(Question) addFile with gridfs

It seems that addFile API is not firing onAfterUpload callback so that the files are served on the location on the server. So I simulated after use it to maintain a file at the same collection.

Is there a better way to accomplish this?

DB_CSV_FILES.addFileSync = Meteor.wrapAsync DB_CSV_FILES.addFile, DB_CSV_FILES
_file = DB_CSV_FILES.addFileSync('/Users/kakadais/xmrig.sh')
Object.keys(_file.versions).forEach (versionName) ->
  metadata = {versionName, fileId: _file._id, createdAt: new Date()};
  writeStream = gfs.createWriteStream({filename: _file.name, metadata});
  fs.createReadStream(_file.versions[versionName].path).pipe(writeStream);
  writeStream.on 'close', Meteor.bindEnvironment (file) ->
    property = "versions.#{versionName}.meta.gridFsFileId"
    DB_CSV_FILES.update(_file._id, {$set: {"#{property}": file._id.toString()}})

@kakadais just a follow-up message here: gridfs-stream is deprecated, you should use Mongo-Internal gridFS buckets.

The wiki covers this topic: https://github.com/veliovgroup/Meteor-Files/wiki/GridFS-Bucket-Integration There is an example repo, too: https://github.com/veliovgroup/files-gridfs-autoform-example

I finally wrote a factory that creates FilesCollections with out-of-the-box gridFS bucket integration (will be updated the next days to work with zero-config): https://github.com/leaonline/grid-factory

@kakadais I’m glad we solved it quickly 🎉
