Core API for publications and subscriptions (pubsub)

Prevent misusage of Publish and Subscribe.

Rule Details

This rule aims to prevent errors when using Publications and Subscriptions.

The following patterns are considered warnings:

// on the server
Meteor.subscribe('foo') // cannot subscribe on server
Meteor.publish() // missing arguments

// on the client
Meteor.publish('foo') // cannot publish on client
Meteor.subscribe() // at least one argument

The following patterns are not warnings:

// anywhere
if (Meteor.isServer) {
  Meteor.publish('foo', function () {})
}

When Not To Use It

Disable this rule if Meteor.isServer and Meteor.isClient checks happen in dynamic ways.

Limitations

• Meteor.isServer and Meteor.isClient checks must happen in if-conditions with exactly one condition.
• Usage of methods and properties available through the context of publication functions is not verified
• Does not verify usage of DDPRateLimiter
