Access user email address in Meteor JS app

rated 0 times [ 73] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 15769 / 12 Years ago, sat, december 22, 2012, 12:00:00

I am building an app using Meteor and need to access the stored email address of a logged-in user.

I am currently using:

var userObj = Meteor.user();

console.log(userObj);

to access the user. However, I am only able to access the id. The email address is stored in a nested object that looks like this:

[Object {[email protected], verified=false}]

I have tried various ways to traverse the JSON object but can't figure out how to access the value I need.

Meteor.user().emails[0].address works for me.

Here's what the doc says:

By default the server publishes username, emails, and profile. See
Meteor.users for more on the fields used in user documents.

Example user document:

{

  _id: bbca5d6a-2156-41c4-89da-0329e8c99a4f,  // Meteor.userId()

  username: cool_kid_13, // unique name

  emails: [

    // each email address can only belong to one user.

    { address: [email protected], verified: true },

    { address: [email protected], verified: false }

  ],

  createdAt: 1349761684042,

  profile: {

    // The profile is writable by the user by default.

    name: Joe Schmoe

  },

  services: {

    facebook: {

      id: 709050, // facebook id

      accessToken: AAACCgdX7G2...AbV9AZDZD

    },

    resume: {

      loginTokens: [

        { token: 97e8c205-c7e4-47c9-9bea-8e2ccc0694cd,

          when: 1349761684048 }

      ]

    }

  }

}
