Accounts.onCreateUser adding extra attributes while creating new users, good practices?

Question

I\'m creating new user with Accounts.createUser() and it works normally if you are not doing anything fancy. But I want to add some other fields to new user that are not listed

Answer 1

The best thing I found to this issue is:

Accounts.onCreateUser(function(options, user) {
    // Use provided profile in options, or create an empty object
    user.profile = options.profile || {};

    // Assigns first and last names to the newly created user object
    user.profile.firstName = options.firstName;
    user.profile.lastName = options.lastName;

    // Returns the user object
    return user;`enter code here`
});
