inside the my-meteor-blog/server
folder and add the following lines of code:
Meteor.publish('all-posts', function () { return Posts.find(); });
The
Meteor.publish
function will create a publication called all-posts
and return a cursor with all the posts from the Post
collection in that publication.
Now, we only have to tell the client to subscribe to this publication and we will see our posts again.
We create a file called subscriptions.js
inside the my-meteor-blog/client
folder with the following content:
Meteor.subscribe('all-posts');
Now, when we check out our website, we can see that our blog posts have reappeared.
This happens because the client will subscribe to the all-posts
publication when the subsciptions.js
file is executed, which happens right before the page is fully loaded, as Meteor adds the subsciptions...
