Thanks for prompting me to write a clearer explanation. Here’s a fuller example with my comments. There were a few bugs and inconsistencies that I’ve cleaned up. Next docs release will use this. Meteor.publish is quite flexible. It’s not limited to publishing existing MongoDB collections to the client: we can publish anything we want. Specifically, … Read more
This question has since been answered in http://docs.meteor.com/ The JavaScript and CSS files in an application are loaded according to these rules: Files in the lib directory at the root of your application are loaded first. Files that match main.* are loaded after everything else. Files in subdirectories are loaded before files in parent directories, … Read more
Pretty much anywhere in your client-side JavaScript code: document.title = “My new title”;
This video explains the concepts: http://www.eventedmind.com/posts/meteor-spark-data-annotation-and-data-contexts. The direct answer to your question: The thisArg inside an event handler should point to a data context. But sometimes the data context is undefined. When you use the Function.prototype.call(thisArg, …) in JavaScript, if the thisArg is undefined (e.g. a dataContext is undefined) the browser will set this equal … Read more
Meteor now supports a create –package command. See the meteor docs. Example (substitute your own meteor developer account for “cunneen”): meteor create –package cunneen:foo Output: cunneen:foo: created in your app Results: packages/cunneen:foo/package.js Package.describe({ name: ‘cunneen:foo’, version: ‘0.0.1’, // Brief, one-line summary of the package. summary: ”, // URL to the Git repository containing the source … Read more
From the Meteor.call documentation: On the client, if you do not pass a callback and you are not inside a stub, call will return undefined, and you will have no way to get the return value of the method. That is because the client doesn’t have fibers, so there is not actually any way it … Read more
This is not a real issue. Just a warning. When babel compiles some code, it try to offer a readable output, but when files become big (>100KB), babel considers (by default) that it’s not useful to keep this option enabled (because yes it’s an option, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/30879872/988941 for more information). It’s not a problem to … Read more
[note: this answer is for Meteor 0.6.6.2 through at least 1.1.0.2] [edit: updated to also explain how to do this while not breaking reactivity. Thanks to @DeanRadcliffe, @AdnanY, @TomWijsman, and @MikeGraf !] The data is stored inside Session.keys, which is simply an object, so you can manually delete keys: Session.set(‘foo’, ‘bar’) delete Session.keys[‘foo’] console.log(Session.get(‘foo’)) // … Read more
Another way to find your project’s root directory now is this: var base = process.env.PWD Note that this is not the same as process.cwd(). Instead it is the directory where you ran the meteor command, which is typically what you are looking for. Note also that this probably won’t be very helpful when running your … Read more
You should use meteor mongo http://blah.meteor.com; or even shorter meteor mongo blah.meteor.com. For documentation you can run meteor help mongo. Extract from running the help command above: Instead of opening a shell, specifying –url (-U) will return a URL suitable for an external program to connect to the database. For remote databases on deployed applications, … Read more
