Class helpers

Tiny package to add class functionality to Meteor in general and to collections.

We wrapped the by the Meteor recommended way of creating classes and adding it to the transform options of Mongo.Collection, so we have a cleaner syntax.

Installation

meteor add japetheape:class-helpers

Example

In this example we make a simple class and attach it to a collection so every find returns an instance of this class.

Define a class

Here we define a simple class.

var Game = ClassHelpers.createClass({
  test: function() {
    return 'test';
  }
});

var gameInstance = new Game();
gameInstance.test();

Attach the class to a collection

Games = new Mongo.collection('game')
Games.attachClass(Game);

// fetch the first game
var game = Games.findOne();

game.test()
// -> 'test'
