Meteor package that allows you to define helpers on your collections

Overview

Meteor Collection Helpers streamline the process of managing data by providing a way to automatically set up transformations in your collections. This powerful feature enhances the Meteor framework's capabilities, allowing developers to create more straightforward models that align with the functionality of template helpers. By integrating these helpers, you can enhance both the client and server experience without the hassle of manually managing data transformations.

The ability to resolve relationships through collection helpers not only simplifies your code but also reduces the need for excessive template helpers, making your application cleaner and more maintainable. With the flexibility to apply transformations directly to collections like Meteor.users, developers can easily customize their data handling as needed.

Features

  • Automatic Transformation: Automatically applies transformations on collections using Meteor's Mongo.Collection transform option, simplifying model management.

  • Simplified Model Interface: Offers a straightforward interface similar to template helpers, making it easier to work with data structures.

  • Efficient Relationship Management: Resolves relationships directly through collection helpers, eliminating the need for additional template helpers.

  • Flexibility Across Client and Server: Helpers can be written to be accessible by both client and server, providing a seamless integration experience.

  • Direct Transformation Application: Allows the option to apply transformations directly to objects, enhancing handling capabilities.

  • Testing Support: Built with testing in mind, ensuring functionality can be verified easily.

  • Open Source License: Distributed under the MIT license, promoting community collaboration and usage.
