Mongo.Collection.get() deprecated?

Did we lose Mongo.Collection.get() in one of the recent releases?

Can’t find any hint of it in Meteor code back to 1.2.1.
Maybe it was from an atmosphere package?

Huh. Well, I’ve been using Meteor since v0.5, so maybe that function has just been sitting in the codebase unused that long. :laughing:

Slept on the issue, and figured out a workaround for my problem. If anybody wants an easy function to clear all the data cursors on the client, and know the cursor names:

function clearAllDataCursors(){
    console.log('Clear all data cursors!');

    if(confirm("Are you sure?")){
      
      let collectionNames = [
        'Immunizations',
        'Organizations',
        'Observations',
        'Patients'
      ];

      resourceTypes.forEach(function(collectionNames){

        if(Meteor.isClient){
          if(window[resourceType]){
            window[resourceType].remove({})
          }  
        }
      })
    }
  }

The major problem with this approach is that you need to know the cursor names before hand. I’d be curious if anybody has an approach to get a list of all the Cursors registered on the client though, so we can support dynamic registration.
