I'm using aldeed:simple-schema and here's the code:

Cities = new Mongo.Collection('cities');

Cities.insert({
    name: 'Oslo'
});

Cities.insert({
    name: 'Helsinki'
});

Contact = new SimpleSchema({
    city: {
        type: String,
        allowedValues: Cities.find().map((e) => e.name) // written ES6-style for readability; in fact, here goes an ES5 anonymous function definition
    }
});

What it does is explicitly binds currently existing cities from Cities collection to Contact schema's certain field's allowed values, so it's then impossible to store any other value than "Oslo" or "Helsinki".

But when posting a quickForm, the field (select, actually) has no options.

If I rewrite the mapping function to

(e) => {
    console.log(e);
    return e.name;
}

then I get

I20150911-18:07:23.334(4)? { _id: 'GLAbPa6N4W4c9GZZh', name: 'Oslo' }
I20150911-18:07:23.333(4)? { _id: 'vb64X5mKpMbDNzCkw', name: 'Helsinki' }

in server logs, which makes me think the mapping function is correct.

At the very same time, doing all this in Mongo console returns desirable result:

production-d:PRIMARY> db.cities.find().map(function (e) { return e.name; });
[ "Oslo", "Helsinki" ]

What do I do wrong? Is it impossible to fill the simple-schema's allowedValues array at the run time?

  • There is no options and probably no allowed value as well. At the time the simpleschema is initiated, collections are not so the call returns nothing. Maybe you can find a workaround by changing the load order. – ko0stik Sep 15 '15 at 10:57
