Schema

Below is default Files collection schema. Please keep default schema structure when extending it!. To pass your own schema use schema property when passing config to FilesCollection constructor.

For more info see Collection2 and simple-schema packages.

var defaultSchema = {
  size: {
    type: Number
  },
  name: {
    type: String
  },
  type: {
    type: String
  },
  path: {
    type: String
  },
  isVideo: {
    type: Boolean
  },
  isAudio: {
    type: Boolean
  },
  isImage: {
    type: Boolean
  },
  isText: {
    type: Boolean
  },
  isJSON: {
    type: Boolean
  },
  _prefix: {
    type: String
  },
  extension: {
    type: String,
    optional: true
  },
  _storagePath: {
    type: String
  },
  _downloadRoute: {
    type: String
  },
  _collectionName: {
    type: String
  },
  public: {
    type: Boolean,
    optional: true
  },
  meta: {
    type: Object,
    blackbox: true,
    optional: true
  },
  userId: {
    type: String,
    optional: true
  },
  updatedAt: {
    type: Date,
    autoValue: function() {
      return new Date();
    }
  },
  versions: {
    type: Object,
    blackbox: true
  }
};

Attach schema (Recommended):

Although this package comes with schema it isn't enabled (attached) by default (since v1.5.0), you're free to use it or not. To attach schema you need to install Collection2 and simple-schema packages separately.

this.Images = new FilesCollection({ collectionName: 'Images'});
Images.collection.attachSchema(new SimpleSchema(Images.schema));

Extend default schema:

var mySchema = _.extend(defaultSchema, {
  myProp: {
    type: String
  }
});

this.Images = new FilesCollection({
  collectionName: 'Images',
  schema: new SimpleSchema(mySchema)
});

Pass your own schema (not recommended):

var mySchema = { /* Your schema here */ };

this.Images = new FilesCollection({
  collectionName: 'Images',
  schema: new SimpleSchema(mySchema)
});
