Autoform File

Description

DEPRECATED - Upload and manage files with autoForm for materialize

Important - I no longer use Meteor and won't be updating this project anymore. Please use https://github.com/mozfet/meteor-autoform-file-materialize which will be updated. Thanks to @mozfet for taking over this project.

Forked from yogiben:autoform-file

Quick Start

1. Install meteor add gildaspk:autoform-file-materialize

2. Create your collectionFS (See collectionFS)

@Images = new FS.Collection("images",
  stores: [new FS.Store.GridFS("images", {})]
)

3. Make sure the correct allow rules & subscriptions are set up on the collectionFS

Images.allow
  insert: (userId, doc) ->
    true
  download: (userId)->
    true

and

Meteor.publish 'images', ->
  Images.find()

and in your router.coffee

  @route "profile",
    waitOn: ->
      [
        Meteor.subscribe 'images'
      ]

4. Define your schema and set the autoform property like in the example below

Schemas = {}

@Posts = new Meteor.Collection('posts');

Schemas.Posts = new SimpleSchema
	title:
		type:String
		max: 60

	picture:
		type: String
		autoform:
			afFieldInput:
				type: 'fileUpload'
				collection: 'Images'
        label: 'Choose file' # optional

Posts.attachSchema(Schemas.Posts)

The collection property is the field name of your collectionFS.

5. Generate the form with {{> quickform}} or {{#autoform}}

e.g.

{{> quickForm collection="Posts" type="insert"}}

or

{{#autoForm collection="Posts" type="insert"}}
{{> afQuickField name="title"}}
{{> afQuickField name="picture"}}
<button type="submit" class="waves-effect waves-light btn">
  <i class="mdi-content-send.right"></i>
  Insert
</button>
{{/autoForm}}

###Security & optimization### The above example is just a starting point. You should set your own custom allow rules and optimize your subscriptions.

The remove button delete the file from your CFS collection. Take care to update your document accordingly or you'll get invalid references.

Customization

You can customize the button / remove text.

Defaults:

{{> afFieldInput name="picture" label=">" remove-label="Remove" placeholder="Please select a file"}}

You can add metadata to your file:

Template

{{> afFieldInput name="picture" metadata=metadataHelper}}

Helper

Templates.myTemplate.helpers({
  metadataHelper: function(){
    return {
      userId: Meteor.userId()
    }
  }
});

You can enable drop zone by setting dropEnabled to true (default is false).

Dropzone CSS classes can be defined with dropClasses (default is card-panel grey lighten-4 grey-text text-darken-4)

Dropzone text can be defined with dropLabel (default is Drop your file here)
