 **What is it?** - The current state of your collection. Returns an Observable of data as a synchronized array of JSON objects. All Snapshot metadata is stripped and just the document data is included. Optionally, you can pass an options object with an `idField` key containing a string. If provided, the returned JSON objects will include their document ID mapped to a property with the name provided by `idField`.

 **Why would you use it?** - When you just need the object data. No document metadata is attached which makes it simple to render to a view.
 
-**When would you not use it?** - When you need the `id` of the document to use data manipulation methods. This method assumes you either are saving the `id` to the document data or using a "readonly" approach.
