In the client-side of a METEORJS application, i have a controller that display some users.
I have a problem with Meteor.user() function, the error is : Meteor.user(...) is undefined.
Here is my code :
this.AdminUsersController = RouteController.extend({
template: "Admin",
yieldTemplates: {
'AdminUsers': { to: 'AdminSubcontent'}
},
onBeforeAction: function() {
var permissions = Meteor.user().profile.permissions;
if (permissions && permissions.indexOf('Users') != -1)
this.next();
else this.redirect('/admin/dashboard');
},
action: function() {
if(this.isReady()) { this.render(); } else { this.render("Admin"); this.render("loading", { to: "AdminSubcontent" });}
/*ACTION_FUNCTION*/
},
isReady: function() {
var subs = [
Meteor.subscribe("users")
];
var ready = true;
_.each(subs, function(sub) {
if(!sub.ready())
ready = false;
});
return ready;
},
data: function() {
var data = {
params: this.params || {},
users: Users.find({labo_id: Meteor.user().profile.labo_id}, {sort: {createdAt:-1}})
};
return data;
},
onAfterAction: function() {
}});
It's in the data function. I try to retrieve all users that are connected to the logged in user and got the same labo_id field...
I don't know why it give me that, because in the onBeforeAction function, i can access to Meteor.user(), and specially his profile...
Someone know what can i do to make it run ?
Thanks for your future answers :)
This is a timing issue. Meteor.user() does not necessarily return data, if it hasn't been loaded yet. Meteor.userId() however will return the _id of the user record (if they are logged in). If you can change your query to rely on that _id, then it can work.
Depending on which router you are using, you can add a resolve: entry to ensure that the route waits for the user record to be loaded before activating it, and then your query will work.
