Meteor methods wait before execution on client proceeds -

could please tell me how make clients wait until called function on server executed?

my code:

meteor.methods({ marklettersasread: function(userid) {     if(servervar) {         users.update({_id: userid}, {$set: {letters: []}}); // removing references     } } 

});

template.letter.events({ 'click a': function() {     meteor.call('marklettersasread', meteor.userid(), this._id, function(err) {         if (err) {             console.log(err);         }     });     var usersexistswiththisletter = users.find({letters: {_id: this._id}}).count();     console.log(usersexistswiththisletter); } 

});

in example usersexistswiththisletter 1 because users.find() doesn't wait until meteor.call done. verified checking database , no users exists entries in letters array.

any appreciated.

you need query collection inside callback, because can server method has been executed. (note self variable declaration):

var self = this; meteor.call('marklettersasread', meteor.userid(), this._id, function(err) {    if (!err) {        var usersexistswiththisletter = users.find({letters: {_id: self._id}}).count();        console.log(usersexistswiththisletter);                    } else {        console.log(err);    } }); 

i hope helps!
