`__meteor_bootstrap__.bundler` => `__meteor_bootstrap__.bundle` `bundle.bundle_dir` => `bundle.root` Rather than placing app_info/appInfo containing the manifest in the bundle object, instead I'm now placing the manifest directly in the bundle object. A) no code currently uses bundle.appInfo.load; B) if someday we expand the manifest to also include server side resources than we'd be getting rid of `load` anyway; C) I think it reads better: `bundle.appInfo.manifest` => `bundle.manifest` cp_r now returns a list of os-specific relative file system paths as strings, instead of paths as arrays. I changed the normalized "path" field in the manifest to be a relative path instead of an absolute path (`"/static/cat.jpg"` => `"static/cat.jpg"`). This felt better when looking at the manifest; I think because the path is relative to the bundle root.
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/
