I’m just starting out with Meteor and I’m amazed at how powerful it is. The accounts-* modules, in particular, were really impressive.
Now I’m looking for something to do profile management, and I’m hoping that someone can point me to a module that is equally magical. Here’s my ideal profile design; is there a module that does some / all of this?
- There is a view route and an edit route, let’s say
/profile/:username
and/profile/:username/edit
. These should default but be overridable. - The
.../edit
route will either create or update a profile as needed. - The module allows me to specify, autoform style, a list of fields that will constitute the profile.
- Similar to how the
accounts-google
module’sloginButtons
template element will generate the login form for me, the profile module will generate the profile form for me if I do something like:<template name="profile"> {{editProfile}} </template>
- The fields in the profile will default themselves from the
Meteor.users.profile
subdoc, or from other places per my specification. (e.g., I could tell it to default the email fromusers.profile.email
or fromservices.google.email
if no profile is found.) - The form will do validation (required fields, etc) a la autoform
- Data from the form will be stored in
Meteor.users.profile
by default - The process will be secure – no trusting the client, only a logged-in user can create/edit a profile and only their own profile, etc
- Hits to the
/profile/joebloggs/edit
route should take you to/profile/joebloggs
if you’re not eligible to edit that profile.
Is there something that would work for this? If not, I can take a shot at writing it, although I don’t guarantee that I can. In the case that it doesn’t exist and I start working on it, do you have any other design suggestions for how it should work?
