How to get meteor-sharejs documents text

Question

I am using meteor-sharejs

I add the package

meteor add mizzao:sharejs-ace

Now in my view, i add the document

{{> sharejsAce docid="javascriptDoc" id="editor"}}

I know that meteor-sharejs creates ops collection and docs.

My Questions is how do i grab the current raw text of of the "javascriptDoc" document on the server so i send it somewhere else. Like listen for changes and grab that content.

Answer 1

You probably want to check the ShareJS API for this.

mizzao:sharejs is currently using ShareJS 0.6.3; here is the server API . You probably want to use the getSnapshot function.

The package makes ShareJS available in ShareJS.model , so try ShareJS.model.getSnapShot(...) on the server.

Note: I wrote this package.

My final solution

   Meteor.methods({

    getDocumentText: function () {
        var result = getSnapshotSync('htmlDocumentId');
        return result.snapshot;
    }

});

//create sync method.    
getSnapshotSync = Meteor.wrapAsync(ShareJS.model.getSnapshot)
