METEOR.JS 8th August 2012 - Codeaholics.hk @MatthewRudy
SOLR TAKEDA HOLMES
METEOR a javascript full stack framework compiles, combines, and distributes
your JS, CSS, and HTML deploys on the fly to users without interrupting their session
LEARN ABOUT IT http://docs.meteor.com https://github.com/siuying/todomvc-meteor `meteor create --example leaderboard`
7 PRINCIPLES marketing-style
#1 DATA ON THE WIRE no HTML rendered on the
server JSON sent to the browser the browser renders templates
#2 ONE LANGUAGE All code is Javascript (or maybe coffeescript)
#3 DATABASE EVERYWHERE Client Data API mirrors the Server Database
API the local data API looks just like Mongo
#4 LATENCY COMPENSATION All data operations take place in memory
first The callback to the server is asynchronous What happens if it fails?
#5 FULL STACK REACTIVITY Every thing has a callback Templates
re-render themselves automatically
#6 EMBRACE THE ECOSYSTEM Plug and Play Use Backbone or
whatever
#7 SIMPLICITY = PRODUCTIVITY Clean and Simple APIs
WHAT’S THE REAL DEAL?
COLLECTIONS # define Items = new Meteor.Collection “items” # insert
Items.insert {name: “giraffe”} # find Items.find {}, {sort: {name: 1}}
SESSIONS # get Session.get(“selected”) #set Session.set(“selected”, item._id) # check Session.equals(“selected”,
this._id)
HANDLEBARS <template name=”list”> <h1>Items</h1> <ul> {{#each items}} <li>{{> item }}</li>
{{/each}} </ul> </template>
TEMPLATES They automatically re-render when data changes!
TEMPLATES # {{> item }} <template name=”item”> <article class=”item”> {{name}}
</article> </template>
HELPERS {{#if selected}}selected{{/if}} Template.item.selected = -> Session.equals(“selected”, this._id)
{{pluralize itemCount “item” “items”}} Template.list.itemCount = -> Items.find({}).count() Template.list.pluralize =
(n, s, p) -> “#{n} #{if n == 1 then s else p}” HELPERS WITH ARGUMENTS
EVENTS Template.item.events = “click article”: -> Session.set(“selected”, this._id)
Item = new Meteor.collection “items” if Meteor.is_client Session.set(“selected”, null) if
Meteor.is_server Secret = 123 CLIENT + SERVER IN THE SAME FILE
CLIENT + SERVER IN FOLDERS client/some.js server/some.js shared.js
PACKAGES Backbone - Backbone on Client + Server Bootstrap -
Adds the Bootstrap CSS Coffeescript - Compiles .coffee files Handlebars - the default templating system
PACKAGES (AUTH) accounts - central API for accounts accounts-ui -
log in and sign up accounts-facebook - plug into facebook accounts-weibo - plug into weibo insecure - remove!
HTML CONCATENATION <body> <h1>The header</h1> </body> <body> <nav class=”navbar navbar-fixed-top”
/> </body>
TIME FOR A PLAY Live demo!
meteor create --example leaderboard
PROBLEMS there are quite a few
COMPLEXITY going beyond the basics things quickly get complex
NO NAMESPACE FOR TEMPLATES item_form item_list item_show content sidebar nav
AUTHENTICATION there is an “auth” branch but its hard to
use
BETTER TOOLS MRT is a good idea but frequently breaks
for me
BETTER DEBUG Coffee -> JS many JS files -> one
JS file => Big confusion
ROUTING Just use Backbone.Router?
TESTING? An afterthought
BUT...
ITS COOL Stuff magically works
THE FUTURE It’s awesome as a deployment tool Better integration
with Backbone and Angular
THANKS Any Questions?
