Help with reset password on server

juanpmd · October 27, 2024, 1:32am

I am currently trying to build a reset password functionality for my Meteor React Native application. I was able to send the email through a method that calls Accounts.sendResetPasswordEmail() but for the reset password completion, I cannot use Accounts.resetPassword() because it is client only. Is there any other way of doing this or is there a function that I couldnt find that replaces Accounts.resetPassword() in the server?

If you check the Accounts.resetPassword() code, it is calling this method

meteor/meteor/blob/024061123a49ff1d4b89d69453ec9263ef8599e1/packages/accounts-password/password_server.js#L580


      
                await Accounts.generateOptionsForEmail(realEmail, user, url, 'enrollAccount');
          
              await Email.sendAsync(options);
              if (Meteor.isDevelopment) {
                console.log(`\nEnrollment email URL: ${ url }`);
              }
              return { email: realEmail, user, token, url, options };
            };
          
          
          // Take token from sendResetPasswordEmail or sendEnrollmentEmail, change
          // the users password, and log them in.
          Meteor.methods(
            {
              resetPassword:
                async function (...args) {
                  const token = args[0];
                  const newPassword = args[1];
                  return await Accounts._loginMethod(
                    this,
                    "resetPassword",

Thank you for this, until this point I didnt know that I could call these methods directly but it worked perfectly.
