Meteor 500 error


I am working on a Meteor application with React as the frontend library. Currently, I am trying to insert data to the Accounts collection, but I get a 500 error on my code. Unfortunately, the console error is not something I can directly use with my experience with Meteor.

Error in the console:

I think it might have something to do with the imports, but I cant figure this one out.

The rest of my code:

customer.js

import { Mongo } from 'meteor/mongo';

Meteor.methods({
  'customers.insert': function() {
    console.log('test');
  },
  'customers.remove': function(customer) {
    return Customers.remove(customer);
  }
});

export const Customers = new Mongo.Collection('customers');

customer_create.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';

class CustomersCreate extends Component {
onFormSubmit(event) {
    event.preventDefault();

    Meteor.call('customers.insert');
}
render() {
    return (
        <div>
            <form onSubmit={this.onFormSubmit.bind(this)}>

                <fieldset>
                    <label htmlFor="contactemail">E-mailadres contactpersoon</label>
                    <input id="contactemail" name="contactemail" type="text" />
                </fieldset>

                <fieldset>
                    <label htmlFor="password">Wachtwoord</label>
                    <input id="password" name="password" type="text" />
                </fieldset>
                <fieldset>
                    <label htmlFor="password">Wachtwoord bevestigen</label>
                    <input id="confirmpassword" name="confirmpassword" type="text" />
                </fieldset>

                <fieldset>
                    <button className="submit-button">Toevoegen</button>
                </fieldset>
            </form>
        </div>
      );
   }
}
export default CustomersCreate;

And finally my subscription:

import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
import { RegistrationCards } from '../imports/collections/registrationcards';
import { Customers } from '../imports/collections/customers';


Meteor.startup(() => {
  Meteor.publish('registrationcards', function() {
    return RegistrationCards.find({});
  });
  Meteor.publish('customers', function() {
    return Customers.find({});
  });
});

addition: When I tried to fix this problem I also noticed that i get the following exception:

Exception while simulating the effect of invoking 'customers.insert' TypeError: "event is undefined"

@edit: Fixed the last issues. Made a small typo


Solution

  • The error on the console is a reference error which states that document is not defined. How are you inserting a new customer? You did not specify it from your code. The ideal way to go is create a customer object using values from the form fields and when you call the 'customer.insert' method;you pass it the customer object. const customer = { name: } //call the method passing in the object Meteor.call('customer.insert' , customer ) On the 'customer.insert' method on the server side you do an insert in the customer document. Customer.insert(customer)
