How do you change the reset password URL in meteor?

Question

I am using meteor along with the accounts-password package. I\'m rolling my own login and password changing/resetting UI and want to know...

How can I custom

Answer 1

Late to the party ...

Instead of changing the whole text, you can just change the url with:

Meteor.startup(function() {
 Accounts.urls.resetPassword = function(token) {
    return Meteor.absoluteUrl('reset-password/' + token);
  };
});

Answer 2

See the section on email templates in the Meteor docs:

resetPassword: An Object with two fields:

• resetPassword.subject: A Function that takes a user object and returns a String for the subject line of a reset password email.
• resetPassword.text: A Function that takes a user object and a url, and returns the body text for a reset password email.

You can customise which url is passed to the reset password email method:

Accounts.resetPassword.text = function(user, url) {
  return "Click this link to reset your password: /reset-password/" + myId;
}

Answer 3

It has changed a little bit:

You have to use

Accounts.emailTemplates.resetPassword.text

For the url you can simply replace the hashbang instead of parsing the token from the url. As an example (in coffeescript):

Meteor.startup(() ->
  Accounts.emailTemplates.resetPassword.text = (user, url) ->
     url = url.replace('#/', '')
     return "Click this link to reset your password: " + url
)

ES6

Meteor.startup(() =>
  Accounts.emailTemplates.resetPassword.text = function(user, url) {
     url = url.replace('#/', '');
     return `Click this link to reset your password: ${url}`;
   }
);
