Extended Meteor.userId() and Meteor.user()

Adding this package to your Meteor application:

• makes Meteor.userId() work also inside the publish endpoint functions (even for Meteor versions prior to 1.5.1)
• prevents direct modification of the user's profile from the client, which is otherwise allowed by Meteor
• extends Meteor.user(userId) into Meteor.user(userId, fields) which now accepts an argument to limit queried fields (and thus function's reactivity); userId is optional and if not specified Meteor.userId() is used instead

Both client and server side.

Installation

meteor add peerlibrary:user-extra

Examples

1Template.user.helpers({
2  username: function () {
3    var user = Meteor.user({username: 1});
4    return user && user.username;
5  }
6});
