Question

Imagine, I have a user that connects on a meteor app on 2 different browser tabs, or 2 different browsers, or 2 different computer.

My app needs to distinguish that with a unique id (userid+???).

What can I use to identify this on the client and on the server?

A use case is for example, a user locks a field to be able to edit it, we don’t want anybody else to edit it even if it’s the same user on another tab/windows/browser/computer.

Answer 1

Something like:

Meteor.startup(function () {
    window.uniqueUser = Meteor.uuid();
});
