Using node-csv and meteor-file to import CSV into a collection

Question

Been struggling for several hours now trying to import CSV, uploaded from client using meteor-file and converted to CSV using node-csv serv

Answer 1

So it turns out because CSV() uses a callback and runs Asynchronous code, I needed to use a 'Future'. For more explaination see http://gist.io/3443021

here's my working code:

Meteor.methods({
     'uploadFile': function (file) {

      Future = Npm.require('fibers/future');

      console.log(file.name+'\'+file.type+'\'+file.size);                       

      file.save('/home/russell/tmp',{});
      var buffer = new Buffer(file.data);


      // Set up the Future
      var fut = new Future(); 

      // Convert buffer (a CSV file) to an array
      CSV().from(
                   buffer.toString(),
                   {comment: '#', delimiter: ',', quote: ''} 
                )
           .to.array( function(data){

                                       var newRecords=[];

                                       for(var row=0; row

});
