how to sync pages after logout and login on one of them?

After logout and login I try to click something on another page but see endless spinner due to userId null. How to sync Meteor.userId after changing user? ON server side:

Meteor.publish('myPublish', function () {
if (!this.userId) {
  return this.ready();
}
return Collection.find();});

On client side:

const handles = [
    Meteor.subscribe('settings')
  ];
  const loading = handles.some(handle => !handle.ready());

The Meteor.userId function is a reactive datasource, which allows you to autorun a Tracker and subscribe, when the userId is there.

Classic Meteor code would look like this:

Tracker.autorun(() => {
  if (Meteor.userId() && Meteor.user()) {
    Meteor.subscribe('settings') // will only execute, once the user is logged in
  }
})

For React you use withTracker and should include the Meteor.userId to your bindings:

export default withTracker(({ id }) => {
  const userId = Meteor.userId()
  const handles = userId && [
    Meteor.subscribe('todos.inList', id),
    Meteor.subscribe('otherSub'),
  ];
  const loading = !userId || handles.some(handle => !handle.ready());
  return {
    loading,
  };
})(MyComponent);

The call to Meteor.userId should activate the internal Tracker computation to re-run a cycle, once it returns a different value (a non-null value, once logged in).

You can also use Meteor.loggingIn as reactive data source:

export default withTracker(({ id }) => {
  const loggingIn = Meteor.loggingIn()
  const handles = !loggingIn && [
    Meteor.subscribe('todos.inList', id),
    Meteor.subscribe('otherSub'),
  ];
  const loading = loggingIn || handles.some(handle => !handle.ready());
  return {
    loading,
  };
})(MyComponent);
