How to change properties of firebase array using angularfire? - angularjs

Question

I get the correct record from the firebase array using the $getRecord but I can not save the changes made in the input fields. Our Add Controller works. What have we done wrong? Can anyone help? Thank you!
Edit Controller
app.controller("EditRecipeController", function($scope, $location, $routeParams, $firebaseArray) {
$scope.recipes.$loaded().then(function(recipeid) {
$scope.recipe = recipeid.$getRecord($routeParams.id);
$scope.editRecipe = function(recipe) {
$scope.recipes.$save(recipe).then(function() {
})};});});
Add Controller
app.controller("AddRecipeController", ["$scope", "createRecipes", function($scope, createRecipes) {
$scope.recipes = createRecipes;
$scope.addRecipe = function() {
$scope.recipes.$add({
title: $scope.title,
lead: $scope.lead,
keyword: $scope.keyword,
ingredient: $scope.ingredient,
instructions: $scope.instructions
});
alert("Your recipe has been succefully saved!")
// reset the recipe input
$scope.recipe = "";
};}]);
Factory
app.factory("createRecipes", ["$firebaseArray",function($firebaseArray) {
var ref = new Firebase("https://fiery-inferno-8595.firebaseio.com/recipes/");
return $firebaseArray(ref);}]);

You're edit function:
$scope.editRecipe = function(recipe){
$scope.recipes.$save(recipe).then(function(){});
}
is expecting the "recipe" to be passed in, but I don't see it being passed in anywhere. It looks like you are saving the current recipe to:
$scope.recipe
so if $scope.recipe has the correct object, I think you just have to save the scoped recipe opposed to passing it in.
$scope.editRecipe = function(){
$scope.recipes.$save($scope.recipe).then(function(){});
}
