I would like to send constructors via EJSON through methods:
server.js
Meteor.methods({
'testConstructor' (doc) {
console.log(doc) // {}
}
})
client.js
Meteor.call({ type: String })
I thought of adding the types via EJSON.addType but it currently only supports instances and not constructors. I tried to wrap the String constructor inside a class like this:
Meteor.startup(function () {
class StrWrap {
constructor (val) {
this.val = val
}
toJSONValue () {
return {
value: this.val
}
}
typeName () {
return String.name
}
}
EJSON.addType(String, function (json) {
return String
})
const str = EJSON.stringify({ type: String})
console.log(str) // {}
})
Still no chance. In a related issue it has been mentioned, that the EJSON supports String, Number etc. but I think that was targeting the instances of these classes.
I currently work this around using native JSON replacer for JSON.stringify and resolver for JSON.parse but this adds a full conversion layer to every DDP protocol interaction and I'd like to support constructors out of the box, so I can send schemas around for service discovery.
