How do I REconfigure Meteor's accounts-facebook, or where is Meteor's Facebook configuration?

Question

Meteor's accounts-facebook package was very easy to set up. To input the Facebook app ID and secret token, I loaded my meteor web app in a browser, and clicked on the login button, and then clicked 'Configure Facebook', which asked me for configuration values such as the app ID and secret token.

Now I want to change those and can't figure out where they're stored. I don't see them in any file in my meteor app's directory or subdirectories, nor are they in the database anywhere.

The configuration data is stored in mongodb.

If you load up

meteor mongo

Then use db.meteor_accounts_loginServiceConfiguration.find() you should see your config data

You can update it too! If you got back

{ "service" : "x", "appId" : "x", "secret" : "x", "_id" : "abc" }`

Within the same mongo shell:

db.meteor_accounts_loginServiceConfiguration.update({_id:'abc'},
    {$set:{"appId" : <new app id>, "secret" : <new secret>}});

(Using the _id field from the service configuration that you want to edit.

Within Meteor you can use this instead:

ServiceConfiguration.configurations.update({
    service:"facebook"
}, {
    $set: {
        <new params>
    }
});

Note to do this within meteor you need to add this package in with :

meteor add service-configuration
