Cannot read property 'blackbox' of undefined - AutoForm and Meteor - meteor

Here's my schema:
TestCollection = new Meteor.Collection('test_collection');
var Schemas = {};
Schemas.TestCollection = new SimpleSchema({
servicesSelected: {
type: [Object]
},
"servicesSelected.0.selected" : {
type: Boolean,
optional: false
},
"servicesSelected.0.sku" : {
type: String,
optional: true
},
"servicesSelected.0.title" : {
type: String,
optional: true
},
"servicesSelected.0.price": {
type: Number,
optional: true
},
"servicesSelected.1.selected" : {
type: Boolean,
optional: false
},
"servicesSelected.1.sku" : {
type: String,
optional: true
},
"servicesSelected.1.title" : {
type: String,
optional: true
},
"servicesSelected.1.price": {
type: Number,
optional: true
}
});
TestCollection.attachSchema(Schemas.TestCollection);
My Template:
<template name="test">
{{#autoForm validation="keyup" collection="TestCollection" id="order-submission-test-form" type="insert"}}
<h1>Doing everything manually and specifying the data-schema-key:</h1>
<input type="checkbox" name="servicesSelected.0.selected" data-schema-key="servicesSelected.0.selected">
<label>HDR Photos</label>
<input type="checkbox" name="servicesSelected.1.selected" data-schema-key="servicesSelected.1.selected">
<label>Panos</label>
{{/autoForm}}
</template>
Whenever I click on the checkbox or try to validate the form I get a Cannot read property 'blackbox' of undefined error in the console. What am I doing wrong?
servicesSelected is supposed to be an array that contains hash tables on each index.
So something like:
serviceSelected = [
{
selected: true,
sku: "123",
title: "title1",
price: 100
},
{
selected: false,
sku: "124",
title: "title2",
price: 150
}
]

Just had the same issue, I would try getting rid of all numbers within your sub-object definitions. So I would try doing "servicesSelected.$.selected" instead of "servicesSelected.0.selected".
Worked for me, hopefully it works for anyone else with this strange issue.

Update array of objects leads to blank array

Please tell me what I'm missing here. When I update the Array of objects my collection updates with an empty array. I'm using meteor-collection2-core and node-simple-schema.
Path: Method
testArray = [{
"institution": "Swinburn",
"uniqueId": 1501036480813,
"qualification": "Bachelor of Commerce",
"completed": "2017"
}]
ProfileCandidate.update('Ntzj6kE8qZsvSPMEP', {$set: {educationQualifications: testArray}});
Path: Collection
export const ProfileCandidate = new Mongo.Collection('profileCandidate');
const ProfileCandidateSchema = new SimpleSchema({
userId: {
type: String,
regEx: SimpleSchema.RegEx.Id
},
educationQualifications: { type: Array, optional: true },
'educationQualifications.$': { type: Object, optional: true },
'educationQualifications.$.uniqueId': { type: Number, optional: true },
'educationQualifications.$.institution': { type: String, optional: true },
'educationQualifications.$.qualification': { type: String, optional: true },
'educationQualifications.$.completed': { type: String, optional: true }
});
ProfileCandidate.attachSchema(ProfileCandidateSchema);
In your method, try this:
ProfileCandidate.update({userId: 'Ntzj6kE8qZsvSPMEP'}, {$set: {educationQualifications: testArray}});

Saving API call result to a collection but recieving errors while setting up a SimpleSchema

I have a Meteor method which does an API call, then the response of the call is saved to the users collection. I'm using the Collection2 package with my project and I'm a little bit lost setting up my SimpleSchema for this.
Here is what the JSON response looks like from the API call:
[{"keyword":"2i","url":"http://example.com","title":"Example","timestamp":"2016-11-05
08:54:42","ip":"00.00.00.000","clicks":"2","user":"HweoSCY2ujscjJ9Zl"},{"keyword":"2j","url":"http://example.com","title":"YouTube","timestamp":"2016-11-06
02:11:18","ip":"00.00.00.000","clicks":"1","user":"HweoSCY2ujscjJ9Zl"},{"keyword":"2k","url":"http://example.com","title":"YouTube","timestamp":"2016-11-08
03:35:12","ip":"00.00.00.000","clicks":"0","user":"HweoSCY2ujscjJ9Zl"}]
Here's currently how I've been able to save this data to the users collection:
Meteor.users.update(Meteor.userId(), {
$set: { 'shortURLs.URLS': result.data }
});
This works and looks like this in the db:
My issue is that I'd like to have a SimpleSchema setup for this so that the "timestamp" will be saved as a Date instead of a String, but everytime I try and create a schema for it I just receive errors like "After filtering out keys not in the schema, your modifier is now empty". I have tried a lot of different variations to try and make it work but none of them have been successful, here's just currently where it's at:
Schema.ShortURLs = new SimpleSchema({
shortURLs: {
type: Object
},
'shortURLs.$': {
type: Object
},
'shortURLs.$.keyword': {
type: String,
optional: true,
label: "Keyword"
},
'shortURLs.$.url': {
type: String,
optional: true,
label: "URL"
},
'shortURLs.$.title': {
type: String,
optional: true,
label: "Title"
},
'shortURLs.$.timestamp': {
type: Date,
optional: true,
label: "Timestamp"
},
'shortURLs.$.ip': {
type: String,
optional: true,
label: "IP"
},
'shortURLs.$.clicks': {
type: String,
optional: true,
label: "Clicks"
},
'shortURLs.$.user': {
type: String,
optional: true,
label: "User"
},
});
This is then attached apart of a User Simple Schema:
...
shortURLs: {
type: Schema.ShortURLs,
optional: true
},
...
And I have that attached to the users collection:
Meteor.users.attachSchema(Schema.User);
I don't think there's an issue with how I have it attached as I have other SimpleSchemas setup the same way and they're working fine, I believe the issue is how I have this particular one written. Any help here would be extremely appreciated.
You need to define the shortURLs type in the Meteor.users collection as type: [Schema.ShortURLs], i.e. a list of type Schema.ShortURLs
Schema = {}
Schema.ShortURLs = new SimpleSchema({
keyword: {
type: String,
optional: true,
label: "Keyword"
},
url: {
type: String,
optional: true,
label: "URL"
},
title: {
type: String,
optional: true,
label: "Title"
},
timestamp: {
type: Date,
optional: true,
label: "Timestamp"
},
ip: {
type: String,
optional: true,
label: "IP"
},
clicks: {
type: String,
optional: true,
label: "Clicks"
},
user: {
type: String,
optional: true,
label: "User"
},
});
Schema.User = new SimpleSchema({
...
shortURLs: {
type: [Schema.ShortURLs],
optional: true
},
...
});
...
Meteor.users.attachSchema(Schema.User);

Meteor collection2 not updating

I'm having some trouble with updating a user account. I use the following schema (collection2):
lib/collections/users.js
Users = Meteor.users;
var Schemas = {};
Schemas.User = new SimpleSchema({
gender: {
type: Number,
min: 1
},
s_gender: {
type: Number,
min: 1,
optional:false
},
picture: {
type: String,
custom: function() {
var base64Matcher = new RegExp("^(?:[A-Za-z0-9+/]{4})*(?:[A-Za-z0-9+/]{2}==|[A-Za-z0-9+/]{3}=|[A-Za-z0-9+/]{4})$");
var value = this.value.replace("data:image/png;base64,","");
if(!base64Matcher.test(value))
{
return 'no picture';
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
}
});
Users.attachSchema(Schemas.User);
Now I do the update with the following code:
client/templates/start.js
Users.update({_id: Meteor.userId()}, {
$set: {picture: picture, gender: gender, s_gender: s_gender}
}, {validationContext: "updateUser"}, function (error, result) {
if (error) {
errorObjs = Users.simpleSchema().namedContext("updateUser").invalidKeys();
console.log(errorObjs);
}
console.log(result);
});
The validation passes, but I only get a "0" in results (errors are null) - the update isn't working. Errors are shown if I have an empty field, so the validation is working well. If I detach the schema, the update works fine.
Did I forget something here or why isn't he updating when validation passes?
// Edit: Also I see, that Meteor doesn't create users anymore.
I believe you need to use Users.profile.foo instead of Users.foo, because Users is a special meteor collection and you can only save new fields inside the profile field. Try using Simple Schema/Collection 2 suggested User schema as a starting point (I'll copy it bellow). Notice the "profile schema" is loaded before the user schema:
Schema = {};
Schema.UserProfile = new SimpleSchema({
firstName: {
type: String,
regEx: /^[a-zA-Z-]{2,25}$/,
optional: true
},
lastName: {
type: String,
regEx: /^[a-zA-Z]{2,25}$/,
optional: true
},
birthday: {
type: Date,
optional: true
},
gender: {
type: String,
allowedValues: ['Male', 'Female'],
optional: true
},
organization : {
type: String,
regEx: /^[a-z0-9A-z .]{3,30}$/,
optional: true
},
website: {
type: String,
regEx: SimpleSchema.RegEx.Url,
optional: true
},
bio: {
type: String,
optional: true
}
});
Schema.User = new SimpleSchema({
username: {
type: String,
regEx: /^[a-z0-9A-Z_]{3,15}$/
},
emails: {
type: [Object],
optional: true
},
"emails.$.address": {
type: String,
regEx: SimpleSchema.RegEx.Email
},
"emails.$.verified": {
type: Boolean
},
createdAt: {
type: Date
},
profile: {
type: Schema.UserProfile,
optional: true
},
services: {
type: Object,
optional: true,
blackbox: true
}
});
Meteor.users.attachSchema(Schema.User);

Storing arbitrary object inside a field with meteor simple schema

I have a schema with a field type: Object . But whenever i do an insert, that object is empty.
Here is my schema
Contacts.attachSchema(new SimpleSchema({
firstName: {
type: String,
},
lastName: {
type: String,
optional: true
},
twitterFriend: { // this field
type: Object,
optional: true
}
}));
Even if do Contacts.insert({firstName: 'Mustafa', twitterFriend: {test: 'this should be stored'}}) . It does not work.
For an object of arbitrary sub-schema you set blackbox: true
Contacts.attachSchema(new SimpleSchema({
firstName: {
type: String,
},
lastName: {
type: String,
optional: true
},
twitterFriend: { // this field
type: Object,
optional: true,
blackbox: true
}
}));
See SimpleSchema docs for reference.

How should I insert into Meteor collection using autoform/collection2?

I'm trying to do the autoform books example using Meteor. How exactly should I do the Books.insert ?
I see the example:
Books.insert({title: "Ulysses", author: "James Joyce"}, function(error, result) {
//The insert will fail, error will be set,
//and result will be undefined or false because "copies" is required.
//
//The list of errors is available on
//`error.invalidKeys` or by calling
Books.simpleSchema().namedContext().invalidKeys()
});
I'm not entirely sure how I should hook this up with the rest of my code:
if (Meteor.isClient) {
Books = new Meteor.Collection("books");
var Schemas = {};
Schemas.Book = new SimpleSchema({
title: {
type: String,
label: "Title",
max: 200,
optional: true
},
author: {
type: String,
label: "Author",
optional: true
},
copies: {
type: Number,
label: "Number of copies",
min: 0,
optional: true
},
lastCheckedOut: {
type: Date,
label: "Last date this book was checked out",
optional: true
},
summary: {
type: String,
label: "Brief summary",
optional: true,
max: 1000
}
});
Books.attachSchema(Schemas.Book);
}
Can anyone give me any advice on this?
I'm thinking that I would need something like this:
Template.bookform.events({
'click btn.submit': function () {
var form = document.getElementById("formID").value;
Books.insert(form);
}
});
Thanks in advance! :)
I have never used autoform but in the documentation it says that it already gives you "automatic insert and update events, and automatic reactive validation".
So there should be no need to specify your own event handler.
In the docs you will also find the books example. I am just copying from there:
JS
Books = new Meteor.Collection("books", {
schema: {
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
}
}
});
if (Meteor.isClient) {
Meteor.subscribe("books");
}
if (Meteor.isServer) {
Meteor.publish("books", function () {
return Books.find();
});
}
HTML
<head>
<title>Book example</title>
</head>
<body>
{{> insertBookForm}}
</body>
<template name="insertBookForm">
{{> quickForm collection="Books" id="insertBookForm" type="insert"}}
