ply's meteor starter kit

The ply meteor starter kit is my (thatgibbyguy) base boilerplate and uses the latest version of meteor.js. Included in this boilerplate is:

• plygrid
• Example code throughout
• Common packages including: spiderable aldeed:autoform fortawesome:fontawesome aldeed:collection2 kevohagan:sweetalert iron:router react-template-helper liadrian:ionicons-cdn seba:minifiers-autoprefixer fourseven:scss email matteodem:server-session reywood:iron-router-ga meteorhacks:kadira meteorhacks:kadira-profiler standard-minifiers meteor-base mobile-experience mongo blaze-html-templates session jquery tracker logging reload random ejson spacebars check

Using this boilerplate

• First install meteor from the command line. $ curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh
• Next, simply clone this directory and start your app from the command line: $ git clone https://github.com/thatgibbyguy/tgg-meteor-boilerplate.git && cd tgg-meteor-boilerplate/app && meteor
• Finally, keep the meteor docs handy.

Routing

The ply meteor starter kit utilizes iron-router for routing. I've chosen this router for IE9 support (for those of us that are still stuck with that). If you'd prefer flow-router simply run:

$ meteor remove iron-router && meteor add kadira:flow-router

After this you will need to modify /lib/router.js to match kadira:flow-router syntax.

Using React

Using React.js will work just as it does normally, but will will append it to the DOM using react-template-helper. An example of how this works:

Your template helper your-template.js

import YourReactComponent from `../path-to-your-component.jsx`;

Template.yourTemplate.helpers({
  YourReactComponentHelper: () => YourReactComponent
});

Your template your-template.html

<template name="yourTemplate">
  {{> React component=YourReactComponentHelper}}
</template>
