References between collections.

meteor add shuttler:ref

var b = new Mongo.Collection('a');
b.insert({ _id: 'c' });
var c = b.findOne('c');
c.Ref(); // { id: 'c', collection: 'a' }

Helper added to all documents in all the collections. Generates an object-reference to that document.

The optional arguments are appended prefix to the keys in result object-reference.

c.Ref('_prefix'); // { '_prefix.id': 'c', '_prefix.collection': 'a' }

Find and returns the document by reference, or undefined.

Like Shuttler.Ref, but if ref is a document returns it back.

Generates an object-reference.

If arguments is wrong, thrown Meteor.Error('unexpected reference').

• If ref is Document then uses ref.Ref(prefix).
• If ref is Ref then add prefix to the keys in ref.
• If ref is String then use ref as id field in Ref without collection field.

The optional arguments are appended prefix to the keys in result object-reference.

It must be a valid reference, else returns undefined.

If ref is object with string id and optional string collection, then returns true.

Ready scheme for use with packages SimpleSchema and Collection2.

• Remove dependecie from dburles:mongo-collection-instances

• Shuttler.Ref.new
• collection field is optional
