Meteor - How can I limit which fields are published to the client?

Question

I want to publish only a limited amount of data to the client.

I've tried to do it like this:

# server
Meteor.publish('users', ->
  Meteor.users.find({},
    fields:
      services: 0
  )
)

But the client still receives the whole object.

# client
Meteor.startup( ->
  Meteor.subscribe('users')
)

# ... 
# in another function
Meteor.users.find().observe( ->
  changed: (updated) ->
    console.log updated
)

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Meteor.publish '', ->
    Posts.find({}, { fields: { title: 1, content: true, secret: false } });

what about add those {}

Answer 2

The code below works for me (coffeescript). The pwd field isn't published.

Server

Meteor.publish "users", (userId) ->
  user = Users.find userId,
    fields:
      pwd: false

  return user

Client

Meteor.autosubscribe ->
    userId = Session.get SESSION_USER

    Meteor.subscribe 'users', userId

The only differences I see are

• 0 vs false... (should be a matter of taste, only)
• Your collection is accessed via Meteor
• In the client my subscription is placed inside a autosubscribe callback while you're using the observe method.

Do the fields exists in the result of Meteor.users.find().fetch() in the browsers console, too?
