I have been having a lot of trouble doing this lately and hoping someone can provide a bit of insight. I’m a beginner to mongodb/meteor. Mostly abstract.
So let’s just say I have a few roles, ['admin', 'teacher', 'student']
, each having their own unique entry point into the application.
Now let’s say I have Settings
. For each role, the settings will be different. For example, For a teacher
role, the settings might look like this:
settings: {
alerts: {
assignmentSubmit: true,
helpRequest: true
},
theme: {
background: '#CCC',
font: 'black',
bannerUrl: 'https://fakesite.com/image.jpg'
},
discussionBoards: {
allowStudentBoardsCreation: false,
allowStudentThreadCreation: true,
allowStudentCommentCreation: true,
alertOnUpdate: false
}
}
Now let’s say you look at settings for students.
settings: {
defaultEmailAddress: 'email@email.com',
receiveAlerts: true,
receiveGradeUpdates: true
}
What I am really wondering is how to retrieve and access different information and schemas based on the role of the user in an extensible fashion. Any suggestions or tips?
