How to read file stored in mongodb gridfs at server side in meteor

Hello All,
I upload a (.json) file to mongodb (gridfs) and I want to read the content of that file in my api at server side in meteor. Is it possible to do so ?

Thanks.

You could take a look at vsivsi:file-collection from atmosphere (meteor add vsivsi:file-collection).

Hello @robfallows,
this package is not working in my app.
Actually I am using ‘fs’ (npm) package at server side for reading file content but it also not working for me and gives the error ‘no such file or directory…’

Hello,
Problem solved. Actually I previously use cfs for inserting file to mongodb, but cfs is deprecated, so I decide to remove cfs from my app and use ostrio:files package for inserting files to mongo. When I insert file in db, then path field is automatically created. Then I pass that path to fs.readFile method and all data of that file is shown. :smiley:
