Displaying all users in Meteor

Question

I have a template that I am trying to display all users in called userList.

//server

Meteor.publish("userList", function() {

var user = Meteor.users.findOne({
    _id: this.userId
});


if (Roles.userIsInRole(user, ["admin"])) {
    return Meteor.users.find({}, {
        fields: {
            profile_name: 1,
            emails: 1,
            roles: 1
        }
    });
}

this.stop();
return;
});

Thanks in advance for the help!

Answer 1

This should work!

// in server

    Meteor.publish("userList", function () {
           return Meteor.users.find({}, {fields: {emails: 1, profile: 1}});
    });

// in client

    Meteor.subscribe("userList");

if you want show all the user you can try in your publish.js file:

Meteor.publish('userList', function (){ 
  return Meteor.users.find({});
});

in your router you susbcribe to this

Router.route('/users', {
    name: 'usersTemplate',
    waitOn: function() {
        return Meteor.subscribe('userList');
    },
    data: function() {
        return Meteor.users.find({});       
    }
 });

The next step is iterate your data in the template.

if you don't want subscribe in the router, you can subscribe in template level, please read this article for more details.

This should work.

1. subscribe(client)
2. publish(server)

Client:

UserListCtrl = RouterController.extend({
    template: 'UserList',
    subscriptions: function () {
       return Meteor.subscribe('users.list', { summary: true });  
    },
    data: function () {
       return Meteor.users.find({});
    }
});

Server:

Meteor.publish('users.list', function (options) {
    check(arguments, Match.Any);
    var criteria = {}, projection= {};
    if(options.summary){
       _.extend(projection, {fields: {emails: 1, profile: 1}});
    }
    return Meteor.users.find(criteria, projection);
});
