Andrew Mao's solution. Average Aggregation Queries in Meteor
Meteor.publish("someAggregation", function (args) {
var sub = this;
// This works for Meteor 0.6.5
var db = MongoInternals.defaultRemoteCollectionDriver().mongo.db;
// Your arguments to Mongo's aggregation. Make these however you want.
var pipeline = [
{ $match: doSomethingWith(args) },
{ $group: {
_id: whatWeAreGroupingWith(args),
count: { $sum: 1 }
}}
];
db.collection("server_collection_name").aggregate(
pipeline,
// Need to wrap the callback so it gets called in a Fiber.
Meteor.bindEnvironment(
function(err, result) {
// Add each of the results to the subscription.
_.each(result, function(e) {
// Generate a random disposable id for aggregated documents
sub.added("client_collection_name", Random.id(), {
key: e._id.somethingOfInterest,
count: e.count
});
});
sub.ready();
},
function(error) {
Meteor._debug( "Error doing aggregation: " + error);
}
)
);
});
