Meteor: How do I check if a collection exists

I am using accounts entry, and as you may know, it doesn't allow taking you to separate pages on signup and signin.

So, what I want to do is check if a field called under profile called "avatar" exists. I just want a true or false answer (or null, -1, etc).

How can I do this?

Here's a function that will return a boolean indicating if the avatar field exists in the current user's profile:

var hasAvatar = function() {
  var user = Meteor.user();
  return user && user.profile && user.profile.avatar;
};

If its a user collection where all the user data is stored, you can simply do Meteor.user() in the browser console and get the data.

If you have stored in some mongo collection than all you got to do is CollectionName.find().fetch()

Also if you have avatar field in profile of user collection than you can simple do Meteor.user().profile.avatar It will show an object if it exist. :)

try and let me know :)
