Cancel/Reset Changes to a $firebaseObject

[Stephan L. Smith]

Not sure the best venue for this request. Not a bug. Is there a way to 'reset' or chancel changes made to a model? Or is there a way to force the $firebaseObject to fetch() data and discard any cached changes?

I have been able to extend the $firebaseObject with a $cancel that uses the ref to fetch the data again and update the model. But not certain this is the best way.

Rather than extend the $firebaseObject, wouldn't it be easier to just re-define/re-declare your model if wanted to reset it?

// this initially fetches the data
var model = $firebaseObject(ref);

// .. but say later in your code you setup a cancel button for your user
// this resets it and fetches the data again
model = $firebaseObject(ref);
