I'm trying to get a single text field to insert a string into my collection. I'm getting this error:
Exception while invoking method 'categories.insert' TypeError: func is not a function

Here is my Schema:
import { Mongo } from 'meteor/mongo';
var Categories = new Mongo.Collection('categories');
const CategorySchema = new SimpleSchema({
title: {
type: String,
label: "Title",
max: 255,
optional: true
},
created: {
type: Date,
label: "Date Category Created",
autoValue: () => {
if(this.isInsert){
return new Date();
}
}
},
updated: {
type: Date,
label: "Date Category Modified",
autoValue: () => {
if(this.isUpdate){
return new Date();
}
}
}
});
Categories.attachSchema(CategorySchema);
export default Categories;
The method to be called:
import { check } from 'meteor/check';
import { Categories, Elections, Nominees, Users, Votes } from '../collections';
Meteor.methods({
'categories.insert'(title){
check(title, String);
return Categories.insert({title: title});
}
});
And then I call it:
...
Template.settings.events({
'click #newCategoryButton'(e){
let title = $("#newCategoryInput").val();
Meteor.call('categories.insert', title, (error, response) => {});
}
});
...
I can get it to work if I add {validate: false} to my insert statement, which leads me to believe that it's a validation issue. I've gone through all the docs and a few blogs and tuts but can't find any instructions on how to insert data to my collection when using collection2 and simple-schema if it's not that standard way. In fact, if you scroll a few lines up on the collection2 documenation, the insert call is shown in basically the same form as I've written it.
I don't want to pass {validate: false} in with my insert calls as it defeats the purpose of adding a schema to my collections in the first place.
Desperate for help, been stuck on this for hours.

I'm working a project developing by Meteor.js & now I'm working for a validation something like that
import SimpleSchema from 'simpl-schema';
const CompanySchema = new SimpleSchema({
company_name: {
type: String,
min: 5,
max: 50,
label: "Company Name"
}
});
Company.attachSchema(CompanySchema);
but in the console showing like below image
but when trying to keep the "Error" like this way
console.log(err.Error);
it's showing
undefined
here is insert functionalities
Company.insert(
{
company_name: inputs.companyName.value,
},
function(err) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log('Inserted successfully');
}
}
);
what's the issue actually.
Thanks
When your client-side Mongo insert fails it produces a native Error. If you log it's name, message and stack it shows the expected properties of an Error:
Company.insert(
{
company_name: inputs.companyName.value,
},
function(err) {
if (err) {
console.log(err.name);
console.log(err.message);
console.log(err.stack);
}
}
);
Produces:
Error
Company Name must be at least 5 characters in company insert
Error: Company Name must be at least 5 characters in company insert

The attribute err.error in contrast is part of the Meteor.Error, which is thrown if the insert fails inside a Meteor Method.
This would be the case for example in such code:
Meteor.call('someInserMethod', { company_name: 'abc' }, (err, res) => {
console.log(err) // this error is a Meteor.Error
})
Using SimpleSchema in Meteor with the AutoForm + Select2 plugins , i am trying to generate the Options for a Select field from the database.
The 'occupation' collection is published, and a collection 'Occupation' is defined in Meteor.
In SimpleSchema I have this:-
occupations: {
type: [String],
optional:true,
label: 'Occupation',
autoform:{
type:"select2",
placeholder: 'Comma spaced list of occupations',
options: function () {
Meteor.subscribe('occupations');
return Occupations.find({});
}
}
},
But it does not return the collection results, and crashes the application without an error message.
It seems the best way to handle this is to supply the options list through a helper.
{{> afQuickField name='occupations' multiple=true tags=true options=listOccupations}}
Where listOccupations is a helper within the template containing the form.
Template.myForm.helpers({
listOccupations: function () {
Meteor.subscribe('occupations');
return Occupations.find({}).fetch();
}
});
And we remove the options object from the schena
occupations: {
type: [String],
optional:true,
label: 'Occupation',
autoform:{
type:"select2",
placeholder: 'Comma spaced list of occupations',
}
},
Have you tried, this approach:
autoform: {
options: {
var occupations = [];
Occupations.find().map(function(occ) {
occupations.push(
{label: occ.description, value: occ._id}
);
});
return occupations;
}
}
hope this helps..
I had the same issue. I'm defining my collections schema in /lib/collections folder, and that is running on both server and client side. Given that, the console.log that I had was printing the correct values on server side and an empty array on client side.
What I did was:
if (Meteor.isClient){
Meteor.subscribe('service-categories-list', {
onReady: function(){
const serviceCategories = ServiceCategories.find({}).map(function(item, index) {
return {
label: item.name,
value: item.slug
};
});
Schema2._schema.type.autoform.options = serviceCategories;
}
})
}
I know that using the _schema is not a good idea, but I accept suggestions :)
I'm trying to validate my data against a SimpleSchema before it gets submitted to the collection but for some reason I'm not able to do so with this error.
Exception while invoking method 'createVendorCategory' { stack: 'TypeError: Cannot call method \'simpleSchema\' of undefined
I have one collections with two SimpleSchemas as follows.
Vendors = new Mongo.Collection('vendors'); //Define the collection.
VendorCategoriesSchema = new SimpleSchema({
name: {
type: String,
label: "Category"
},
slug: {
type: String,
label: "Slug"
},
createdAt : {
type: Date,
label: "Created At",
autoValue: function(){
return new Date()//return the current date timestamp to the schema
}
}
});
VendorSchema = new SimpleSchema({
name: {
type: String,
label: "Name"
},
phone: {
type: String,
label: "Phone"
},
vendorCategories:{
type: [VendorCategoriesSchema],
optional: true
}
});
Vendors.attachSchema(VendorSchema);
The vendorCategory will be added after the Vendor document is created by the user.
Here is what my client side looks like.
Template.addCategory.events({
'click #app-vendor-category-submit': function(e,t){
var category = {
vendorID: Session.get("currentViewingVendor"),
name: $.trim(t.find('#app-cat-name').value),
slug: $.trim(t.find('#app-cat-slug').value),
};
Meteor.call('createVendorCategory', category, function(error) {
//Server-side validation
if (error) {
alert(error);
}
});
}
});
And here is what my server side Meteor.methods look like
createVendorCategory: function(category)
{
var vendorID = Vendors.findOne(category.vendorID);
if(!vendorID){
throw new Meteor.Error(403, 'This Vendor is not found!');
}
//build the arr to be passed to collection
var vendorCategories = {
name: category.name,
slug: category.slug
}
var isValid = check( vendorCategories, VendorSchema.vendorCategories.simpleSchema());//This is not working?
if(isValid){
Vendors.update(VendorID, vendorCategories);
// return vendorReview;
console.log(vendorCategories);
}
else{
throw new Meteor.Error(403, 'Data is not valid');
}
}
I'm guessing this is where the error is coming from.
var isValid = check( vendorCategories, VendorSchema.vendorCategories.simpleSchema());//This is not working?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Since you've already defined a sub-schema for the sub-object you can directly check against that:
check(vendorCategories,VendorCategoriesSchema)
In my Meteor app, I have a simple array field called relatedSentences. It is defined using SimpleSchema
relatedSentences: {
type: [String],
label: "Related Sentence",
optional: false,
defaultValue: []
},
It's data can be seen in the Mongo console:
"_id" : "ei96FFfFdmhPXxRWb",
"sentence" : "the newest one",
"relatedSentences" : [
"Ls6EyBkbcotcyfLyw",
"6HKQroCjZhG9YCuBt"
],
"createdAt" : ISODate("2015-10-25T11:21:25.338Z"),
"updatedAt" : ISODate("2015-10-25T11:41:39.691Z")
But when I try to access this field using this, it is returned as a raw string.
Template.showSentence.helpers({
translations: function() {
console.log("related: " + this.relatedSentences);
Meteor.subscribe('sentences', function() {
var relatedSentences = Sentences.find({_id: {$in: this.relatedSentences} }).fetch();
console.log("rel count" + relatedSentences.length);
return relatedSentences;
});
}
});
In the console I get an error. See the return value from the this.relatedSentences. It is the contents of the array as a string, with a comma interpolated.
related: Ls6EyBkbcotcyfLyw,6HKQroCjZhG9YCuBt
selector.js:595 Uncaught Error: $in needs an array
Not sure what is going on here.
Some Progress
I have made some progress, but not yet at a solution. By adding blackbox: true to the SimpleSchema definition, what looks like an array is now returned... but alas it is still failing. See below.
relatedSentences: {
type: [String],
label: "Related Sentence",
optional: false,
blackbox: true,
defaultValue: []
},
Now I get the results below in the console. The values are now being returned as a quoted array, which is what I expected. But the $in is still not seeing it as an array.
["Ls6EyBkbcotcyfLyw", "6HKQroCjZhG9YCuBt"]
selector.js:595 Uncaught Error: $in needs an array
How did the data get populated
In answer to #Kyll - this is how the data was originally populated. I am using AutoForm,
{{> afQuickField name='relatedSentences.0' value=this._id type="hidden"}}
but then adding the array data via a hook.
AutoForm.addHooks('translateForm', {
onSuccess: function (operation, result, template) {
Meteor.subscribe('sentences', function() {
var translatedSentence = Sentences.findOne(result);
var originalSentenceId = translatedSentence.relatedSentences[0]
Sentences.update(
{ _id: originalSentenceId},
{ $push: { relatedSentences: result}
});
Router.go('showSentence',{ _id: originalSentenceId } );
});
}
});
The problem here is the scope of this. You are referring to it inside the subscribe function, where this has a different context. Set a varibale to this in the context where it works, then use that variable instead:
Template.showSentence.helpers({
translations: function() {
console.log("related: " + this.relatedSentences);
var this_related_sentences = this.relatedSentences;
Meteor.subscribe('sentences', function() {
var relatedSentences = Sentences.find({_id: {$in: this_related_sentences} }).fetch();
console.log("rel count" + relatedSentences.length);
return relatedSentences;
});
}
});
I have the following SimpleSchema
Schema.Team = new SimpleSchema({
name:{
type:String
},
members: {
type: [Schema.User],
optional:true
}
});
I would like to insert (on the server) a new team document with the current user, as a reference (not as an embedded document).
I have tried:
Teams.insert({name:"theName",members:[Meteor.user()]}) // works but insert the user as an embedded doc.
Teams.insert({name:"theName",members:[Meteor.user()._id]}) // Error: 0 must be an object
I have also tried in two steps:
var id = Teams.insert({name:teamName});
Teams.update({ _id: id },{ $push: { 'users': Meteor.user()._id } });
Then I have another error I don't understand: Error: When the modifier option is true, validation object must have at least one operator
So how can I insert a document with a reference to another schema?
If you just want to store an array of userIds in your Team collection try:
Schema.Team = new SimpleSchema({
name:{
type:String
},
members: {
type: [String],
optional:true
}
});
Then
Teams.insert({ name: "theName", members: [Meteor.userId()] });
Should work. Later when you want to add an additional id you can just:
Teams.update({ _id: teamId },{ $addToSet: { members: Meteor.userId() }});
The following is probably the syntax you are after, assuming you are also using AutoForm.
If you are using collection2, you can also add an autovalue for when a team is created to automatically add the creator to that team for more convenience.
Schema.Team = new SimpleSchema({
name: {
type:String
},
members: {
type: [String],
defaultValue: [],
allowedValues: function () {
// only allow references to the user collection.
return Meteor.users.find().map(function (doc) {
return doc._id
});
},
autoform: {
// if using autoform, this will display their username as the option instead of their id.
options: function () {
return Meteor.users.find().map(function (doc) {
return {
value: doc._id,
label: doc.username // or something
}
})
}
},
autoValue: function () {
if (this.isInsert && !this.isFromTrustedCode) {
return [this.userId];
}
}
}
});
