How Can I Publish The Same Collection Under Different Names In A Meteor App?

Solution 1:

The Meteor livedata package does some magic with collections & subscriptions when you return a Cursor in Meteor.publish(..).

Tom Coleman gave a good example of how you can bend Meteor to do what you are looking for here: In Meteor how can I publish one server side mongo collection under different names?

Essentially you should do as he suggested, either:-

• Call that internal _publishCursor function passing in your PlayLists.find({}) cursor and latestlists as your subscription name.

-Or-

• Copy the _publishCursor function and put it into a package for reusability.

Both approaches would work and I'd favour the latter as I am always wary about calling internal functions as they are liable to change underneath you.
