meteor Publishing Data Publish into an ephemeral client-side named collection.
Example
For if you have to fine-tune what is published.
import { Mongo } from 'meteor/mongo';
import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
import { Random } from 'meteor/random';
if (Meteor.isClient) {
// established this collection on the client only.
// a name is required (first parameter) and this is not persisted on the server.
const Messages = new Mongo.Collection('messages');
Meteor.startup(function () {
Meteor.subscribe('messages');
Messages.find().observe({
added: function (message) {
console.log('Received a new message at ' + message.timestamp);
}
});
})
}
if (Meteor.isServer) {
// this will add a new message every 5 seconds.
Meteor.publish('messages', function () {
const interval = Meteor.setInterval(() => {
this.added('messages', Random.id(), {
message: '5 seconds have passed',
timestamp: new Date()
})
}, 5000);
this.added('messages', Random.id(), {
message: 'First message',
timestamp: new Date()
});
this.onStop(() => Meteor.clearInterval(interval));
});
}
