meteor-counters
A simple counter collection to keep number sequencing.
Installation
$ meteor add kenken:meteor-countersThis is just a simple package that keep the number sequence of any collection.
###Available Methods
####getNextSequence(collection)
The getNextSequence() will take in a collection name (a string), and return the current sequence. Think of it as the auto increment column in mySQL. If the collection name is not found, it will create a counter.
Examples:
MCounters.getNextSequence('myCollection'); // will return 1, since no previous counter named 'myCollection'
MCounters.getNextSequence('myCollection'); // will return 2####setSequence(collection, seq)
The setSequence() will take in a collection name (a string), and one integer sequence. If the collection name is not found, it will create a counter and set the sequence.
Examples:
MCounters.setSequence('myCollection', 100); // will return 100####checkNextSequence(collection)
Similar to getNextSequence(), checkNextSequence() will take in a collection name (a string), and return the next sequence but will not set the counter.
Examples:
MCounters.checkNextSequence('myCollection'); // will return 1, since no previous counter named 'myCollection'
MCounters.setNextSequence('myCollection', 100); // set the counter to 100
MCounters.checkNextSequence('myCollection'); // will return 101####checkCurrentSequence(collection)
Similar to checkNextSequence(), checkCurrentSequence() will take in a collection name (a string), and return the current sequence but will not set the counter. 0 will return if no collection found.
Examples:
MCounters.checkCurrentSequence('myCollection'); // will return 0, since no previous counter named 'myCollection'
MCounters.setNextSequence('myCollection', 100); // set the counter to 100
MCounters.checkCurrentSequence('myCollection'); // will return 100
