How to use this

• See our example webapp

Dependency injection

See our DI package.

This package also makes Meteor core services available in the appContext:

• Meteor
• Mongo: Meteor's Mongo, or in testing it is our own TestMongo (see below)
• Accounts: with appropriate internal data reset each test
• Random
• EJSON
• Users: Meteor's 'users' Mongo collection (TestMongo in testing)
• apiRegistry: see below

...and only on the client:

• Tracker: like Meteor's Tracker but will react to both Meteor and Mobx reactive changes
• api: how to call methods on the server
• storage: HTML5 localStorage
• mongoMirror: high level mirroring of publications to Mobx domains and offline

ApiRegistry

Rather than calling Meteor.methods and Meteor.publish to create methods and publications inject apiRegistry. This has a cleaner callback (no use of this), calls unblock, and facilitates domain testing (see below).

TestMongo

Uses in memory MiniMongo instead of real Mongo collections to increase test speed. But this can be override with withRealMongoCollection for cases where you need to use functions not available in MiniMongo.

Domain tests

An example domain test.

• Use mockServerContext of @mindhvie/meteor/test to initialise modules in test
  • Most likely you'll want to import and pass @mindhvie/meteor/test/mockMeteorCoreModuleFactory as the first module into mockServerContext
  • This also sets up a fiber so Meteor code can be run in your tests
• From the returned context get the mock apiRegistry which can call and subscribe to methods and publications in the modules being tested
