Assets

Assets allows server code in a Meteor application to access static server assets, which are located in the private subdirectory of an application's tree. Assets are not processed as source files and are copied directly into your application's bundle.

Static server assets are included by placing them in the application's private subdirectory. For example, if an application's private subdirectory includes a directory called nested with a file called data.txt inside it, then server code can read data.txt by running:

var data = Assets.getText('nested/data.txt');
