Meteor 1.3 - Meteor.users returning null

help
1

Using Meteor 1.3 (1.3-beta.11), and I am trying to get jagi:astronomy to work. I have the following code to try and extend the user profile and user, per instructions here:

import {Meteor} from 'meteor/meteor';

export const UserProfile = Astro.Class({
  name: 'UserProfile',
  fields: {
    nickname: 'string'
    /* Any other fields you want to be published to the client */
  }
});

export const User = Astro.Class({
  name: 'User',
  collection: Meteor.users,
  fields: {
    createdAt: 'date',
    emails: {
      type: 'array',
      default: function() {
        return [];
      }
    },
    profile: {
      type: 'object',
      nested: 'UserProfile',
      default: function() {
        return {};
      }
    }
  }
});

if (Meteor.isServer) {
  User.extend({
    fields: {
      services: 'object'
    }
  });
}

But when the code runs I get:

If I console.log the Meteor object I get something:

I am sure I am doing something wrong, but I am not sure what.

Try Accounts.user in place of Meteor.users.

3

You’ll need to bring in Accounts using:
import { Accounts } from 'meteor/accounts-base'

However, I haven’t had any issues with using Meteor.user(); on my 1.3 projects (running a mix of beta 8/12/16)

EDIT: Just re-read your first post, and saw that it was Meteor.users you’re trying to use. I’m not familiar with Astro, but I have to create a pub/sub to use Meteor.users, however normally it only returns the current user (or null if none present) if I neglect to setup a pub/sub. That could be your issue.

4

That was it. I also had to include the accounts-base package in .meteor/packages. I am having troubles finding any docs/guides for Meteor 1.3, so I am having to rely mostly on the mantra.js kickstarter examples.

5

The Guide v1.3 is good, and gets you most of the way there. Things like knowing which module to import things from can be a case of trial and error but the old docs help.

Checkout this link: http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/accountsclient

You can see ‘accounts-base/…’ referenced under the heading. Same goes for other standard Meteor packages.
