Thanks for the reply. The reason I asked about the set method is I noticed it was used in one of the examples not just for objects but for lists as well in the github doc here (https://github.com/angular/angularfire2/blob/master/docs/3-retrieving-data-as-lists.md)  Granted, set is not listed in the API summary table. But the example above is clearly using 'set' and I think I saw a pull request that made 'set' available for lists too. If this is incorrect, would you mind updating the docs please? Thanks!

You add to it with push. const list = this.afDb.list(url); list.push(value); or you can use an object to get the set method const myObject = this.afDb.object(url); myObject.set(key, value); btw, you might want to use update instead of set because set replaces all the data on the path with the value you pass. Go study the docs some more. — You are receiving this because you authored the thread.

@fancyydk This should either be removed from the docs or a PR is welcome to add the feature. The original PR was never finished, so it's up for grabs if you'd like it.
