How to send html external template in meteor? - meteor

I am using Accounts.emailTemplates.enrollAccount.html.
I can send e-mail successfully using this code:
Accounts.emailTemplates.enrollAccount.html = function(user, url) {
return '<h1>Thank you </h1><br/>Verify eMail';
};
But what I want to do is, I have one external file called email.html and I want to send that file as an e-mail.
My code
Accounts.emailTemplates.enrollAccount.html = function(user, url) {
// i want to send email.html file from here or if you have other way
};
Thank You.

You can use the meteor package meteorhacks:ssr like that :
Accounts.emailTemplates.enrollAccount.html = function(user, url) {
SSR.compileTemplate('htmlEmailVerify', Assets.getText('email.html'));
return SSR.render('htmlEmailVerify', {user: user, url: url});
};
And you can get the data inside the email html code with spacebars tags :
{{user}} & {{url}}

Sending attachment file via http post request

I'm trying to send attachment file from youtrack to another system (in this example to trello) without the use of image url but its content
I cannot send it as image url in youtrack because my system is closed and accessible to only those that have vpn.
Problem is with reading inputStream from content of attachement in workflow. I symply have no idea how to do it and youtrack documentation havent touched it (as far as my research goes)
Code: (with truncated not important parts)
//...
exports.rule = entities.Issue.onChange({
//...
action: function(ctx) {
//...
var link = '/1/cards/' + issue['trelloIssueId'] + '/attachments';
issue.comments.added.forEach(function(comment) {
comment.attachments.forEach(function(attachment) {
var response = connection.postSync(link, {
name: attachment.name,
file: attachment.content,
mimeType: attachment.mimeType
});
//...
});
});
},
requirements: {}
});
from this I got error:
TypeError: invokeMember (forEach) on jetbrains.youtrack.workflow.sandbox.InputStreamWrapper#677a561f failed due to: Unknown identifier: forEach
How do I have to prepare content to ba abble to send it with postSync method?
It looks like you tried to iterate over issue.comments.added while the loop should be executed over issue.comments as there is no added key for an issue's comments Set as per the following documentation page suggest: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/youtrack/devportal/v1-Issue.html
Please let me know if that works.

how to add attachments in email package in Meteor

It looks like the email package in Meteor now allows adding attachments similar to how MailComposer does. On my server I have:
Meteor.startup( function() {
process.env.MAIL_URL = "smtp://<my maligun info here>";
});
Meteor.methods({
sendEmail: function (to, from, subject, text, attachment) {
// Let other method calls from the same client start running,
// without waiting for the email sending to complete.
this.unblock();
Email.send({
to: to,
from: from,
subject: subject,
text: text,
attachment: attachment
});
}
});
Inside the app I'll have a helper like:
Template.donateEmail.events({
'click #send-donate-email': function() {
var attachment = {
fileName: "Demographics3.numbers",
filePath: "/Users/Opal/Desktop/Demographics3.numbers"
};
var emailCompose = document.getElementById('compose-donate-email').value;
var emailSubject = document.getElementById('subject-donate-email').value;
Meteor.call('sendEmail',
"some#email.com", //Session.get('keyDonateEmailSendList'),
'some2#email.com',
emailSubject,
emailCompose,
attachment)
}
});
I can get emails to send, but sending but there's no attachments. And the documentation is confusing. Anyone have any more info on this? I'm missing something somewhere.
Problem solved. Two mistakes in my code. In the Email.send method, it needs to read
"attachments: <some name>" not "attachment: <some name>".
The second issue is the making sure one specifies the correct absolute path, which in my case on a Mac would be:
"Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Users/Opal/Desktop/<filename>"
I have found that Apple .numbers files aren't openable, but they will attach. Other files should be OK.

Meteor.userId() not available in ConnectHandlers

I am trying to create a file upload feature in Meteor where a logged in user is able to upload a file to the server under a directory named after their username. I have the basics working but when I take it a step further by checking the logged in user ID, things start breaking. Specifically:
WebApp.connectHandlers.use('/upload/', function(req, res) {
if (this.userId) {
// Do cool stuff.
} else {
res.writeHead(500, {"content-type":"text/html"});
res.end("this.userId = " + this.userId); // End the response.
}
});
Result:
this.userId = undefined
And...
WebApp.connectHandlers.use('/upload/', function(req, res) {
if (Meteor.userId()) {
// Do cool stuff.
} else {
res.writeHead(500, {"content-type":"text/html"});
res.end("Meteor.userId() = " + Meteor.userId()); // End the response.
}
});
Result:
Error: Meteor.userId can only be invoked in method calls. Use this.userId in publish functions.

The code above is included in a Meteor package I'm developing. The package.js file specifies that the code should run on the server:
api.add_files("upload.js", "server");
So my questions are:
What is the correct way to check the logged in user ID and username?
Can this code be moved to an Iron Router route instead?
It looks like the line
WebApp.connectHandlers.use('/upload/', function(req, res) {
Is Express.js or similar code -- if so, you have broken out of the Meteor frameowrk providing your own REST services etc. If that is the case you also have to provide your own user management and authentication scheme for incoming REST calls, just as you would in any other bare-bones REST applications

Meteor File Upload Not Working

I've added the packages cfs:standard-packages and cfs:filesystem to my meteor project.
I want to upload featured images for my blog using a form with this input.
<div class="form-group">
<label for="featuredImage">Featured Image</label>
<input type="file" id="fImage" required>
<p class="help-block">Please choose an image file.</p>
</div>
And the event javascript
Template.AddPost.events({
'change #fImage': function(event, template) {
var image = template.find('[id=fImage]').value;
var lastIndex = image.lastIndexOf("\\");
if (lastIndex >= 0) {
image = image.substring(lastIndex + 1);
}
if (!image.match(/\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$/)) {
alert("not an image");
} else {
FS.Utility.eachFile(event, function(file) {
var fileObj = new FS.File(file);
Meteor.call('uploadFeaturedImage', fileObj);
});
}
}
});
The 'uploadFeaturedImage' method on the server is
Meteor.methods({
'uploadFeaturedImage': function(fileObj){
Uploads.insert(fileObj, function(err){
console.log(err);
});
}
});
When i choose an image file to upload i get this error -
"Exception while invoking method 'uploadFeaturedImage' Error: DataMan constructor received data that it doesn't support"
Anyone have any ideas why this is happening? Thank you.
I copied some explanation from the collectionFS documentation because it is really good described there.
When you need to insert a file that's located on a client, always call myFSCollection.insert on the client. While you could define your own method, pass it the fsFile, and call myFSCollection.insert on the server, the difficulty is with getting the data from the client to the server. When you pass the fsFile to your method, only the file info is sent and not the data. By contrast, when you do the insert directly on the client, it automatically chunks the file's data after insert, and then queues it to be sent chunk by chunk to the server. And then there is the matter of recombining all those chunks on the server and stuffing the data back into the fsFile. So doing client-side inserts actually saves you all of this complex work, and that's why we recommend it.
Have a look at HERE
So your method is not working because no data is sent to the server.

How do I setup meteor to receive events from an external API?

I have registered my web address (let's just call it https://mywebaddress/callbacks) with this external API and it will now send me JSON when it completes an action. I don't need to initiate anything outbound to it, I just need to receive the JSON and store it.
EDIT:
JSON data will be receive via POST
Paul's link sent me in the right direction. (http://www.meteorpedia.com/read/REST_API).
Then I found the section titled "WebApp.connectHandlers and connect".
I used the code found there, but in my instance there was an error in the code. I had to change the first line from var connect = Npm.require('connect'); to var connect = Meteor.require('connect');
Here is the code below.
// necessary to parse POST data
var connect = Meteor.require('connect');
// necessary for Collection use and other wrapped methods
var Fiber = Npm.require('fibers');
WebApp.connectHandlers
.use(connect.urlencoded()) // these two replace
.use(connect.json()) // the old bodyParser
.use('/getUserProfile', function(req, res, next) {
// necessary for Collection use and other wrapped methods
Fiber(function() {
var userId = req.body.userId;
var user = Meteor.users.findOne(userId);
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'application/json'});
res.end(JSON.stringify(user.profile));
}).run();
});
}
Then to test that this was working I used http://www.hurl.it/. I changed the destination to POST and added a header of content-type - application/json. I then pasted in the body some JSON that I knew came from balanced. If you need a tool to see what is actually being posted to your server you can use http://requestb.in/.
