Angularfirecollection return object instead of array

Question

Before using angularFireCollection() I was using angularFire(). But angularFire listening on value instead of childs so someone suggest me to use angularFireCollection.

But now angularFireCollection return arrays. =.=

So any idea in this situation?

I want my data return in objects and listening on childs.

angularFireCollection returns an array in order to ensure the order of items in it matches the priorities set on the server. You'll get an array of Objects, what specifically are you trying to do that you can't do with arrays but can with objects? — Anant

The reason I want to use objects is I want to retrieve the keys. You answered it in my previous question. ng-repeat="(key, val) in objects". @Anant — vzhen

To access the key names from the array returned by angularFireCollection, you can use the $id property:

<ul>
  <li ng-repeat="item in items">{{item.$id}}: {{item.val}}</li>
</ul>
<script>
  $scope.items = angularFireCollection(new Firebase(url));
</script>
