Project Structure and Module Development in Meteor.js

on YouTube ↗21m

" summary

The talk examines structuring Meteor.js projects and building modules to avoid fragile file-load behavior (filesystem order and alphabet-dependent loading). It compares three module strategies—splitting by execution context (server/client/public), a modules/ folder convention, and full Meteor packages—showing that packages provide explicit load order and exported APIs via package.js (api.use/api.export, api.addFiles). Examples include wrapping Mongo collections with transform into classes and notes on scaling, using React/Angular, and deploying with Galaxy/hibernate.
