What's the best practice for accessing the "user" object from a directive
with an isolated scope? In the previous version of the angularfire seed,
the auth.user object was simply stored in the rootscope - was the logic
rewritten to make authentication more secure? If so, I don't want to undo
those benefits by needlessly passing around the "user" object. Can someone
help by elaborating here? Thanks!

    Nothing has changed regarding $firebaseSimpleLogin in the latest release.
    We'll be reviewing it and probably making some API updates before the 1.0
    milestone, but for now, it remains as-is.

    Cheers,

    Whoops - I deleted the original question by accident. Thanks for the
    response. I suppose I was referring more to the structure of the updated
    angularfire-seed rather than $firebaseSimpleLogin. It looks like the
    "simpleLogin" factory was rewritten, and authentication in app.js no longer
    stores the login object in $rootScope.auth. What's the rationale behind
    this change? Why is it better not to store the login object in $rootScope?
    If not storing in $rootScope, what's the best practice for persisting a uid
    that all directives can access? Thanks!

    To elaborate, my current solution is just to add a "returnUser: function() {return
    auth.user;}" function to the "simpleLogin" factory and it works fine. I am
    probably overthinking the security implications :).

    simpleLogin already has a user object on it
    <https://github.com/firebase/angularfire-seed/blob/master/app/js/simpleLogin.js#L29>
    (to
    be used when you're sure the user is already loaded) as well as a getUser
    method (to be used when you aren't sure login will be loaded yet; this one
    is good for use in your resolve methods). But again, the best method is
    just to use resolve in the router and pass the user object into the
    controller as a dependency in most cases.

    Kathy,

    You're free to put it into $rootScope if that's easiest. In general, you
    can just inject the simpleLogin dependency and get the id as needed, so it
    doesn't seem necessary to throw around globals. But this is simply a
    pragmatic programming principle and you're free to disagree.

    If you're getting the user in your directives just to see if they are
    logged in, you probably don't need to. You should probably just
    utilize a resolve
    in the router
    <https://github.com/firebase/angularfire-seed/blob/master/app/js/routes.js#L14>
    to make sure they are logged in ahead of time--keep things DRY. If you're
    doing something specific to authentication, check out the ngShowAuth and
    ngHideAuth
    <https://github.com/firebase/angularfire-seed/blob/master/app/js/directives.js>
    directives for examples of how to inject simpleLogin and utilize it.

    Cheers,
