How to associate post field with user email? [METEOR]

I have a posts model that I have published and is working fine. However, I have added the following field via simpleSchemas plugin: 

userEmail: {
  type: String,
  autoValue: function() {
    if (this.isInsert) {
      return Meteor.user().email;
    } else if (this.isUpsert) {
      return {$setOnInsert: Meteor.user().email};
    } else {
      this.unset();
    }
  }
}

When I have this enabled, submit forms don't work, but don't raise any errors. Am I perhaps calling on Meteor.user().email incorrectly? How do I associate the userEmail field with the email of the user who created the post?

Solution

  • The correct syntaxis is.

    Meteor.user().emails[0].address
