如何在Meteor中使用本机客户端库？

Question

Current Meteor version:
Preview 0.6.6.3

I am tying to add client libraries in my Meteor project (on Ubuntu and also on Windows) with Meteor or meteorite, such as Taggle.js .
Those libraries are not available as packages on Atmosphere.

I tried to copy and paste my *.js in the .meteor/local/build/programs/client or .meteor/local/build/programs/client/app but it didn't work.

How can I put client-side native libraries in my Meteor project?

My current application structure:

my_app/

• css/
• pages/
• js/
• .meteor/

Answer 1

You shouldn't manually mess with files in .meteor directory (except for packages and release files), that's where Meteor puts its compiled files. All libraries should go to source folder - so basically anywhere else.

I assume those are client-side libraries.

In that case, put them:

• in /client if it doesn't matter when they are loaded and they happen to work there;
• in /client/lib if you need to load them before the rest of the code;
• in /client/compatibility if the code is not prepared to work with Meteor and you don't want to / don't know how to fix it;
• in /client/lib/compatibility if both of the above conditions occur. I'd recommend to put them here on the beginning just to be safe.

If you want to load HTML/CSS/JS files dynamically to your meteor application then you can use: Meteor-external-file-loader

Add Meteor-external-file-loader to your meteor app by typing in console:

meteor add mrt:external-file-loader
