Expose Meteor user context to Express endpoints

EDIT: Ah, because accessing the endpoint via browser address bar does not use auth tokens. The new Meteor.fetch(url, {auth: true}) in Meteor 3.5 does the trick: I can fetch an endpoint from the client code using auth to download the DB.

Yeah, I hope you realized that this is written specifically on the docs linked: meteor/v3-docs/docs/packages/accounts-express.md at release-3.5 · meteor/meteor · GitHub. Docs are less than 200 lines. Perfect for AI context if you provide the link for AI to learn from as this is a beta feature.

The same docs content is also copied into the first post of this forum thread: Expose Meteor user context to Express endpoints.

We keep it updated to avoid developers looking at the initial API ideas and getting confused, or AI adopting the wrong approach.
