Copy a $firebaseObject and save it to a different location

Question

In my application i\'m getting an object from my firebase using $firebaseObject. The use has two options with this object, change it and save the changes in the object or change

Answer 1

You can use $value field of $firebaseObject.

for instance:

var ref = new Firebase("https://.firebaseio.com");
var FBObj1 = $firebaseObject(ref.child('child'));
ref.child('newChild').set(FBObj1.$value);

EDIT:

Since this only works for primitives, you can try something like this:

function getObject(obj) {
    var newObj = {};
    for (var key in obj) {
       if (key.indexOf('$') < 0 && obj.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
          newObj[key] = obj[key];
       };
    }
    return newObj;
}

and use getObject(FBObj1) insetad of FBObj1.$value
