I run into a brick wall whenever I face meteor, but I have also been distracted by my VR pursuits. I need to settle down and concentrate on completing the final freecodecamp backend project. I feel terrible and fat and instead of wallowing I am just going to not punish myself for losing a week of productivity and just press on. It is 9pm here and I am pressing on.

this is very very similar to the meteorchef/base project except that when documents are created they are also visible to unauthenticated visitors and the documents have an ownership model. this is what I need to build before finally messing with the image views.

Todo list to create base-fcc

  • add ownership model to documents
  • modify Documents page to My Documents
  • modify main page to All Documents (viewable unauthenticated)

Steps to adding ownership model

  • edit imports/api/documents/documents.js to include owner <- schema edit requires rebuild of meteor server
  • edit imports/api/documents/methods.js to add owner to api validation
  • edit imports/modules/document-editor.js to supply Meteor.userId()
  • edit imports/ui/components/DocumentEditor.js to display doc.owner
  • edit imports/ui/pages/ViewDocument.js to display doc.owner

10.30 here and I have got the ownership model working. Next I will need to modify the Documents api to just My Documents.
