Changes

No more console warnings for autoSync components!
In this release all of the console.warn() messages for autoSync components have been removed. When calling fetch() on either a Backbone.Firebase.Model or Backbone.Firebase.Collection, the sync event is triggered with the local data. success and error options will fire off if provided.

var Model = Backbone.Firebase.Model.extend({
  urlRoot: 'https://<your-firebase>.firebaseio.com/users'
});

var Collection = Backbone.Firebase.Model.extend({
  url: 'https://<your-firebase>.firebaseio.com/users'
});

var collection = new Collection();

var model = new Model({
  id: 'david'
});

/*
   The fetch() methods below will wait until the initial response have been received from the
   server and then fire off the sync event.
*/

collection.fetch({
  success: function (data) {
    console.log(data);
  }
});

model.fetch({
  success: function (data) {
    console.log(data);
  }
});

Missed the cut, but on the radar

• Trigger an event when an object has reached the server #10 — Trigger an event when an object has reached the server. We still need to discuss this further.
• Provide CommonJS support #69 — Provide CommonJS support. This is possible, but nothing has been implemented yet. Should be released in the near future.
• unable to override Backbone.Firebase.Model#sync (and friends) #133 — unable to override Backbone.Firebase.Model#sync. This is needed, but will take a fair amount of effort.
• Provide customization of initial data sync #134 — Provide customization of initial data sync. Needs more discussion.
