Meteor Default Collection Hooks

Assings createdAt, createdBy, modifiedAt, modifiedBy attributes to any collection in one line of code.

Getting Started

Installation:

meteor add goooseman:default-collection-hooks

Usage

var test = new Mongo.Collection("test");

test.defaultCollectionHooks(opts);

Options

opts is an object with the following options:

• createdAt (default: true): create a createdAt field with current date on object create
• createdBy (default: true): create a createdBy field with userId on object create (if there is any)
• modifiedAt (default: true): create a modifiedAt field with current date on object update
• modifiedBy (defulat: true): create a modifiedBy field with userId on object update (if there is any)

If you do not pass a options object, it will use the defaults. You can pass only the options you want to modify.

Examples

var test = new Mongo.Collection("test");

test.defaultCollectionHooks();

Will create createdAt, createdBy on object create and modifiedAt, modifiedBy attributes on object update.

var test = new Mongo.Collection("test");

test.defaultCollectionHooks({
  modifiedAt: false,
  modifiedBy: false
});

Will create createdAt, createdBy on object create, and do nothing on object update.
