I am attempting to create a relationship between 2 collections, but one of the collections is not available to be referenced in the other. Specifically, I have 2 collections: Sites and ContentTypes. This is what they include:
// app/lib/collections/sites.js
Sites = new Mongo.Collection('sites');
Sites.attachSchema(new SimpleSchema({
name: {
type: String,
label: "Name",
max: 100
},
client: {
type: String,
label: "Client",
max: 100
},
created: {
type: Date,
autoValue: function() {
if (this.isInsert) {
return new Date;
} else if (this.isUpsert) {
return {$setOnInsert: new Date};
} else {
this.unset(); // Prevent user from supplying their own value
}
}
}
}));
And here's the ContentTypes collection:
// app/lib/collections/content_types.js
ContentTypes = new Mongo.Collection('content_types');
ContentTypes.attachSchema(new SimpleSchema({
name: {
type: String,
label: "Name",
max: 100
},
machineName: {
type: String,
label: "Machine Name",
max: 100
},
site:{
type: Sites
},
created: {
type: Date,
autoValue: function() {
if (this.isInsert) {
return new Date;
} else if (this.isUpsert) {
return {$setOnInsert: new Date};
} else {
this.unset(); // Prevent user from supplying their own value
}
}
}
}));
When I add the Sites reference to the ContentTypes schema, I the app crashes with the error:
ReferenceError: Sites is not defined
at lib/collections/content_types.js:32:11
I haven't had much luck finding documentation for relationships in collection2 beyond this. It looks like the format referenced there is supposed to work based on this thread.
This is due to the order Meteor loads files. See section on File Load Order here:
There are several load ordering rules. They are applied sequentially to all applicable files in the application, in the priority given below:
HTML template files are always loaded before everything else
Files beginning with main. are loaded last
Files inside any lib/ directory are loaded next
Files with deeper paths are loaded next
Files are then loaded in alphabetical order of the entire path
e.g. rename app/lib/collections/sites.js to app/lib/collections/a_sites.js and the Sites variable will be defined when the content_types.js file is being loaded.

My understanding is that using serializeIds: 'always' will give me this data, but it does not.
Here's what I'm expecting:
{
id="1"
title="some title"
customerId="2"
}
Instead the output I'm receiving is:
{
id="1"
title="some title"
}
My code looks something like this:
import {
Server,
Serializer,
Model,
belongsTo,
hasMany,
Factory
} from "miragejs";
import faker from "faker";
const ApplicationSerializer = Serializer.extend({
// don't want a root prop
root: false,
// true required to have root:false
embed: true,
// will always serialize the ids of all relationships for the model or collection in the response
serializeIds: "always"
});
export function makeServer() {
let server = newServer({
models: {
invoice: Model.extend({
customer: belongsTo()
}),
customer: Model.extend({
invoices: hasMany()
})
},
factories: {
invoice: Factory.extend({
title(i) {
return `Invoice ${i}`;
},
afterCreate(invoice, server) {
if (!invoice.customer) {
invoice.update({
customer: server.create("customer")
});
}
}
}),
customer: Factory.extend({
name() {
let fullName = () =>
`${faker.name.firstName()} ${faker.name.lastName()}`;
return fullName;
}
})
},
seeds(server) {
server.createList("invoice", 10);
},
serializers: {
application: ApplicationSerializer,
invoice: ApplicationSerializer.extend({
include: ["customer"]
})
},
routes() {
this.namespace = "api";
this.get("/auth");
}
});
}
Changing the config to root: true, embed: false, provides the correct output in the invoice models, but adds the root and sideloads the customer, which I don't want.
You've run into some strange behavior with how how serializeIds interacts with embed.
First, it's confusing why you need to set embed: true when you're just trying to disable the root. The reason is because embed defaults to false, so if you remove the root and try to include related resources, Mirage doesn't know where to put them. This is a confusing mix of options and Mirage should really have different "modes" that take this into account.
Second, it seems that when embed is true, Mirage basically ignores the serializeIds option, since it thinks your resources will always be embedded. (The idea here is that a foreign key is used to fetch related resources separately, but when they're embedded they always come over together.) This is also confusing and doesn't need to be the case. I've opened a tracking issue in Mirage to help address these points.
As for you today, the best way to solve this is to leave root to true and embed false, which are both the defaults, so that serializeIds works properly, and then just write your own serialize() function to remove the key for you:
const ApplicationSerializer = Serializer.extend({
// will always serialize the ids of all relationships for the model or collection in the response
serializeIds: "always",
serialize(resource, request) {
let json = Serializer.prototype.serialize.apply(this, arguments);
let root = resource.models ? this.keyForCollection(resource.modelName) : this.keyForModel(resource.modelName)
return json[root];
}
});
You should be able to test this out on both /invoices and /invoices/1.
Check out this REPL example and try making a request to each URL.
Here's the config from the example:
import {
Server,
Serializer,
Model,
belongsTo,
hasMany,
Factory,
} from "miragejs";
import faker from "faker";
const ApplicationSerializer = Serializer.extend({
// will always serialize the ids of all relationships for the model or collection in the response
serializeIds: "always",
serialize(resource, request) {
let json = Serializer.prototype.serialize.apply(this, arguments);
let root = resource.models ? this.keyForCollection(resource.modelName) : this.keyForModel(resource.modelName)
return json[root];
}
});
export default new Server({
models: {
invoice: Model.extend({
customer: belongsTo(),
}),
customer: Model.extend({
invoices: hasMany(),
}),
},
factories: {
invoice: Factory.extend({
title(i) {
return "Invoice " + i;
},
afterCreate(invoice, server) {
if (!invoice.customer) {
invoice.update({
customer: server.create("customer"),
});
}
},
}),
customer: Factory.extend({
name() {
return faker.name.firstName() + " " + faker.name.lastName();
},
}),
},
seeds(server) {
server.createList("invoice", 10);
},
serializers: {
application: ApplicationSerializer,
},
routes() {
this.resource("invoice");
},
});
Hopefully that clears things up + sorry for the confusing APIs!
I just want to Publish the relational Data for a Publication to client, but the issue is my Relational Data field is array of ID's of a Different Collection, I tried Different Packages but all works with single Relational ID but not working with Array of relational ID's, let assume I have two Collection Companies and Meteor.users below is my Company Document Looks like
{
_id : "dYo4tqpZms9j8aG4C"
owner : "yjzakAgYWejmJcuHz"
name : "Labbaik Waters"
peoples : ["yjzakAgYWejmJcuHz", "yjzakAgYWejmJcuHz"],
createdAt: "2019-09-18T15:33:29.952+00:00"
}
here you can see peoples field contains the user ID's as Array, so How I publish this userId's as user Documents, as for example I tried the most popular meteor package named publishComposit, when I tried Loop in Children's find, I got undefined in children i.e below
publishComposite('compoundCompanies', {
find() {
// Find top ten highest scoring posts
return Companies.find({
owner: this.userId
}, {sort: {}});
},
children: [
{
find(company) {
let cursors = company.peoples.forEach(peopleId => {
console.log(peopleId)
return Meteor.users.find(
{ _id: peopleId },
{ fields: { profile: 1 } });
})
//here cursor undefined
console.log(cursors)
return cursors
}
}
]
});
and if I implement async loop in children's find I got error like below code
publishComposite('compoundCompanies', {
find() {
// Find top ten highest scoring posts
return Companies.find({
owner: this.userId
}, {sort: {}});
},
children: [
{
async find(company) {
let cursors = await company.peoples.forEach(peopleId => {
console.log(peopleId)
return Meteor.users.find(
{ _id: peopleId },
{ fields: { profile: 1 } });
})
//here cursor undefined
console.log(cursors)
return cursors
}
}
]
});
the error occured in above code is Exception in callback of async function: TypeError: this.cursor._getCollectionName is not a function
I don't know what I am exactly doing wrong here, or implementing package function not as intended any help will be greatly appropriated
EDIT: my desired result should be full user documents instead of ID no matter it mapped in same peoples array or as another fields I just want as below
{
_id: "dYo4tqpZms9j8aG4C",
owner: "yjzakAgYWejmJcuHz",
name: "Labbaik Waters",
peoples: [
{
profile: {firstName: "Abdul", lastName: "Hameed"},
_id: "yjzakAgYWejmJcuHz"
}
],
createdAt: "2019-09-18T15:33:29.952+00:00"
}
I ran into a similar problem couple of days ago. There are two problems with the provided code. First, using async; it's not needed and rather complicates things. Second, publishComposite relies on receiving one cursor not multiple within its children to work properly.
Below is a snippet of the code used to solve the problem I had, hopefully you can replicate it.
Meteor.publishComposite("table.conversations", function(table, ids, fields) {
if (!this.userId) {
return this.ready();
}
check(table, String);
check(ids, Array);
check(fields, Match.Optional(Object));
return {
find() {
return Conversation.find(
{
_id: {
$in: ids
}
},
{ fields }
);
},
children: [
{
find(conversation) {
// constructing one big cursor that entails all of the documents in one single go
// as publish composite cannot work with multiple cursors at once
return User.find(
{ _id: { $in: conversation.participants } },
{ fields: { profile: 1, roles: 1, emails: 1 } }
);
}
}
]
};
});
Forms of this question have been asked a few times, but I've been unable to find a solution:
I have a schema like this (simplified):
StatusObject = new SimpleSchema({
statusArray: [statusSchema]
});
where statusSchema is
{
topicId:{
type: String,
optional: true
},
someInfo:{
type: Number,
optional: true,
decimal: true
},
otherInfo:{
type: Number,
optional: true
}
}
I am trying to upsert - with the following meteor method code:
var upsertResult = BasicInfo.update({
userId: this.userId,
statusArray: {
$elemMatch: { topicId : newStatus.topicId }
}
}, {
$set: {
"statusArray.$.topicId": newStatus.topicId,
"statusArray.$.someInfo": newStatus.someInfo,
"statusArray.$.otherInfo": newStatus.otherInfo
}
}, {
multi: true,
upsert: true
});
But I keep getting an error: statusArray must be an array
I thought by adding the $, I was making sure it is recognized as an array? What am I missing?
It seems (after your clarification comments), that you want to find a document with particular userId and modify its statusArray array using one of these scenarios:
Update existing object with particular topicId value;
Add a new object if the array doens't have one with particular topicId value.
Unfortunately, you can't make it work using just one DB query, so it should be like this:
// try to update record
const updateResult = BasicInfo.update({
userId: this.userId,
'statusArray.topicId': newStatus.topicId
}, {
$set: {
"statusArray.$": newStatus
}
});
if (!updateResult) {
// insert new record to array or create new document
BasicInfo.update({
userId: this.userId
}, {
$push: {
statusArray: newStatus
},
$setOnInsert: {
// other needed fields
}
}, {
upsert: true
});
}
Your code is treating StatusArray as an object,
Before you do the upsert, build the status array first, assuming that your current value is currentRecord
newStatusArray = currentRecord.statusArray
newStatusArray.push({
topicId: newStatus.topicId,
someInfo : newStatus.someInfo,
otherInfo: newStatus.otherInfo
})
and in the upsert, simply refer to it like this
$set: { statusArray: newStatusArray}
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];
}
}
}
});
