How to detect if user has just logged in or has just logged out?

[Len]

I tried googling but I couldn't find the answer.

If you're looking to register a callback when a user logs in you can use Accounts.onLogin():

http://docs.meteor.com/#accounts_onlogin

Not sure where there isn't Accounts.onLogout, but you can add a callback with Meteor.logout().

Careful because Accounts.onLogin is called only on server.

If you want to know when a user is logged in on client, you just do:

Deps.autorun(function () {
  if (Meteor.user()) console.log('User is logged');

  else console.log('User is not logged');
});

Deps.autorun seems like the way to go, but I'm using Iron-Router and I'd like to redirect but Router.go doesn't seem to work inside deps.autorun.

[Gabriel Pugliese]

Yes, it does. Can you post the code?

I actually found out that I can do this within iron-router, here is the link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22900405/how-to-redirect-after-user-has-just-logged-in-or-just-logged-out?answertab=votes#tab-top

On the server side, you probably want to use https://github.com/mizzao/meteor-user-status

Should you need client-side callbacks, I just published this package:
