Meteor Accounts?

[praneybehl]

This repo is awesome, just wondering if using rethinkdb can Meteor accounts packages be used, if so then how can that be done?

Thanks mate.

Hi Praney,

right now Meteor's account system is tightly coupled with MongoDB therefore you can't easily swap out the db. There are already several issues on the Meteor repository like Separating mongo, ddp, and accounts-base #4915 to hopefully change that. So in the meantime try searching on NPM for another accounts package.

Yeah thats what I suspected. Thanks though.

@praneybehl yea the easiest route is to use mongo for accounts and rethink for the rest (or any other db). GraphQL makes this seamless though as you can just request a user and it gets blended together.

You can roll your own auth for RethinkDB but it's tedious.
