On Blaze, we copied functionality we had on Spark: Don't update form controls (INPUT, TEXTAREA) if they are focused and their underlying value reactively updates. This was never meant to be the eventual solution -- we'd eventually have a way to define strategies for two-way data binding. Maybe you'd be able to define a callback that notifies the app when a change happens to a field that hasn't been saved yet. Moreover, not only is the feature incomplete, but with Blaze it works much more poorly than in Spark. Due to fine-grained updates, users his this more frequently and don't seem to like the behavior (in Spark you would only hit this behavior if you set up your preserve rules exactly right, which many users did not do). So, we're just ripping out this functionality. Now if a field gets edited by some other user while you're focused it will just lose its value. Focus will remain. Fixes #1965
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. This requires git, a C and C++ compiler, autotools, and scons. If you do not run this script, Meteor will automatically download pre-compiled binaries when you first run it.
# OPTIONAL
./scripts/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
From your checkout, 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/
Note that if you run Meteor from a git checkout, you cannot pin apps to specific
Meteor releases or run using different Meteor releases using --release.
Uninstalling Meteor
Aside from a short launcher shell script, Meteor installs itself inside your home directory. To uninstall Meteor, run:
rm -rf ~/.meteor/
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/meteor
