I created two seperate schemas for payments collection and memberProfile. Now I need to create a quickform so I could load all the payments relevant to a unique memberProfile.
//The code for memberPayment collection
MemberProfiles = new Mongo.Collection('memberProfiles');
RecipeSchema = new SimpleSchema({
name: {
type: String,
label: "Name"
},
desc: {
type: String,
label: "Description"
},
payments:{
type: [PaymentSchema],
autoValue: function () {
return Payments.find({ memberId="uniqueId"});
},
defaultValue: function () {
return Payments.find({memberId="uniqueId"});
},
},
// The code for payments collection
PaymentSchema = new SimpleSchema({
name:{
type: String
},
amount:{
type: String
},
memberId:{
type: String
},
});
This code doesn't work.
Looks like you're missing the schema attribute. Any autoform needs to take in a schema attribute that explicitly tells autoform to use that schema to generate the necessary form. Check this page out for demos using autoform.
{{> quickForm collection="theMongoCollection" id="theFormID" schema="theSchemaName" type="typeOfForm" }}

I am trying to build a kind of specific simple schema for a collection and i would like to make sure that :
when the user enter a new select in my selectsCollection, he will put one of the options value as selected value.
For example:
SelectsCollection.insert({name:"SelectOne",deviceType:"Select",options:["option1","option2","option3"],value:"option4",description:"This is the first select"});
this do not have to work. I want him to write only one of the 3 options.
Here my schema :
SelectsCollection = new Mongo.Collection('Selects'); //Create a table
SelectsSchema = new SimpleSchema({
name:{
type: String,
label:"Name",
unique:true
},
deviceType:{
type: String,
allowedValues: ['Select'],
label:"Type of Device"
},
options:{
type: [String],
minCount:2,
maxcount:5,
label:"Select Values"
},
value:{
type: String,
//allowedValues:[options] a kind of syntax
// or allowedValues:function(){ // some instructions to retrieve the array of string of the option field ?}
label:"Selected Value"
},
description:{
type: String,
label:"Description"
},
createdAt:{
type: Date,
label:"Created At",
autoValue: function(){
return new Date()
}
}
});
SelectsCollection.attachSchema(SelectsSchema);
Any Idea ? :)
Thanks a lot !
This could be done with custom validation function of a field, inside this function you could retrieve values from other fields:
SelectsSchema = new SimpleSchema({
// ...
options: {
type: [String],
minCount: 2,
maxcount: 5,
label: "Select Values"
},
value: {
label: "Selected Value",
type: String,
optional: true,
custom() {
const options = this.field('options').value
const value = this.value
if (!value) {
return 'required'
}
if (options.indexOf(value) === -1) {
return 'notAllowed'
}
}
},
// ...
});

I am trying to get subschemas to work as an array, which I assume is the correct way to handle my problem (but please correct me if I am wrong!). I provide a simplified working example to show my problem, based on the BooksSchema example provided by the AutoForm package. In my example, I have a collection of Libraries, and one of the fields in the 'Libraries' object is supposed to be the library's collection of books. Rendering the AutoForm does not give me any input labels as defined in my Book collection, but instead just shows one (1) empty text input field.
Schemas:
import SimpleSchema from 'simpl-schema';
SimpleSchema.extendOptions(['autoform']);
BooksSchema = new SimpleSchema({
title: {
type: String,
label: "Title",
max: 200
},
author: {
type: String,
label: "Author"
},
copies: {
type: Number,
label: "Number of copies",
min: 0
},
lastCheckedOut: {
type: Date,
label: "Last date this book was checked out",
optional: true
},
summary: {
type: String,
label: "Brief summary",
optional: true,
max: 1000
}
}, { tracker: Tracker });
LibrariesSchema = new SimpleSchema({
collection: {
type: Array
},
'collection.$': {
type: BooksSchema,
minCount: 1
}
});
LibrariesSchema.extend(BooksSchema);
Libraries = new Mongo.Collection("libraries");
Libraries.attachSchema(LibrariesSchema);
AutoForm:
{{> quickForm collection="Libraries" id="insertBookForm" type="insert"}}
Thank you so much in advance for your time, really been struggling with this for a long time now!
In my case I was indeed able to resolve the issue by using John Smith's example without the brackets.
LibrariesSchema = new SimpleSchema({
'books': {
type: BooksSchema,
minCount: 1
}
});
LibrariesSchema = new SimpleSchema({
'books': {
type: [BooksSchema],
minCount: 1
}
});
Arrays of a specific types, for use in check() or schema definitions, are specified as [SomeType], eg. [String], or [BooksSchema] in your case.
I'm writing to this collection:
GiftCards = new Mongo.Collection('giftcards');
GiftCards.attachSchema(new SimpleSchema({
cardType: {
type: String
},
cardValue: {
type: Number,
defaultValue: 100
},
fileId: {
type: String,
autoform: {
afFieldInput: {
type: "fileUpload",
collection: "Images"
}
}
}
}));
Images = new FS.Collection("images", {
stores: [new FS.Store.FileSystem("images", {path: "public/uploads"})]
});
With a form made with AutoForm.
{{> quickForm collection="GiftCards" id="giftCardsForm" type="insert"}}
Data is written, but I don't find a way to show the image associated with every document in the collection......I have only the id (in fileId) and don't find the way to publish correctly image with specific documents it refers...
It looks like your GiftCards collection includes a single foreign key reference to the Images collection as fileId. This is actually just like SQL in the sense that the primary key of the Images collection is used as a foreign key in GiftCards.
Now you want to display a gift card and its related single image.
<template name="showOneGiftCard">
Type: {{type}}, value: {{value}} <img src={{url}}/>
</template>
Then you need a helper to return the url of the image:
Template.showOneGiftCard.helpers({
url: function(){
var img = Images.findOne(this.fileId); // 'this' is the data context of one GiftCard
return img && img.url(); // will return undefined if there's no attached image
}
});
I have global variable that store the url of the uploaded image by the user.
how do i add that variable as an attribute in the document before adding it to the database?
here is my code
Meteor.methods({
submitPost: function (app) {
// Console.log('new App:', app);
check(app, {
title: String,
description: String,
category: String,
price: Number
});
Products.insert(app);
}
});
i want to add the global variable inside "app" before inserting it in Products collection
How do i do it?
This is what i added in the collection
previewImage: {
type: String,
autoValue: function(){
return PIurl;
},
autoform: {
type: "hidden"
}
},
createdAt:{
type: String,
autoValue: function(){
return new Date();
},
autoform: {
type: "hidden"
}
}
}));
after i added the above code, nothing happens when i click on submit, the form is no longer stored in the database
Two ways you can achieve this, the first is to use AutoForm.hooks onSubmit hook autoform hooks. The other way is to add it to your schema with the object attribute of autoValue :
Schema.something = new SimpleSchema({
category: {
type: String,
autoValue: function () {
return "foo";
}
},
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];
}
}
}
});
