Simple image uploading with collection fs - meteor

Question

I have installed collection fs package to process my image uploads and so far,i have not uploaded a single image successfully.
I have this code in my event
'change .ip': function(event, template) {
FS.Utility.eachFile(event, function(file) {
var yourFile = new FS.File(file);
SchoolImages.insert(yourFile, function (err, fileObj) {
if (err){
// handle error
alert('error');
} else {
// handle success depending what you need to d
alert('success');
}
});
});
}
This is my html
<input type="file" class="ip form-control" name="sn_edit" value="">
This is my collections code
SchoolImages = new FS.Collection("SchoolImages", {
stores: [new FS.Store.FileSystem("SchoolImages", {path: "~/meteor_uploads"})]
});
if (Meteor.isServer) {
SchoolImages.allow({
insert: function (userId, doc) {
return false;
},
update: function (userId, doc, fieldNames, modifier) {
return false;
},
remove: function (userId, doc) {
return false;
}
});
SchoolImages.deny({
insert: function (userId, doc) {
return true;
},
update: function (userId, doc, fieldNames, modifier) {
return true;
},
remove: function (userId, doc) {
return true;
}
});
}
When i try uploading an image,no image is uploaded and no collection is created. My code gives an error alert('error') - see the code above.
How should i rectify my code to upload an image successfully?.

Answer 1

You don't have to allow db operation inside in Meteor.isServer. You can directly write the collections code as follow.
SchoolImages = new FS.Collection("SchoolImages", {
stores: [new FS.Store.FileSystem("SchoolImages", {path: "~/meteor_uploads"})]
});
SchoolImages.allow({
insert: function (userId, doc) {
return true;
},
update: function (userId, doc, fieldNames, modifier) {
return true;
},
remove: function (userId, doc) {
return true;
}
});
Generally I recommend to write this code inside the lib folder when you structure your project in different folders.
