I've been trying to send an email after a autoform has been successfully submitted. I've tried using the template.events 'submit' which didn't work and I've tried to use metermethod="sendEmail". Nothing I do seems to work. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Path: form.html
{{#autoForm collection="JobOffers" id="jobOfferForm" type="insert" meteormethod="sendEmail"}}
<fieldset>
{{> afQuickField name='firstName'}}
<button type="submit" data-meteor-method="sendEmail" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
</fieldset>
{{/autoForm}}
Path: server/email.js
sendEmail: function (from, subject, userId) {
check([from, subject, userId], [String]);
// Let other method calls from the same client start running,
// without waiting for the email sending to complete.
this.unblock();
SSR.compileTemplate( 'htmlEmail', Assets.getText( 'html-email.html' ) );
// to find the users info for the logged in users
// var user = Meteor.user();
var user = Meteor.users.findOne({ _id: userId });
var email = (user && user.emails[0].address);
var emailData = {
// name: (candidate && candidate.profile && candidate.profile.firstName),
name: (user && user.profile && user.profile.firstName),
// favoriteRestaurant: "Honker Burger",
// bestFriend: "Skeeter Valentine"
};
Email.send({
to: email,
from: from,
subject: subject,
html: SSR.render( 'htmlEmail', emailData )
});
console.log('sendEmail sent');
}
});
UPDATE
Path: form.js
AutoForm.hooks({
jobOfferForm: hooksObject
});
var hooksObject = {
after: {
insert: function(error, result){
Email.send({
var otheruserId = FlowRouter.getParam('id');
Meteor.call('sendEmail',
'test@email.com',
'Hello from Meteor!',
otheruserId);
};
}
}
};
You can use callbacks/hooks of autoform. If you want to send email after an insert following would be a solution:
var hooksObject ={
after: {
insert: function(error, result){
//Send email here
}
}
}
UPDATE:
var hooksObject = {
after: {
insert: function(error, result){
var otheruserId = FlowRouter.getParam('id');
Meteor.call('sendEmail',
'test@email.com',
'Hello from Meteor!',
otheruserId);
}
}
};
AutoForm.addHooks('jobOfferForm', hooksObject);
Please refer to autoform documentation for more info.
