README
Extended Meteor.userId() and Meteor.user()
==========================================
Adding this package to your [Meteor](http://www.meteor.com/) application:
* makes [`Meteor.userId()`](http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/meteor_userid)
work also inside the publish endpoint functions (even for Meteor versions prior to 1.5.1)
* prevents direct modification of the user's profile from the client, which
is otherwise allowed by Meteor
* extends [`Meteor.user(userId)`](http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/meteor_user)
into `Meteor.user(userId, fields)` which now accepts an argument to limit
queried fields (and thus function's reactivity); `userId` is optional and if
not specified `Meteor.userId()` is used instead
Both client and server side.
Installation
------------
```
meteor add peerlibrary:user-extra

}
});
```
