Switching Firebase instance on the fly?

[Eric Walti]

Hi there, I was thinking of playing with some sort of revisioning in my Ember app by storing things in Firebase under a different tree. As such I was thinking of changing the FB _ref on the fly but have been unable to do so. I tried:

Ember.getOwner(this).lookup('adapter:application').reopen({ _ref: new Firebase(`url/revisions/${revisionNumber}`) })

But that didn't seem to swap where EF is hitting for data. 

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks!

Hi Eric,

When you .reopen() a class it modifies the object prototype, however _ref is a property directly on the adapter instance.

Instead, you want to modify the instantiated adapter:

const adapter = Ember.getOwner(this).lookup('adapter:application');

adapter._ref = new Firebase('https://...');

That should get you what you want :)
