I'm working on a meteor app for iOS and Android and only need the server for my mongoDB backend. Per default I also have a client website on the production server which I dont need because my clients should be mobile only (via native app )
How to remove the client on the server ?
Why don't create a simple main.js and inside place an
if(Meteor.isServer){
//server code (mongoDB)
}
and
if(Meteor.isCordova){
//Devices Code
}
or maybe i don't get you question, sorry

Trying to build an Electron app using ember-electron and am trying to use emberfire to communicate with Firebase. Everything runs fine when running as a web app with ember s but when launching as an Electron app I get nothing but errors like this:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://www.googleapis.com/identitytoolkit/v3/relyingparty/signupNewUser?key=AIzaSyBYyuJ-1E3ufujlzdKhj8gE9I6QH8TreJE. Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'serve://dist' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 404.
Is this a known problem or does anyone know a way around this? Unfortunately cannot simply add serve://dist to the list of authorized domains as Google doesn't consider it a valid domain name.
Update: I would still love to know if anyone has a possible workaround but I found a tool called Nativefier (https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier) which works for my purposes. Since I am simultaneously developing a web app and a desktop app, once the web app is being hosted, can use nativefier to build the desktop app
I didn't try with electron, but played with node-webkit. Many problems related to origin can be solved by running local web-server: in main script run a web-server using express which serves your app. This is piece of code that I use to start local server:
let express = require('express');
let http = require('http');
let app = express();
app.use('/', express.static('dist'));
let server = http.createServer(app);
let port = 9000;
let maxPort = 50000;
server.on('error', function (e) {
if (port < maxPort) {
server.listen(++port);
} else {
alert('Your system has no free ports to start a web-server, which is needed for this app to work');
window.nw.Window.get().close();
}
});
server.on('listening', function () {
location = 'http://localhost:' + port + '/index.html';
});
server.listen(port);
I think that something similar should work for electron, too
I am trying to get the current URL in an AppMaker app. However, the standard JavaScript ways do not work, ScriptApp is not available in AppMaker, and the objects that are in AppMaker do not return the correct URL (that starts with https://script.google.com).
Thanks for any suggestions.
You can run a backend/serverside script and use Apps Script
ScriptApp.getService().getUrl()
See the doc ScriptApp Documentation
To have an app URL on client side, you can load it during app startup. Firstly, let's create server script that returns app URL:
/**
* Get the URL of the published web app.
*/
function getAppUrl() {
return ScriptApp.getService().getUrl();
}
Open your Project settings and put next code to App startup script section:
loader.suspendLoad();
google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(function(url) {
appUrl = url;
loader.resumeLoad();
}).getAppUrl();
Now you are able to use appUrl everywhere in Client Scripts.
Using this approach you can create initial app config on startup that requires specific data from server.
So I've followed the guide at:
https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/backend-auth
To add backend authentication with my javascript client for my API. However, using their code, at this line of code:
idinfo = client.verify_id_token(token, CLIENT_ID)
I'm getting an error on my server, and the error is this:
Wrong recipient, <CLIENT_ID> != <SERVER_ID>
How do I specify in my Javascript client what the server id is?
I have iOS and Android login working with this same backend code.
I has this same issue in iOS and was able to solve it by adding in the below code. Can I do the same in the browser?
[GIDSignIn sharedInstance].serverClientID = #"SERVER_CLIENT_ID";
Real world problem: When meteor app lost connection with a self deployed meteor server,
it would be a nice solution to send email automatically from client side with the data,
what is not refreshing to other clients while server is offline...
Is it possible? I mean haven't seen any
if (Meteor.isClient) { MAIL_URL = 'smtp://....
sendMessage(this.userId, toId, msg);
likes... however client could use google smtp for example
A secondary server might be wiser than email. There is a package for clustering Meteor servers.
I have backend meteor server which serves and shares common collections across multiple apps (just sharing mongo db is not enough, realtime updates are needed).
BACKEND
/ \
APP1 APP2
| |
CLIENT CLIENT
I have server-to-server DDP connections running between backend server and app servers.
Atm i'm just re-publishing the collections in app server after subscribing them from backend server.
It all seems working quite well. The only problem tho is that in app server cant query any collections in server side, all the find() responses are empty, in client side (browser) it all works fine tho.
Is it just a coincidence that it works at all or what do you suggest how i should set it up.
Thanks
I realize that this is a pretty old question, but I thought I would share my solution. I had a similar problem as I have two applications (App1 and App2) that will be sharing data with a third application (App3).
I couldn't figure out why the server-side of my App1 could not see the shared collections in App3...even though the client-side of App1 was seeing them. Then it hit me that the server-side of my App1 was acting like a "client" of App3, so needed to subscribe to the publication, too.
I moved my DDP.connection.subscribe() call outside the client folder of App1, so that it would be shared between the client and server of App1. Then, I used a Meteor.setInterval() call to wait for the subscription to be ready on the server side in order to use it. That seemed to do the trick.
Here's a quick example:
in lib/common.js:
Meteor.myRemoteConnection = DDP.connect(url_to_App3);
SharedWidgets = new Meteor.Collection('widgets', Meteor.myRemoteConnection);
Meteor.sharedWidgetsSubscription = Meteor.myRemoteConnection.subscribe('allWidgets');
in server/fixtures.js:
Meteor.startup(function() {
// check once every second to see if the subscription is ready
var subIsReadyInterval = Meteor.setInterval(function () {
if ( Meteor.sharedWidgetsSubscription.ready() ) {
// SharedWidgets should be available now...
console.log('widget count:' + SharedWidgets.find().count);
// clean up the interval...
Meteor.clearInterval(subIsReadyInterval);
}
}, 1000);
});
If there is a better way to set this up, I'd love to know.
I have done this already,
check my app Tapmate or youtap.meteor.com on android and iphone,
I know it will work till 0.6.4 meteor version,
haven't checked if that works on above version,
You have to manually override the default ddp url while connecting,
i.e. go to live-data package in .meteor/packages/live-data/stream_client_socket.js
overwrite this - Meteor._DdpClientStream = function (url) {
url = "ddp+sockjs://ddp--**-youtap.meteor.com/sockjs";
now you won't see things happening locally but it will point to meteor server
also disable reload js from reloading
Thanks
