Check if a field in Meteor.users collection is true / false?

Question

I have a field in the Meteor.users collection that can be set to true or false. I want to check if the field for the current user is equal to true or false.

How would this be done?

Answer 1

inside a template

{{#if currentUser.isAwesome}}
  <p>You are awesome!</p>
{{/if}}

inside a publish function

Meteor.publish('something', function() {
  var user = Meteor.users.findOne(this.userId);
  if (user.isAwesome)
    console.log('You are awesome!');
});

anywhere else

if(Meteor.user().isAwesome)
  console.log('You are awesome!');

Note: If your custom field isn't visible on the client, please see this question.
