I am looking to increment several counters with Firebase transactions and also add set a new value in firebase. The key being I want to make sure it is all successful or not save any of the data.
I imagine this would be best done with promises? Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with them
So far I have:
$scope.addNewPost = function() {
var ref = new Firebase(FBURL).child('/posts').push();
var onComplete = function(error) {
if (error) {
alert('Error: Something went wrong when creating your post please try again');
throw new Error(error);
} else {
$scope.reset(); // or redirect to post
}
};
var tags = $scope.post.tags.split(', ');
console.log(tags);
angular.forEach(tags, function(value, index){
var refTag = new Firebase(FBURL).child('/tags/' + value);
refTag.transaction(function(current_value) {
return current_value + 1;
});
});
ref.set($scope.post, onComplete);
};
Could anyone point me towards some references on how I can achieve this or offer advice? Perhaps there is an better Angularfire way to do this?
