Can't get logged user in 'protected' function

Hi,

I’m trying to add some security when downloading files but I can’t get the user info inside the ‘protected’ function. My configuration looks like this:

Documents = new Meteor.Files({
  storagePath: "D:/temp",
  collectionName: 'documents',
  downloadRoute: '/doc',
  allowClientCode: true,
  chunkSize: 256*128,
  protected: (fileObj) => {
    console.log(fileObj);
    return true;
  }
});

The file is downloaded and I can get the info of the fileObj but I tried this.userId (undefined), this.user() -gives an TypeError… has no method ‘user’.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello @thomasspiesser, the following code is working for me now:

Documents = new Meteor.Files({
  storagePath: "/Users/danielruiz/dev/temp",
  collectionName: 'documents',
  downloadRoute: '/doc',
  onbeforeunloadMessage: 'Sure?',
  allowClientCode: true,
  chunkSize: 4096*128,
  protected: function(fileObj) {
    // console.log('protected js userId: ' + this.userId);
    if (!this.userId) {
      return 401;
    }
    return true;
  },
  downloadCallback: function(fileObj) {
    // console.log(fileObj);
    // console.log('downloadCallback js userId: ' + this.userId);
    // console.log('downloadCallback js user() ' + this.user());
    // return true;
    if (!this.userId || !fileObj)
      return 401;
    if (this.user()._id == fileObj.meta.owner_id) {
      return true;
    }
    return 401;
  }
});

Hello,

I finally solve the problem with the combination of protected and downloadCallback. This is the code:

...
  protected: function(fileObj) {
    console.log('protected js userId: ' + this.userId);
    if (!this.userId) {
      return 401;
    }
    return true;
  },
  downloadCallback: function(fileObj) {
    console.log(fileObj);
    console.log('js userId: ' + this.userId);
    console.log('js user() ' + this.user());

    if (!this.userId || !fileObj)
      return 401;
    if (this.user()._id == fileObj.meta.owner_id) {
      return true;
    }
    return 401;
  }
...

Thanks
