This is not yet documented or fully supported (ie, it may change before 1.0). ddp+sockjs:// URLs are translated into https:// URLs and explicitly contain the "/sockjs" endpoint. Any '*' in the hostname should be changed into a random digit before opening a SockJS connection, to help avoid browser per-hostname connection limits. ddpi+sockjs:// is identical but uses http:// instead. The DEFAULT_DDP_ENDPOINT environment variable has been renamed DDP_DEFAULT_CONNECTION_URL. (For now, 'meteor deploy' will continue to also provide non-"ddp+sockjs://" URLs in the old environment variable so that old apps continue to work).
Meteor
Meteor is an ultra-simple environment for building modern web applications.
With Meteor you write apps:
- in pure Javascript
- that send data over the wire, rather than HTML
- using your choice of popular open-source libraries
Documentation is available at http://docs.meteor.com/
Quick Start
Install Meteor:
curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh
Create a project:
meteor create try-meteor
Run it:
cd try-meteor
meteor
Deploy it to the world, for free:
meteor deploy try-meteor.meteor.com
Slow Start (for developers)
If you want to run on the bleeding edge, or help develop Meteor, you can run Meteor directly from a git checkout.
git clone git://github.com/meteor/meteor.git
cd meteor
If you're the sort of person who likes to build everything from scratch, you can build all the Meteor dependencies (node.js, npm, mongodb, etc) with the provided script. If you do not run this script, Meteor will automatically download pre-compiled binaries when you first run it.
# OPTIONAL
./admin/generate-dev-bundle.sh
Now you can run meteor directly from the checkout (if you did not build the dependency bundle above, this will take a few moments to download a pre-build version).
./meteor --help
Or install to /usr/local like the normal install process. This
will cause meteor to be in your PATH.
./install.sh
meteor --help
After installing, you can read the docs locally. The /docs directory is a meteor application, so simply change into the /docs directory and launch the app:
cd docs/
meteor
You'll then be able to read the docs locally in your browser at http://localhost:3000/
