Client callback on Accounts.CreateUser?

help
1

I have a form that is used to add users, it that calls a method with Accounts.CreateUser. I added a callback on the server but I’m getting an irritating error:

Exception while invoking method 'createNewUser' Error: Accounts.createUser with callback not supported on the server yet.

I need to somehow let the user know if an account has been successfully added, how can I go about doing this

You can do this:

if (Meteor.isServer) {
      const userId = Accounts.createUser({ email, password });
      if (userId) {
         // do something
      }
}

Only problem is I can’t return any success message to the client

You can make a method, for example

Meteor.methods({
  'users.register': ({ email, password }) => {
    const userId = Accounts.createUser({ email, password });
    return userId;
  },
});

then from client side, call this method to create account. In callback function, you can display the result.

You should also note that on the server, these methods throw errors, so use try/catch and throw new Meteor.Error to return errors to the client.
