Function in Meteor.js always returns False when wrapped inside another Function
I have a function in Meteor.js which does not behave as expected when I wrap it inside another function. In the example provided below,
I use the "if OnlyBank()" function twice: In one instance, the "if onlyBank()" function is simply dropped inside HTML. (see figure 1)
This works, and returns True/False as expected.
However, when I put this function inside another function (specifically, the "if currentUser" function) it always returns false. (see figure 2)
I suspect this may be a problem with local/global scope, but I do not know how to fix this problem. Can anyone provide any help?
I am new to Meteor and stack overflow.
Javascript
Template.body.helpers({
onlyBank() {
return Banks.findOne({userId: Meteor.userId()}, Banks.accountNumber:{"$exists":false}, Banks.routingNumber:{"$exists": false});
},
});
HTML
<body>
<div class="container">
{{> loginButtons}}
{{#if onlyBank}}
True
{{else}}
False
{{/if}} <!-- Figure 1. This if statement will retun True when the onlyBank's conditions are met -->
<div class="row">
{{#if currentUser}}
<div class="col s8">
{{#if onlyBank}}
True
{{else}}
False
{{/if}} <!-- Figure 2. This if statement ALWAYS returns false -->
</div>
<div class="col s4">
{{> banks}}
</div>
{{else}}

if I got it right, the Meteor.userId is not a function.
You should use: {userId: Meteor.userId}
Maybe you give this a try:
Template.body.helpers({
onlyBank() {
return (Meteor.userId !== undefined) && (Banks.findOne({userId: Meteor.userId}, Banks.accountNumber:{"$exists":false}, Banks.routingNumber:{"$exists": false}) !== undefined);
},
});
This will return always a boolean value
