You mean server/annotation.coffee?

Yes. Important is that publish function signature (arguments which it
takes) is the one client-side catalog code expects. See here for example:

https://github.com/peerlibrary/peerlibrary/blob/development/server/annotation.coffee#L251

(limit, filter, sortIndex)

We are using meteor-middleware package:

https://github.com/peerlibrary/meteor-middleware

Which allows some post-processing of documents. In your use case, you do
not have to be concerned with this. Instead of:

Meteor.publish 'logged-errors', (limit, filter, sortIndex) ->

You just do:

new PublishEndpoint 'logged-errors', (limit, filter, sortIndex) ->

Everything else is the same.

See how this is done in annotations.

Here:

https://github.com/peerlibrary/peerlibrary/blob/development/server/annotation.coffee#L251

No. There is no automatic logic here. There is some in package
"autopublish" you get when you create a new Meteor project, but we
removed that and are doing publish and subscriptions ourselves.
