Example:
"meteor": {
"mainModule": ...,
"testModule": ...,
"nodeModules": {
"recompile": {
"very-modern-package": ["client", "server"],
"alternate-notation-for-client-and-server": true,
"somewhat-modern-package": "legacy",
"another-package": ["legacy", "server"]
}
}
}
The keys of the meteor.nodeModules.recompile configuration object are npm
package names, and the values specify for which bundles those packages
should be recompiled using the Meteor compiler plugins system, as if the
packages were part of the Meteor application.
For example, if an npm package uses const/let syntax or arrow functions,
that's fine for modern and server code, but you would probably want to
recompile the package when building the legacy bundle. To accomplish this,
specify "legacy" or ["legacy"] as the value of the package's property,
similar to somewhat-modern-package above. These strings and arrays of
strings have the same meaning as the second argument to
api.addFiles(files, where) in a package.js file.
This configuration serves pretty much the same purpose as symlinking an
application directory into node_modules, but without any symlinking:
https://forums.meteor.com/t/litelement-import-litelement-html/45042/8?u=benjamn
The meteor.nodeModules.recompile configuration currently applies to the
application node_modules directory only (not to Npm.depends dependencies
in Meteor packages). Recompiled packages must be direct dependencies of
the application.
With this commit, if a top-level package version constraint in
.meteor/packages ends with a '!' character, any other (non-!) constraints
on that package elsewhere in the application will be weakened to accept
any version of the package that is not less than the constraint,
regardless of whether the major/minor versions actually match.
This functionality is extremely useful in cases where an unmaintained
package was last published with api.versionsFrom(<some ancient version>),
thus constraining the major version of any Meteor core package it depended
on, but you really want to upgrade that core package anyway. Just put a
'!' after the core package's version constraint in your .meteor/packages
file, and you will almost certainly get your way. The fact that minimum
versions are still enforced is good/fine because the constraints you want
to override are typically ancient, so they easily match any recent version
of the package.
Your only recourse before this @x.y.z! syntax was to find a replacement
for the unmaintained package, or fork and modify it locally, or somehow
persuade the package author to publish a new version with a more
reasonable api.versionsFrom. None of these options were easy.
Many thanks to @GeoffreyBooth, long-time maintainer of the `coffeescript`
package, for originally suggesting a ! syntax similar to this one:
https://github.com/meteor/meteor-feature-requests/issues/208#issuecomment-400154209
The limitation of this syntax to .meteor/packages is deliberate, since
overriding package version constraints is a power-tool that should be used
sparingly by application developers, and never abused by package authors.
Also, limiting the scope of this syntax reduces the risk of an arms race
between overrides, a la the infamous CSS !important modifier.
Setting meteor.testModule is a great way to specify test entry points
explicitly, rather than relying on Meteor's isTestFilePath heuristics:
https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/devel/tools/isobuild/test-files.js
The syntax is identical to meteor.mainModule, so you can set an explicit
meteor.testModule.{client,server,...} for each platform. If a testModule
is not specified for a platform, then Meteor's existing rules about test
file paths apply for that platform, as before.
If a testModule is specified, that module will always be loaded eagerly
when running `meteor test`, in addition to any other modules that load
eagerly because of meteor.mainModule or other rules regarding module
loading. If you run `meteor test` without the `--full-app` option, then no
application JS modules other than the testModule (and any modules imported
by it) will be loaded eagerly.
If meteor.mainModule.{client,server,...} === false, no modules will be
loaded eagerly for that architecture. This is useful if you have an app
with no special app/{client,server} directory structure and you want to
specify an entry point for just the client (or just the server), without
accidentally loading everything on the other architecture.
https://github.com/meteor/meteor-feature-requests/issues/135
This change allows applications to specify specific entry points for each
architecture, without relying on `imports` directories to determine the
eagerness/laziness of modules. In other words, it will finally be possible
to build a Meteor app without a special `imports` directory.
Specifically, if `packageJson.meteor.mainModule[architecture]` is defined,
all modules for that architecture will be lazy except for the specified
module, which will be loaded eagerly.
Possible values for `architecture` include "client", "server", "web",
"web.browser", "web.cordova", "os", and so on, just like the second
argument to `api.mainModule(file, where)` in Meteor packages.
In order to match existing behavior, a Meteor application might include
the following in its `package.json` file:
"meteor": {
"mainModule": {
"client": "client/main.js",
"server": "server/main.js"
}
}
These architectures are handled independently, so omitting the "client" or
"server" property would cause that architecture to revert to standard
Meteor loading semantics. In other words, Meteor developers must opt into
this functionality, which is crucial for backwards compatibility.
Note that this functionality applies only to application modules, since
modules in Meteor packages are already lazy by default, and Meteor
packages can already specify entry points by calling `api.mainModule` in
their `package.js` files.
Also note that the loading behavior of non-JavaScript resources is *not*
affected by `packageJson.meteor.mainModule`. Only resources added by
compiler plugins via `addJavaScript` are subject to the new configuration
option. If a compiler plugin calls `addStylesheet` or `addHtml`, those
resources will still be included unconditionally in the HTML document
rendered by the web server. While you could try to import these resources
from JavaScript, you would only be importing any JavaScript resources the
compiler plugin registered using `addJavaScript`, and not the actual HTML
or CSS resources. I welcome feedback on this decision, but if there's no
meaningful way to import a resource, making it lazy just means it won't be
loaded at all.
An ulterior motive for this feature is to enable Meteor apps to have
directory layouts that developers who are not familiar with Meteor can
immediately understand. The special meaning of the `imports` directory and
the surprising eagerness of modules outside of `imports` have always
required some explanation, so this change should reduce that surprise.
Because Meteor strives to be a zero-configuration tool, this is currently
the only supported option in the "meteor" section of `package.json`,
though the available options may be expanded in the future if that's the
best/only way to solve important problems. This would involve adding
additional methods to the `MeteorConfig` class in `project-context.js`,
and then using those methods elsewhere in the `meteor/tools` codebase.
Fixes an issue preventing the installation of scoped Cordova
packages. For example,
`meteor add cordova:@somescope/some-cordova-plugin@1.0.0`
will now work properly.
Fixes https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/7336.
By my calculations, the sum of the sizes of the individual isopackets was
152MB, and the size of the combined isopacket is now just 36MB. That
remarkable difference goes to show how much duplication of transitive
dependencies was happening before this change.
That's a savings of 116MB for the (uncompressed) size of the meteor-tool
package. In Meteor 1.5.x, the meteor-tool package is about 544MB, but in
Meteor 1.6 it's considerably smaller: 373MB. In other words, this change
should reduce those sizes to 428MB (-21%) and 257MB (-31%), respectively.
This fixes intermittent failures of the cordova-platforms tests, which
would sometimes fail when one of the app identifier components happened to
start with a number instead of a letter.
The text of the exception was:
Error validating package name. Package name must look like: com.company.Name
For example:

Package version unpinning (#7084) removed all exact package@=version
constraints derived from the current release.
As we discovered with Meteor 1.4.2.4 (#8306), this meant releases no
longer had any power to enforce package upgrades, which is why the
follow-up Meteor 1.4.2.5 release (#8311) was necessary.
This commit has the same effect as putting package@version in your
.meteor/packages file for every local/core package that your app uses.
This is a refactor/finishing-move of @c9s's original PR meteor/meteor#7586.
This maintains backward compatibility with PACKAGE_DIRS using the original separator that it expected (':'). Users of the new METEOR_PACKAGE_DIRS variable should use the correct path separator for their platform (`:` on BSD/Linux and `;` on Windows).

This reverts commit 9e6ebde836.
Now that the `dev_bundle` link is called `.meteor/local/dev_bundle`, and
`.meteor/local` is already ignored, we don't need to ignore
`.meteor/dev_bundle` anymore.
If a developer tried to `meteor update` a project whose `.meteor/release`
file corresponded to a version of `meteor-tool` that no longer exists in
`~/.meteor/packages/meteor-tool`, this code would throw an ENOENT error.
This could be fixed by running `meteor update --release <old release>`
first, but that kind of workaround shouldn't be necessary when updating
Meteor to the latest version.
I'm deliberately leaving in the code to ensure .meteor/.gitignore contains
dev_bundle for now, so that the old file won't get accidentally checked
into anyone's app repository.
