Question: How to reactively check roles in React with v4.0.0?

Open derwaldgeist opened this issue 9 months ago • 5 comments

I upgraded from Meteor 2 with [email protected] to Meteor 3 with [email protected]. With the old package, where the roles were bound to the user object, calls to Roles.isUserInRole() worked reactively. We used this a lot to enable or disable app features based on roles. It was pretty impressive when we just added new features to a user in a Zoom session.

But now, the user has to reload the page to get the upated roles information, although I publish the role information like this:

import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';

Meteor.publish(null, async function() {
 if (!this.userId) return this.ready();
 return Meteor.roleAssignment.find({ 'user._id': this.userId });
});

What is the best way to get back to the old reactivity in React? A hook maybe that works reactively?
