MeteorJS form submission is refreshing the page with event.preventDefault() enabled – Twitter API

The dating application is built with MeteorJS and the page refreshes whenever I attempt to submit this form to register a user. Also, Meteor.user().services.twitter.profile_image_url doesn’t seem to get Twitter image. Please help

imports/ui/components/partials/register-user.html

<template name="registerUser">
    <div class="user-card">
    <form id="user-form">
        <div class="row">

    Your example show an error on event mapping:

    'submit .register-user' (event) {

    You used a class mapping of the button, but the submit event is from the form. Then change it to:

    'submit #user-form' (event) {

    I think that the issue is because you are mapping the submit event to the button which has the class register-user. Try changing your code to refer to the form from which the submit event comes. You can use its id (user-form) for doing that.

    It’d be something like this:

    'submit #user-form'(event) {
   event.preventDefault();
   ...
}
