Is the useraccounts package still being maintained?

[waldgeist]

In my endeavour to transform my Blaze app to React, I stumbled upon quite some troubles regarding routing. One of them is that the wonderful useraccounts packages do not support React yet. There are quite some issues in the repo asking for support (pending for months), but no-one answered to them.

So I am wondering if these packages are still being maintained? I found a kind of replacement package (std:accounts-ui), but this doesn’t support all of the options of useraccounts.

Useraccounts with react?

I am using the Accounts package with React and have no issues. You can use the regular template {{> loginButtons}} as well. You just need to wrap it with a react component. See https://forums.meteor.com/t/resolved-passing-variables-to-a-template-nested-in-a-react-component/8148 for more info on that. You can also just create your own login/signup pages. I found this video very helpful for that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdJDzfHvHPI

Useraccounts sucks, always has. Why stray from core accounts, which must obviously work all the time.

Well, let me reply with the response just below that post

Useraccounts with react?

To clarify, it’s not the Accounts package I’m asking about but useraccounts:bootstrap. I’m also using flow router, so as far as I can tell I need to use react-layout or blaze-layout but not both, and useraccounts:core seems to use blaze-layout. I’ve considered using accounts-ui but it doesn’t seem very flexible. I really don’t want to have to reinvent this.

Well, when I started learning Meteor, it made things much easier, since it had pre-configured templates for all relevant use-cases. But I agree, the package kinda sucks, it was quite hard to set-up and configure (still got problems with it when it gets to user feedback on errors), and it doesn’t seem to be actively maintained.

When it was…it was prone to breakage.
