Meteor.call checking array parameter

Question

I am doing a Meteor.call('searchDatabase', keys...) that is executed whenever a user submits a search. I am currently passing an array of the words submitted called keys. However, I do not know how to do the necessary check(keys, ?) on the server side. I originally thought that I could do keys.forEach(function(element) { check(element, String)}, but i still get a Did not check() all arguments error. Should i just pass the submitted search as its original string in the Meteor method call and then break it up on the server? or is there a way to check that keys is an array?

Answer 1

If keys is an array of strings, you can just do:

check(keys, [String]);

Your method would look something like:

Meteor.methods({
  searchDatabase: function(keys) {
    check(keys, [String]);
    // add other method code here
  }
})
