get collection from client in meteor/node js

Question

I am trying to get a collection from client using meteor.

From client:

  Template.mapBody.onCreated(function() { var date = this.subscribe("friendUsers"); for (x in date) { console.log(x); } }); 

From server:

 if (Meteor.isServer){ Meteor.publish("friendUsers", getFriendUsers); function getFriendUsers() { return Ski_Stations.find(); } } 

I get nothing in the console. Does some one have any ideas about this problem?

From the meteor documentation - Meteor.subscribe returns a subscription handle, which is great for stopping or seeing if the subscription is ready. But I'm not sure this is what you want in this case. I think you are going to want to iterate the collection like this..

var friendCursor = friendUsers.find();
var friend;
while ( friendCursor.hasNext() ) {
   friend = friendCursor.next();
   console.log( friend.somefieldhere );
}
