I'm new to Meteor and programming, if this doesn't make sense or you need more info please let me know.
I'm loading a profile page of another user. So I have 2 userIds; this.userId and the other users Id. I want to use autoValue to save both userIds when an action is taken. I can't figure out how to set the other users id even though I can display it on the html page.
Path: schema.js
Schemas.class = new SimpleSchema({
Title: {
type: String,
optional: true
},
teacherProfile: {
type: String,
optional: true,
autoValue: function() {
return this.userId
},
autoform: {
type: "hidden"
}
},
studentProfileId: {
type: String,
optional: true,
type: String,
autoform: {
defaultValue: "studentProfileId",
type: "hidden"
}
}
});
Path: profile.js
Template.teacherProfile.helpers({
studentProfile: ()=> {
var id = FlowRouter.getParam('id');
return Meteor.users.findOne({_id: id});
}
});
