In this step we gonna take care of the app's security and encapsulation, since we don't want the users to do whatever they want, and we don't want them to be able to see content which is irrelevant for them.
We gonna start by removing a Meteor
package named insecure
. This package provides the client with the ability to run collection mutation methods. This is a behavior we are not interested in since removing data and creating data should be done in the server and only after certain validations. Meteor
includes this package by default only for development purposes and it should be removed once our app is ready for production. As said, we will remove this package by typing the following command:
$ meteor remove insecure
Since we enabled restrictions to run certain operations on data-collections directly from the client, we will need to define a method on the server which will handle each of these. By calling these methods, we will be able to manipulate the data the way we want, but not directly. The first method we're going to take care of would be the removeChat
method, which will handle, obviously, chat removals by given ID:

Right now all the chats are published to all the clients which is not very good for privacy, and it's inefficient since the entire data-base is being fetched automatically rather than fetching only the data which is necessary for the current view. This behavior occurs because of a Meteor
package, which is installed by default for development purposes, called autopublish
. To get rid of the auto-publishing behavior we will need to get rid of the autopublish
package as well:
$ meteor remove autopublish
