From the Meteor blog: Changes to allow/deny rules Starting in 0.5.8, client-only code such as event handlers may only update or remove a single document at a time, specified by _id.

As of Meteor 6.0, now we need to use Npm.require() instead. Additionally, we need to declare the module as global variables, since Meteor now has file-level scope. var path = Npm.require(‘path’); var fs = Npm.require(‘fs’); var base = path.resolve(‘.’); var isBundle = fs.existsSync(base + ‘/bundle’); var modulePath = base + (isBundle ? ‘/bundle/static’ : ‘/public’) … Read more

What you are looking for is a reactive join. You can accomplish this by directly using an observe in the publish function, or by using a library to do it for you. Meteor core is expected to have a join library at some point, but until then I’d recommend using publish-with-relations. Have a look at … Read more
On the server: var fs = Npm.require(‘fs’); var fail = function(response) { response.statusCode = 404; response.end(); }; var dataFile = function() { // TODO write a function to translate the id into a file path var file = fileFromId(this.params.id); // Attempt to read the file size var stat = null; try { stat = fs.statSync(file); … Read more
