What is Meteor? Meteor is a full-stack JavaScript platform for developing modern web and mobile applications. Meteor includes a key set of technologies for building connected-client reactive applications, a build tool, and a curated set of packages from the Node.js and general JavaScript community. Meteor allows you to develop in one language, JavaScript, in all environments: application server, web browser, and mobile device. Meteor uses data on the wire, meaning the server sends data, not

After reading this article, you’ll know: What Methods are in Meteor and how they work in detail. Best practices for defining and calling Methods. How to throw and handle errors with Methods. How to call a Method from a form. What is a Method? Methods are Meteor’s remote procedure call (RPC) system, used to save user input events and data that come from the client. If you’re familiar with REST APIs or HTTP, you can think of them like POST requests to your server, but with many nice features op

Client Session.set(key, value) import { Session } from 'meteor/session' Source Set a variable in the session.

Returns true if the computation is a new dependent of dependency rather than an existing one. Arguments fromComputation Tracker.Computation An optional computation

package.js Cordova.depends(dependencies) Specify which Cordova / PhoneGap plugins your Meteor package depends on. Plugins are installed from plugins.cordova.io, so the plugins and versions specified must exist there.

Anywhere Meteor.settings import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor' Source Meteor.settings contains deployment-specific configuration options. You can initialize settings by passing the --settings option (which takes the name of a file containing JSON data) to meteor run or meteor deploy. When running your server directly (e.g. from a bundle), you instead specify settings by putting the JSON directly into the METEOR_SETTINGS environment variable. If the settings object contains a key named p
