meteor-hook-server

You can combine some meteor methods in a group/groups to execute some hook before action each of them. For example, we can combine methods which are executing when user is logged.

Installation

$ meteor npm install --save meteor-hook-server

Usage

import { groupMethods as yourOwnName } from 'meteor-hook-server';

const hook = function() {
    return this.userId;
};

youOwnName(hook, {
	testMethod() {
		// call this method on client by Meteor.call('testMethod')
		// do here what you need
	}
});

testMethods method was executed when your hook returns a result equally "true" (if (your result) { // method is executed }). In another way your method will be prevented. In our example when user is logged - 'this.userId' returns a user id (it's true) and when the user isn't logged - it's null - false.

Data from a hook to a method.

If you need to pass some data from a hook to "method", you can get it from the last param in your method.

import { groupMethods as yourOwnName } from 'meteor-hook-server';

const hook = function() {
    return this.userId;
};

youOwnName(hook, {
	testMethods(some, other, params, id) {
		console.log(id); // this.userId
	}
});

Be attentive: if you want to keep the context (like in a server meteor method) in "hook" you need to use function() {} instead of an arrow function ( () => {} ).

Default group:

• authMethods: all methods are executed only when user is logged.

import { authMethods } from 'meteor-hook-server';

authMethods({
	testMethods() {
		// do here what you need
	}
});
