Meteor Autoform pushArray with nested schema

I'm using autoform for meteor. I have an array of nested schemas, like so:

addresses: {
  type: [Schemas.address],
  optional: true,
  defaultValue: []
}

and I'm attempting to add an address to the array using update-pushArray

{{> quickForm id="myformid" type="update-pushArray" doc=getDocument collection=getCollection scope="addresses"}}

But I'm getting these gems:

MinimongoError: Cannot apply $push modifier to non-array

"MongoError: The field 'addresses' must be an array but is of type Object in document {_id: "383EfPJgeZQJFgs72"} [409]"

So I tried wrapping it in an array in a formToDoc hook:

SimpleSchema.clean: filtered out value that would have affected key "0", which is not allowed by the schema

So... yeah. That's the limit of my fresh ideas. What do you have?

Solution

  • It looks like there was an issue with the update-pushArray type until a few days after you posted this question. According to aldeed you need to be running Autoform 5.0.2 and Meteor 1.0.3.1 or higher for it to work. http://github.com/aldeed/meteor-autoform/issues/788. Also, aldeed posted a sample that might help http://autoform.meteor.com/updatepush
