Error Handling about firebase-element

[kevinpschaaf]

Would a general on-error fired based on any error received back from Firebase meet your use case? That would be pretty trivial to add. Being able to tie the error back to the action that caused it is tricky given actions happen based on data mutation. I can add the former if that helps.

Yep, I think a general on-error would work great in my case. Once the error is fired, I can handle it based on the error code provided by firebase. The firebase code will tell me if permission is denied, or it is another type of data error so I can notify the user.

Is that just a matter of adding an error/cancel callback to each firebase query? I can put a pull request together for that, although I haven't done that process before. Just fork and pull request?

Yep, that's the process, although Google requires having a signed CLA on record for contributions (quick form here: https://cla.developers.google.com/clas). Although, I basically put this together yesterday, but didn't have a chance to mock up errors to test it... how about I'll put the PR up and you can test it on your end?
