What's in this boilerplate

The "insecure" and "autopublish" packages are removed by default. Several other packages are added, which are listed on the bottom. There's already a lot of predefined code in this boilerplate, to show you the possible functionality.

Features

• Comprehensive folder structure
• TDD / BDD with laika
• Multi page apps with iron-router
• A way to load fixtures (as of now no external packages used for that)
• meteor-boilerplate console tool, which helps on creating views, routes and so on (meteor-boilerplate.bat for windows users)
