Meteor Users collection vs additional collection -

-

i'n trying figure out, what's best practice building collections associated user's data.(in terms of reactive, queries speed, or other.) example, what's better? meteor.users.profile: {friends, likes, previous orders, locations, favorites, etc"}. or create additional collection keep data, example: meteor.userinfo.user{friends, locations, previous orders, etc"). thanks.

use users collection store information user isn't related other collections. typically should @ top level of user document, not inside profile. thing i'd expect see in profile profile information (and not, instance, list of previous orders).

things previous orders shouldn't there since can query orders collection find them. performance reasons is useful denormalise data, should exception, not rule.

thanks, if have dashboard want see user's info, have run queries collections id. doesn't makes sense keep on collection (usersinfo) user's ref info, , query collections directly ref id? other way around? – avi a jan 21 '16 @ 9:26

denormalising data hard work. every time add/remove order, instance, need update user too. code more complex, there more room bugs. it's unnecessary. time justified performance enhancements, , dashboard hardly seems necessary. can denormalise later if needed. – tarmes jan 21 '16 @ 9:30
    
got it. calllbacks each method hard , dangerous work. manipulating insert id user's id? _id: createdby--uuid? – avi a jan 21 '16 @ 9:51

absolutely not. there's no difference in search speed, ensure have index on createdby field. – tarmes jan 21 '16 @ 13:06
