API

Utils.objectToQueryString(obj)

Convert objects to query strings. Example:

const queryString = Utils.objectToQueryString({
  foo: bar, 
  foo1: bar1,
});

//=> queryString = 'foo=bar&foo1=bar1'

Utils.cloneObject(obj)

Create a clone of an Object. This function also inherits all it's prototypes. Example:

//test_schema.js
import SimpleSchema from 'simple-schema';



const testSchema = new SimpleSchema({ 
  id: String,
  createdAt: Date,
});

//../index.js
// We still want to keep testSchema as is so we clone it and extend the fields
const extendedSchema = Utils.cloneObject(testSchema);
extendedSchema.extend(new SimpleSchema({updatedAt: Date}));

Utils.isMobile()

This is a client side version to check if the app is running on mobile. Example:

Utils.isMobile()
//=> true
