Adding post examples
To query the database for posts, we need to add some post examples. This has to be done on the server, as we want to add them persistently. To add an example post, perform the following steps:
- We create a file called
main.js
inside ourmy-meteor-blog/server
folder. Inside this file, we will use theMeteor.startup()
function to execute the code on the start of the server. - We then add the post example, but only when the collection is empty. So to prevent this, we add them every time we restart the server, as follows:
Meteor.startup(function(){ console.log('Server started'); // #Storing Data -> Adding post examples if(Posts.find().count() === 0) { console.log('Adding dummy posts'); var dummyPosts = [ { title: 'My First entry', slug: 'my-first-entry', description: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.', text: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...', timeCreated: moment...
