Meteor.js doesn't load content of lib folder

Question

I'm new to meteor.js .

I started a new app using meteor create textcircle . I then added a package using meteor add edemaine:sharejs-codemirror

The problem is, in my app directory, I created a folder, lib , then a file lib/collections.js . Inside lib/collections.js I have this single line console.log('Lib folder loaded') . But I don't see the text on the console. Not in google chrome console, neither in my terminal. This shows that the file is clearly not loaded. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

meteor --version outputs Meteor 1.8

Answer 1

you need to import your files in client oder server main.js.

Lets assume you have also a folder named client.

inside that folder there is a file main.js.

import '../lib/collections.js';

Now your browsers console should show up the log.

If you have also a folder server and inside a file main.js

import '../lib/collections.js';

You will see the log also on your meteors console log.

Hope that helps Tom
