Meteor在哪里存储它的数据？

Question

I have just started playing around with Meteor and MongoDB for the first time. I come from a .net developer background and MSSQL. I have created a simple web following this tutorial . Also, I have added the accounts-password package to my app as well. Everything works like a charm, I can add data to my application in real time and I can create users and login, etc, etc. However, when I open up Robomongo and look for the stored data, I do not find any information inside my 'carbrands' collection declared in carbrands.js as

CarBrands= new Meteor.Collection("carbrands");

Also, no users collection is created. My Robomongo profile is connected to localhost. If I try to access CarBrands from Chrome console i get the following output:

> CarBrands.find();
> LocalCollection.Cursor {collection: LocalCollection, selector_id: undefined, selector_f: function, sort_f: null, skip: undefined…}

Where is the meteor data being saved to and how can i view it ?

UPDATE* * : I have run mongo command in linux terminal and the result returned are local and test. test is empty. Accessing local returns the same collections as viewed in Robomongo

Answer 1

You need to run:

meteor mongo

from your project, not your usual mongoDB install:

Answer 2

Meteor stores local mongo datasets in APPDIR/ .meteor/local/db . A ps will verify DB location.

ps -ax | grep mongo 1482 ? Sl 170:02 /usr/bin/mongod --config /etc/mongodb.conf 2176 ? Sl 174:46 /home/ell/.meteor/packages/meteor-tool/.1.4.2_3.qrhx4m++os.linux.x86_64+web.browser+web.cordova/mt-os.linux.x86_64/dev_bundle/mongodb/bin/mongod --bind_ip 127.0.0.1 --port 3001 --dbpath /apps/assessment/current/.meteor/local/db --oplogSize 8 --replSet meteor --nojournal
