In Meteor, when you retrieve a record from a database, it\'s only a record. So if I have a collection called Dogs, a dog might have fur: \'br
Dogs
dog
fur: \'br
This is a relatively old question in terms of Meteor, but I think dburles:collection-helpers fits the bill of what you wanted to achieve, by implementing what Flavien Volken suggested. Perhaps it's useful for anyone wandering in here recently.
