!

Have a feature request?

Great, we love hearing how we can improve our products! After making sure someone hasn't already requested the feature in the existing issues, go ahead and open a new issue. Feel free to remove the bug report template and instead provide an explanation of your feature request. Provide code samples if applicable. Try to think about what it will allow you to do that you can't do today? How will it make current workarounds straightforward? What potential bugs and edge cases does it help to avoid?

Want to submit a pull request?

Sweet, we'd love to accept your contribution! Open a new pull request and fill out the provided form.

If you want to implement a new feature, please open an issue with a proposal first so that we can figure out if the feature makes sense and how it will work.

Make sure your changes pass our linter and the tests all pass on your local machine. We've hooked up this repo with continuous integration to double check those things for you.

Most non-trivial changes should include some extra test coverage. If you aren't sure how to add tests, feel free to submit regardless and ask us for some advice.

Finally, you will need to sign our Contributor License Agreement before we can accept your pull request.

Need to get set up locally?

If you'd like to contribute to EmberFire, run the following commands to get your environment set up:

Setup

• git clone this repository
• npm install -g ember-cli bower gulp
• npm install
• bower install

Running tests

• ember test OR
• ember test --server

Running tests against a specific version of ember-data

• ember try:one <scenario> where <scenario> is one of the scenarios in config/ember-try.js

Example:

ember try:one ember-data-canary

Running the FireBlog demo app

• ember server
• Visit your app at http://localhost:4200.

Using your local EmberFire workdir in another local project

From your emberfire workdir

• npm link
• npm prune --production (removes dev dependencies, these can trip you up!)

From your app workdir

• npm link emberfire

• Update your package.json so that emberfire is in devDependencies and is set to version 0.0.0

  "devDependencies": {
    "emberfire": "0.0.0"
