Here is a short tutorial on Meteor.js:
- Install Meteor by following the instructions on the Meteor website (https://www.meteor.com/).
- Create a new Meteor project by running the following command in your terminal:
luaCopy codemeteor create my-app
- Change into the directory for your new Meteor project:
bashCopy codecd my-app
- Start the Meteor development server by running the following command:
Copy codemeteor
- Open your web browser and visit http://localhost:3000 to view your new Meteor application.
- Edit the code in the
my-app
directory to build your application. For example, you can modify the contents of themy-app.html
file to change the layout of the application. - Use Meteor’s reactive data model to bind data to the user interface and make the application respond to changes in real-time. For example, you can add the following code to the
my-app.js
file to make the application display the current date and time:
javascriptCopy codeif (Meteor.isClient) {
Template.body.helpers({
currentTime: function () {
return new Date();
}
});
}
- Use Meteor’s package system to add additional functionality to your application. For example, you can add the
meteor add accounts-ui
command to your terminal to add user authentication to your application.
This tutorial provides a basic introduction to building applications with Meteor.js. With its fast and flexible architecture, Meteor is a great choice for building real-time web applications that can be run on both the client and the server.
