Friends,
I’m working on my first app in Meteor and hitting my head against the wall on something…
I have a scenario similar to a blog + comments situation where I have one collection (call it ‘posts’) and want to associate documents from another collection (call it ‘comments’).
The best way I know to pass the post._id to the comments as a “postId” field is to use the Flow Router params, since the form is on the ‘post/:id’ view.
But for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to get “var postId = FlowRouter.getParam(‘postId’);” to pass to Autoform so it populates. I’ve tried adding it as a function in the schema, as a hook and as a hidden field in the form on the page (obviously don’t want to go that route).
Autoform is amazing and I want to use it, but may have to wire it up the hard way if I can’t get this darn value to populate.
Any ideas? I’ve been hitting my head against the wall on this for a couple of days now.
Thanks!
