norma-meteor

Meteor package for the Norma build tool

To use add the following to your norma.json:

"tasks": {
  "meteor": {
    "src": "out",
    "build": {
      "dest": "build",
      "server": "localhost:3000"
    }
  }
}

The src variable is where your meteor project is located. This is the directory you would run meteor run normally.

The build object lets you specify a folder and server for meteor builds to be created.

You can also add packages and platforms from Norma by adding these options to your norma.json. If you have settings to run with meteor, include the path to your settings file as the value of the settings key.

"tasks": {
  "meteor": {
    "src": "out",
    "settings": "settings.json",
    "port": 3000,
    "mongoUrl": "mongodb://example/db",
    "build": {
      "dest": "build",
      "server": "localhost:3000"
    },
    "packages": [
      "iron:router"
    ],
    "platforms": [
      "ios"
    ]
  }
}

This package also supports adding env vars to the meteor process using a map of vars to add like so:

"tasks": {
  "meteor": {
    "src": "out",
    "settings": "settings.json",
    "env": {
      "MONGO_URL": "mongodb://example/db",
      "PORT": 3000
    },
    "build": {
      "dest": "build",
      "server": "localhost:3000"
    },
    "packages": [
      "iron:router"
    ],
    "platforms": [
      "ios"
    ]
  }
}

When developing large scale applications locally, having the ability to link packages is really helpful. With this norma package you can list an array of paths that contain meteor packages in them. This will allow you to grab your packages from around your system as you would like. These paths will be made relative to the meteor application so you should list them as based on the root of your norma file.

"tasks": {
  "meteor": {
    "src": "out",
    "settings": "settings.json",
    "packageDirs": [
      "./workbench/packages/core/packages"
      "./workbench/packages/rock/packages"
    ],
    "build": {
      "dest": "build",
      "server": "localhost:3000"
    },
    "packages": [
      "iron:router"
    ],
    "platforms": [
      "ios"
    ]
  }
}
