How do I update currentUser after Accounts.createUser() and Accounts.loginWithPassword()?

Question

I am trying to create my own UI for signing up/logging in users:

'submit .signin': function(event){
    var user = {'email':event.target.email.value, 'password' :event.target.password.value}
    Accounts.createUser(user, function(err) {
         if (err){
            console.log(err);
         } else
            console.log('success!');
    });
    Meteor.loginWithPassword(user['email'], user['password'], function(error){
            if(error){
                console.log(error)
            }
            else{
                console.log('success')
            }
    });
}

My question is once this code logs in the user, how do I set the currentUser the way loginButtons automatically does after you sign in. Thanks!

You don't have to call login after user is created. To modify user data you can use http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/accounts_oncreateuser
