If writes are made offline followed by a page refresh, the writes will be sent when a connection becomes available.
In addition to wrapping most database features from AngularFire2, a minimal amount of offline specific features are provided:
promise.offline.then()
.const promise = this.afoDatabase.object('car').update({maxSpeed: 100});
promise.offline.then(() => console.log('offline data saved to device storage!'));
promise.then(() => console.log('data saved to Firebase!'));

reset
- delete offline dataThe reset
method is useful for deleting sensitive data when a user signs out of an application. This also helps prevent permission errors when using Firebase auth.
reset
with cautionIf writes are made while offline reset
will delete them before they can reach Firebase.
reset
exampleonUserSignout() {
this.afoDatabase.reset()
}
reset
on specific referencesYou can reset
a specific Firebase reference by passing the reference string to the reset
method
onUserSignout() {
this.afoDatabase.reset('my/firebase/ref')
}
