Autoform File

Description

Upload and manage files with autoForm.

Meteor autoform file

Quick Start

  1. Install meteor add yogiben:autoform-file

  2. Create your collectionFS (See collectionFS)

@Images = new FS.Collection("images",
  stores: [new FS.Store.GridFS("images", {})]
)
  1. Make sure the correct allow rules & subscriptions are set up on the collectionFS
Images.allow
  insert: (userId, doc) ->
    true
  download: (userId)->
    true

and

Meteor.publish 'images', ->
  Images.find()

and in your router.coffee

  @route "profile",
    waitOn: ->
      [
        Meteor.subscribe 'images'
      ]
  1. Define your schema and set the autoform property like in the example below
Schemas = {}

@Posts = new Meteor.Collection('posts');

Schemas.Posts = new SimpleSchema
	title:
		type:String
		max: 60
		
	picture:
		type: String
		autoform:
			afFieldInput:
				type: 'fileUpload'
				collection: 'Images'
        label: 'Choose file' # optional

Posts.attachSchema(Schemas.Posts)

The collection property is the field name of your collectionFS.

  1. Generate the form with {{> quickform}} or {{#autoform}}

e.g.

{{> quickForm collection="Posts" type="insert"}}

or

{{#autoForm collection="Posts" type="insert"}}
{{> afQuickField name="title"}}
{{> afQuickField name="picture"}}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Insert</button>
{{/autoForm}}

###Security & optimization### The above example is just a starting point. You should set your own custom allow rules and optimize your subscriptions.
