Description

Often times, the your intent is to leverage the name of an object in Firebase as an "id" property of the object. But List essentially shunts these off into a names array, so that you don't have coordinated access to them in an #each loop over the content. Does one essentially need to adopt a different approach with ember-firebase of always explicitly storing a value for an id alongside other properties, if that's what you need? Or is there something clever I'm not thinking of to get this kind of access?

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the Firebase List binding and how its names array is exposed during an Ember #each loop; done means determining and documenting or supporting a clear way to access each object's Firebase name as an id.
