Meteor JS is a comprehensive development platform for building JavaScript applications, offering both client-side and server-side capabilities, and is built on Node and MongoDB. It features a powerful package system, real-time data updates, and a streamlined development process that allows developers to manage front-end, back-end, and database interactions using JavaScript alone. Its user-friendly nature and supportive community make it an appealing choice for both novice and experienced developers in creating web applications.

Fastest way to
build Your
JavaScript Apps

3. What is Meteor JS
Meteor JS is a tenacious development platform with a vast collection of libraries and packages
neatly arranged in a systematic way to make the development easier.
It is developed from Node and MongoDB. It’s one step ahead while comparing to a framework.
While comparing Meteor JS with Angular JS, Meteor has both client side and server side codes
which handles a lot of parts in application than written manually in Angular JS.
It has abstracted the best part in all frameworks to start an easy prototype app. It gives you
the complete flexibility to develop a production app.
Meteor uses an effective library system which includes Tracker, blaze, etc. which creates a
reactive front-end experience.

4. Glue that Connects
Command line tool is the glue that connects all these modules.
This tool has everything to build your application, including Coffee Script or Less compiler
support.
Command line tool has a built-in package system to optimize your applications.
Isobuild is the isomorphic package system which helps you to install other packages like
Atmosphere, Cordova plugins and NPM.
Some of the commonly used command line tools include meteor run, meteor help, meteor
debug, meteor remove, meteor search, meteor build, and meteor add, etc.

5. Server Features
In Meteor, Server is a Node JS app which is built with certain libraries to enable
communication between DDP and ESJON.
Node Js is the JavaScript server
Connect is a library to output HTTP resources from the app
Database driver is a drive to create an interface with MongoDB.
Livequery is a library which is built to query and stream out Mongo data in a reactive
way.

6. Binding Element
The communication layer is a binding element which binds the client and server.
ESJON is an extension of JSON, which supports serializing more data types like data
and binary.
ESJON is used in serializing and deserializing the data moving across the wire DDP.
DDP is a protocol which is used to send data across the web sockets.

7. Browser Setup
The browser part is setup with minimum HTML codes and few JavaScript codes. While the
server is synchronous, naturally JavaScript is asynchronous. Certain libraries form the
reactive nature of the client.
Tracker is the significant part in the reactive front-end, which is a glue that builds your
libraries.
Spacebar is a derivation of handlebars which is built to be reactive.
Minimongo is a client side library that synchronizes data over DDP and allows the clients to
consume mongo data.
Session is a library to handle UI state variables.

8. Template Designs
A Template is a pre-formatted form of your application. Meteor helps to create your own
template with simple coding.
When you create a template in your app like <template name = “api”>, it creates a
template object with the name template.api. This template may occur many times, these
occurrences are called as Template instances. Template instances have a life cycle in which
the template is created, put into the document and destroyed.
Spacebar is a template language which is powered by Handlebars. Handlebar helps you to
build effective semantic templates effortlessly.

9. Package System
Package system in meteor has some core package which can be added to the
accounts-ui or accounts-google.
These packages are little libraries which handle functions like login,
authentication, etc.
User can also create their own packages. User created a package on Atmosphere
“iron:router” has become the default router for 99% of meteor.js apps.

10. Reasons to choose Meteor JS
Meteor is an effective platform to build real-time web applications. When the database
is updated, the data in template is updated.
Meteor gives you a complete web application, reducing stress in developing various
languages.
Meteor streamlines your process, allowing you to develop front-end, back-end and
database with JavaScript alone.
Meteor has a collection of smart packages which reduces your development time.
It has an active community which guides you at every step of your development
process. Web development companies find it easy to communicate with Meteor team.

11. Meteor JS Conclusion
Meteor is a great choice by developers and web development companies. Meteor is
optimized to provide better working experience to its developers.
It is an easy to learn framework for beginners and customized to build a complete web
application.
“All in one Approach” of Meteor framework attracts a diverse range of developers to
create more exciting and unique web apps or services.
Meteor is still younger version but its releases have made a great promise in developing
amazing apps.
