Meteor - When using check roles wont work - meteor

I'm having a problem with a publish function. If I run the code without the roles package it works, however, when I add the roles if statement it doesn't. What am I missing here?
Path: publish.js (working)
Meteor.publish('userProfile', function(id) {
check(id, String);
return Meteor.users.find({_id: id}, {
fields: {
"profile.firstName": 1,
"profile.familyName": 1
}
});
});
Path: publish.js (not working)
Meteor.publish('userProfile', function(group, id) {
if (Roles.userIsInRole(this.userId, ['is_admin'], group)) {
check(id, String);
return Meteor.users.find({_id: id}, {
fields: {
"profile.firstName": 1,
"profile.familyName": 1
}
});
} else {
// user not authorized. do not publish secrets
this.stop();
return;
}
});

how to waitOn data ready using iron-router and publish-composite

I have the following route :
this.route('groupPage', {
path: '/group/:_groupId',
waitOn: function(){
return Meteor.subscribe("groupPage", this.params._groupId);
},
data: function() {
var group = Groups.findOne({_id: this.params._groupId});
var members = Meteor.users.find({_id : {$in: group.memberIds}}); ******** ISSUE HERE******
return {
group: group,
members: members,
}; }});
and the following publication :
Meteor.publishComposite('groupPage', function(groupId, sortOrder, limit) {
return {
// return the group
find: function() {
if(this.userId){
var selector = {_id: groupId};
var options = {limit: 1};
return Groups.find(selector, options);
}
else{
return ;
}
},
children: [
{ // return the members
find: function(group) {
var selector = {_id: {$in: group.memberIds} };
return Meteor.users.find(selector);
}
}
]}}) ;
Now my issue is that : when the related page renders for the first there is no problems but when i actualize the group Page view the line : var members = Meteor.users.find({_id : {$in: group.memberIds}}); gives me the error : undefined object don't have memberIds property. i guess it's because the subscription is not yet ready when doing group.memberIds , isn't it ? Please a hint.
Thanks.
The data function doesn't wait for the subscription to be ready. Further more, subscriptions in the router are considered an anti-pattern for the most part, and should be done in the template: https://www.discovermeteor.com/blog/template-level-subscriptions/
I would pass to the template the groupId, and then get the group and members in the template, like so:
this.route('groupPage', {
path: '/group/:_groupId',
data: function() {
return {
_groupId: this.params._groupId,
}
}
});
and then in the template file:
Template.groupPage.onCreated(function(){
this.subscribe("groupPage", this.data._groupId);
})
Template.groupPage.helpers({
members(function(){
tempInst = Template.instance()
var group = Groups.findOne({_id: tempInst.data._groupId});
return Meteor.users.find({_id : {$in: group.memberIds}});
})
})
The general pattern of your route and publication are all solid. I suspect it's something simple such as:
There is no group with the _id you're using
You're not logged in when you load the route
Here's a version of your code that guards against the error. Note that the publication executes this.ready() instead of just returning if the user is not logged in.
this.route('groupPage', {
path: '/group/:_groupId',
waitOn: function(){
return Meteor.subscribe("groupPage", this.params._groupId);
},
data: function() {
var group = Groups.findOne({_id: this.params._groupId});
var members = group && Meteor.users.find({_id : {$in: group.memberIds}});
return { group: group, members: members };
}
});
Meteor.publishComposite('groupPage', function(groupId,sortOrder,limit) {
return {
find: function() {
if (this.userId) return Groups.find(groupId);
this.ready()
}
},
children: [
find: function(group) {
var selector = {_id: {$in: group.memberIds} };
return Meteor.users.find(selector);
}
]
});

Meteor-tabular not displaying subscribed data

I'm using meteor tabular and publish composite addons.
I want to pub/sub user data based on user role, user data is getting send to client however not being displayed by tabular addon (for admin role only, it display fine for super-admin role, see code below).
My publish code:
Meteor.publishComposite('tabular_users', function (tableName, ids, fields) {
this.unblock();
return {
find: function () {
if (Roles.userIsInRole(this.userId, ['super-admin'], 'admin')) {
return Meteor.users.find({_id: {$in: ids}}, {fields: fields});
} else if (Roles.userIsInRole(this.userId, ['admin'], 'property-managers')) {
return Meteor.users.find({ "$and" : [
{ _id: { $in: ids } },
{ "profile.property_manager_id": Meteor.users.findOne(this.userId).profile.property_manager_id }
]}, {fields: fields});
} else {
this.stop();
return;
}
},
children: [
{
find: function(user) {
return PropertyManagers.find(
{ _id: user.profile.property_manager_id }
);
}
}
]
};
});

Subcribe gets more records than server publishes

I am trying to publish all admin users from server
on server something like this:
Meteor.publish("users_with_roles", function (options, role) {
//{fields: {emails: 1, profile: 1}}
Counts.publish(this, 'numberOfUsers', Meteor.users.find({$and:[
{'roles.tripro': {$exists: true}},
{'roles.tripro': role}
]}),
{ noReady: true });
return Meteor.users.find({
$and:[
{'roles.tripro': {$exists: true}},
{'roles.tripro': role}
]
}, options);
});
Then on client side, I am trying to subscribe this:
$meteor.autorun($scope, function() {
$meteor.subscribe('users_with_roles', {
limit: parseInt($scope.getReactively('perPage')),
skip: (parseInt($scope.getReactively('page')) - 1) * parseInt($scope.getReactively('perPage')),
sort: $scope.getReactively('sort'),
fields: {emails: 1, profile: 1}
},'admin').then(function() {
$scope.usersCount = $meteor.object(Counts ,'numberOfUsers', false);
console.log('user counter:' + $scope.usersCount.count);
$scope.users.forEach( function (user) {
// user.onClicked = function () {
// //$state.go('userProfile', {userId: user._id});
// };
console.log(user._id);
});
},
function(error)
{
console.log(error);
}
);
});
$scope.users = $meteor.collection(function() {
console.log('looking for role: ' + role);
return Meteor.users.find({}, {
//sort : $scope.getReactively('sort')
});
});
However, from the logging, it appears that the client side received all users , but from the logging on server side, it does give correct result.
What am I missing here?
A couple things to think about here.
When you request users you will always have "you". So if the user you are logged into is not an admin, it will still show up in the collection.
Because you are using $meteor.subscribe instead of $scope.$meteorSubscribe you are not clearing the subscription when the scope is destroyed so it's possible that it's mixing with other subscriptions on the client side from other scopes.

iron-router except fails?

So i'm just getting started with iron-router, and I've been building a login system. It works via a .onBeforeAction hook before every route, checking if the user is logged in. However, there are a few routes I want public, so I've added an except option, as per the docs. Except the problem is it doesn't work :( can anybody see why?
Router.route('/new', function () {
name: 'new',
this.render('newComp');
});
Router.route('/c/:_id', {
name: 'compPage',
data: function() { return Comps.findOne(this.params._id); }
});
Router.route('/c/:_id/embed', function () {
name: 'embed',
this.layout('empty'),
this.render('compEmbed', {
data: function () {
return Comps.findOne({_id: this.params._id});
}
});
});
function loginFunction(){
// all properties available in the route function
// are also available here such as this.params
if (!Meteor.user()) {
// if the user is not logged in, render the Login template
if (Meteor.loggingIn()) {
this.render(this.loadingTemplate);
} else {
this.layout('empty');
this.render('login');
}
} else {
// otherwise don't hold up the rest of hooks or our route/action function
this.next();
}
}
Router.onBeforeAction( loginFunction, {
except: ['embed'] // this aint working
});
The problem seems to be in your route definition, the name param should be in the third param of Router.route(), like this (so your route actually didn't have a name, thus the except:['route.name'] doesn't work):
Router.route('/c/:_id/embed', function () {
this.layout('empty'),
this.render('compEmbed', {
data: function () {
return Comps.findOne({_id: this.params._id});
}
});
}, {
name: 'embed',
});

Meteor + Iron-Router - how do I update my template's data context in response to events the user generates in my template?

So I have a route that sets my template
Router.route('audit', {
path: '/audit/:audit_id/',
template: 'audit',
data: function() {
if (this.ready()) {
audit_obj = Audits.findOne({_id: this.params.audit_id});
lineitems = LineItems.find(JSON.parse(audit.query));
return {
audit_obj: audit_obj,
lineitems: lineitems
}
}
},
waitOn: function () {
return [
Meteor.subscribe('lineitems', this.params.audit_id),
Meteor.subscribe('audits')
]
}
}
Now, when my user takes certain actions on the page rendered by the audit template, I would like to update the audit object and also update the data context that the page is running with. Is this possible?
Something like:
Template.audit.events({
'click .something-button': function() {
// update the data context for the current audit template.
current_context.audit_obj.something = 'new something';
}
});
Yes:
Router.route('audit', {
path: '/audit/:audit_id/',
template: 'audit',
onRun: function() {
Session.set('audit', Audits.findOne(this.params.audit_id));
Session.set('lineitems', LineItems.find(JSON.parse(audit.query)).fetch());
}
data: function() {
if (this.ready()) {
return {
audit_obj: Session.get('audit'),
lineitems: Session.get('lineitems')
}
}
},
waitOn: function () {
return [
Meteor.subscribe('lineitems', this.params.audit_id),
Meteor.subscribe('audits')
]
}
}
and
Template.audit.events({
'click .something-button': function() {
// update the data context for the current audit template.
Session.set('audit', {..});
}
});
But you'll need to decide how to handle changes that come from the server, and may interfere with changes on the front end. So a better approach might be to leave the first part of the code (router) as is:
Router.route('audit', {
path: '/audit/:audit_id/',
template: 'audit',
data: function() {
if (this.ready()) {
return {
audit_obj: Audits.findOne(this.params.audit_id),
lineitems: LineItems.find(JSON.parse(audit.query))
}
}
},
waitOn: function () {
return [
Meteor.subscribe('lineitems', this.params.audit_id),
Meteor.subscribe('audits')
]
}
}
and just change the front end to update the collection:
Template.audit.events({
'click .something-button': function() {
// update the data context for the current audit template.
Audits.update( this.data.audit_obj._id, {..} );
}
});
Of course, that will update the data on the server, too.
