I am not a power user for mongodb although it’s just json. I’ve never edited anything before in mongodb so how do you edit user’s details?
Take for example in Rails (console):
u = User.find(1)
name = u.name
name = "NewName"
u.save
In mongodb, I’m lost from here: db.users.find()

To do it in mongo, you can run meteor mongo
to get into the mongo client, and then do something like:
meteor:PRIMARY> db.users.find({_id: 'user ID here'}).pretty()
This will fetch a specific user, and format it for human eyes (pretty()
). You could also run meteor shell
instead of meteor mongo
and then do:
> Meteor.users.findOne('user ID here')
which would do the same thing, only within the Meteor server.

ffxsam:
db.users.find({_id:
Ok but how do you change anything:
var u = db.users.find({_id: 'user ID here'}).pretty()
u._id // ?

Keep in mind, the ‘db.users’ bit was only within the mongo client. You’d never use that in your code.
In your actual code:
Meteor.users.update('user ID here', {$set: {fieldName: value}});

There’s a package on atmosphere called mongol. It’s a visual and convenient client side way to modify collections and if you have autopublish and insecure packages, you can just modify the client collection to have it update the server.
