Tutorial: Writing your first Meteor application

Jul 17th, 2013 | Comments

Description
We will build a small chat application based on Meteor. It will support anonymous users and users signed in using their GitHub account. The full example code can be found at https://github.com/sebdah/meteor-chat-tutorial. The tutorial will cover the basics of: Meteor Meteorite (package system) Meteor Accounts (user management system) Handebars usage, as that is the default templating system Before we begin, please open a tab with the Metor Docs. Its a fairly good companion throughout the tutorial.

Install basic requirements

Install Meteor
First off, install Meteor itself by entering the following in your terminal.
1c u r lh t t p s : / / i n s t a l l . m e t e o r . c o m|/ b i n / s h

It will download and install Meteor for you.

Install Meteorite
Meteorite is a packagemanager for Meteor. You can use n p mto handle some packages, but Meteorite is a good choice because it supports the user submitted packages in the Atmosphere repo.
1s u d on p mi n s t a l lgm e t e o r i t e

Hint: If `npm` is not available, please install Node.JS from http://nodejs.org/ first.

Building the application

Alright, now that you have the basic components installed, lets get started with the actual development.

Project structure

Tutorial: Writing your first Meteor application - Sebastian Dahlgren

Lets create the project

1m r tc r e a t ec h a t a p p

This command will create a basic Meteor project structure that may suit less complex web apps, but it tend get messy as the projects are growing. The default structure (which you have in your c h a t a p pfolder) looks like this:
1c h a t a p p . c s s 2c h a t a p p . h t m l 3c h a t a p p . j s 4s m a r t . j s o n

The problem is that code for both the client and server lives is within one . j sfile with an i fclause to separate code from the client and server:
1/ /S h a r e dc o d eg o e sh e r e 2 3i f( M e t e o r . i s C l i e n t ){ 4 / /C l i e n tc o d e 5} 6 7i f( M e t e o r . i s S e r v e r ){ 8 / /S e r v e rc o d e 9}

But Meteor offers an alternative project structure that we will use in this example. So, before we begin lets remove some of the example code generated by the c r e a t ecommand.
1c dc h a t a p p 2r mc h a t a p p . *

Now create two folders instead:

1m k d i rc l i e n ts e r v e r

Your c h a t a p pfolder should now have the following folders and files:
1c l i e n t / 2s e r v e r / 3s m a r t . j s o n

As you might have guessed, all code that lives within the c l i e n tdirectory will be available for the client (i.e. the browser), while all code under s e r v e r will remain on the server side. It is easier (in my opinion) to structure the code like this when the code base grows.

Writing the HTML template

Heres the basic HTML template that we will be building on top of. There are a few things to note here. First of all, theres no d o c t y p eor h t m ltags because Meteor will add that for us. Secondly there are some wierd tags like { { >w e l c o m e} } . This is all part of the Handlebars templating system. What is says is that The template with name=welcome should be inserted at {{>welcome}} Store the HTML template in a file called c l i e n t . h t m lin your c l i e n tfolder. client.html
1 < h e a d > 2 < t i t l e > C h a ta p p < / t i t l e > 3 < / h e a d > 4 5 < b o d y > 6 < h 1 > C h a t a p p < / h 1 > 7 { { >w e l c o m e} } 8 < / b o d y > 9 1 0< t e m p l a t en a m e = " w e l c o m e " > 1 1 < p > 1 2 W e l c o m et ot h ee x a m p l ec h a ta p p !P l e a s el o gi nt os h o wy o u ru s e r n a m e . 1 3 < / p >

Tutorial: Writing your first Meteor application - Sebastian Dahlgren

You can now launch your Meteor app with

1c dc h a t a p p 2m r t

The point your browser at http://localhost:3000. You should see something like this:

You can leave Meteor running, it will automatically update whenever you change a file in the application.

Implementing simple chat functions

Well start writing the actual code for sending messages and we will use the built-in MongoDB database to store all messages. Create a file called m o d e l s . j sin the c h a t a p p . models.js
1/ * * 2* M o d e l s 3* / 4M e s s a g e s=n e wM e t e o r . C o l l e c t i o n ( ' m e s s a g e s ' ) ;

This will define a new MongoDB collection called m e s s a g e s . Now lets extend our c l i e n t . h t m lto support messages. Add a new { { >m e s s a g e s } } tag right under { { >w e l c o m e } }and add the following < t e m p l a t e >snipped at the end of your HTML code. client.html
1< t e m p l a t en a m e = " m e s s a g e s " > 2 { { # e a c hm e s s a g e s } } 3 < s t r o n g > { { n a m e } } : < / s t r o n g >{ { m e s s a g e } } < b r > 4 { { / e a c h } } 5< / t e m p l a t e >

Heres some more Handlebars tags that will loop over each message object in a list of messages and print the n a m eand m e s s a g eattributes. Finally we need to expose the m e s s a g e slist to the m e s s a g e stemplate. To do that we need to create a new file under c l i e n tcalled c l i e n t . j s client.js
1/ * * 2* T e m p l a t e s 3* / 4T e m p l a t e . m e s s a g e s . m e s s a g e s=f u n c t i o n( ){ 5 r e t u r nM e s s a g e s . f i n d ( { } ,{s o r t :{t i m e :1} } ) ; 6}

Lets break down this abit. T e m p l a t e . m e s s a g e s . m e s s a g e srefers to T e m p l a t e . < t e m p l a t e n a m e > . < t e m p l a t e v a r i a b l e > . In our case we will return all documents from MongoDB and sort them on the t i m eattribute.

Sending messages (manually)

Its time to introduce the concept of databases everywhere . In Meteor, the database API is not soley for the backend (server) to use. Its also exposed to the client using an JavaScript API that simulates MongoDB. Lets see what it looks like. Run the following in your browsers JavaScript console:
sebastiandahlgren.se/2013/07/17/tutorial-writing-your-first-metor-application/ 3/12

04/04/14

Tutorial: Writing your first Meteor application - Sebastian Dahlgren

1M e s s a g e s . i n s e r t ( { n a m e :" S e b a s t i a n " ,m e s s a g e :" M yf i r s tm e s s a g e " ,t i m e :D a t e . n o w ( ) } ) ; 2M e s s a g e s . i n s e r t ( { n a m e :" A n d r e w " ,m e s s a g e :" H i ! " ,t i m e :D a t e . n o w ( ) } ) ; 3M e s s a g e s . i n s e r t ( { n a m e :" S e b a s t i a n " ,m e s s a g e :" Y o ! " ,t i m e :D a t e . n o w ( ) } ) ;

You will now see the messages in your chat app.

This works because we exposed the M e s s a g e svariable in the m o d e l s . j sto both the client and the server. Therefore we have access to the M e s s a g e s variable in the JavaScript console in the browser. Security warning: This exposes a security hole as any client will be able to modify the database (and delete messages for example). Its of course possible to fix. Read more at http://docs.meteor.com/#dataandsecurity.

Sending messages
Now well write a function so that anyone can post messages (without using the JavaScript console :)). Extend your HTML template with a new { { > i n p u t } }tag that you place between { { >w e l c o m e } }and { { >m e s s a g e s } } . The new < t e m p l a t e >looks like this: client.html
1< t e m p l a t en a m e = " i n p u t " > 2 < p > M e s s a g e :< i n p u tt y p e = " t e x t "i d = " m e s s a g e " > < / p > 3< / t e m p l a t e >

We will now need to catch the event and send the message when the user is pressing enter. Thats all done in the c l i e n t . j s . Add the following just undet the T e m p l a t e . m e s s a g e s . m e s s a g e scode: client.js
1 T e m p l a t e . i n p u t . e v e n t s={ 2 ' k e y d o w ni n p u t # m e s s a g e ':f u n c t i o n( e v e n t ){ 3 i f( e v e n t . w h i c h= =1 3 ){/ /1 3i st h ee n t e rk e ye v e n t 4 v a rn a m e=' A n o n y m o u s ' ; 5 v a rm e s s a g e=d o c u m e n t . g e t E l e m e n t B y I d ( ' m e s s a g e ' ) ; 6 7 i f( m e s s a g e . v a l u e! =' ' ){ 8 M e s s a g e s . i n s e r t ( { 9 n a m e :n a m e , 1 0 m e s s a g e :m e s s a g e . v a l u e , 1 1 t i m e :D a t e . n o w ( ) , 1 2 } ) ; 1 3 1 4 d o c u m e n t . g e t E l e m e n t B y I d ( ' m e s s a g e ' ) . v a l u e=' ' ; 1 5 m e s s a g e . v a l u e=' ' ; 1 6 } 1 7 } 1 8 } 1 9}

T e m p l a t e . i n p u t . e v e n t sis the callback

for all events triggered withing the i n p u ttemplate. In this case were listening to k e y d o w ni n p u t # m e s s a g e which means any time a key is pressed with in the i n p u t # m e s s a g eselector. The syntax for the events are e v e n ts e l e c t o r . You can now write messages directly in your app!

Add user authentication

Before we start writing the actual code for user authentication we need to install a c c o u n t s u iand a c c o u n t s g i t h u bto support the user management and OAuth signing with GitHub. Run the following in your c h a t a p pfolder.
1m r ta d da c c o u n t s u i 2m r ta d da c c o u n t s g i t h u b

The a c c o u n t s u ipackage is bundled with a UI for us to use right out of the box. Just add { { l o g i n B u t t o n sa l i g n = " r i g h t " } } < b r >just above < h 1 > C h a t a p p < / h 1 >in your c l i e n t . h t m lfile. Your HTML should now look like this: client.html
1 < h e a d > 2 < t i t l e > C h a ta p p < / t i t l e > 3 < / h e a d > 4 5 < b o d y > 6 { { l o g i n B u t t o n sa l i g n = " r i g h t " } } < b r > 7 < h 1 > C h a t a p p < / h 1 > 8 { { >w e l c o m e} } 9 { { >i n p u t} } 1 0 { { >m e s s a g e s} } 1 1< / b o d y > 1 2 1 3< t e m p l a t en a m e = " w e l c o m e " > 1 4 < p > 1 5 W e l c o m et ot h ee x a m p l ec h a ta p p ! 1 6 < / p > 1 7< / t e m p l a t e > 1 8 1 9< t e m p l a t en a m e = " m e s s a g e s " > 2 0 { { # e a c hm e s s a g e s } } 2 1 < s t r o n g > { { n a m e } } : < / s t r o n g >{ { m e s s a g e } } < b r > 2 2 { { / e a c h } } 2 3< / t e m p l a t e > 2 4 2 5< t e m p l a t en a m e = " i n p u t " > 2 6 < p > M e s s a g e :< i n p u tt y p e = " t e x t "i d = " m e s s a g e " > < / p > 2 7< / t e m p l a t e >

Lets throw some CSS on this app. Create a c l i e n t . c s sfile under c l i e n twith the following code: client.css
1h t m l{ 2 p a d d i n g :1 0 p x ; 3 f o n t f a m i l y :V e r d a n a ,s a n s s e r i f ; 4} 5 6. l o g i n b u t t o n s d r o p d o w n a l i g n r i g h t{ 7 f l o a t :r i g h t ; 8}

We should also make sure to store the name of the user is the m e s s a g e sdatabase, currently we have hard coded A n o n y m o u sas the name for all users. Update the T e m p l a t e . i n p u t . e v e n t sto look like this: client.js
1 T e m p l a t e . i n p u t . e v e n t s={ 2 ' k e y d o w ni n p u t # m e s s a g e ':f u n c t i o n( e v e n t ){ 3 i f( e v e n t . w h i c h= =1 3 ){/ /1 3i st h ee n t e rk e ye v e n t 4 i f( M e t e o r . u s e r ( ) ) 5 v a rn a m e=M e t e o r . u s e r ( ) . p r o f i l e . n a m e ; 6 e l s e 7 v a rn a m e=' A n o n y m o u s ' ; 8 v a rm e s s a g e=d o c u m e n t . g e t E l e m e n t B y I d ( ' m e s s a g e ' ) ; 9 1 0 i f( m e s s a g e . v a l u e! =' ' ){ 1 1 M e s s a g e s . i n s e r t ( { 1 2 n a m e :n a m e , 1 3 m e s s a g e :m e s s a g e . v a l u e ,

Open your application in a browser. You will see that the GitHub login button is red. This is because you will need to configure the GitHub OAuth the first time you use it. Just click the button and follow the instructions in order to get your Client ID and Client Secret from GitHub.

When this is all done you should be able to login to the chat app using your GitHub credentials.

Test it in two browsers

Now, just to test the actual chatting, open another browser and point at http://localhost:3000 as well. Do not log in with this second browser. You should

When I tried to add {{loginButtons}}, I kept getting a blank page, and I was close to giving up trying to learn Meteor. Even copying the code in this tutorial directly didn't work! Finally I looked at the console, and found that I have to use {{> loginButtons}} instead of {{loginButtons}}. I don't know if this is a recent change, but none of the tutorials I've looked at use the ">".

Hi Sebastian! Thought the tutorial was the bomb, totally killed it. I'm also having log-in issues with newer versions of meteor. I log in, don't receive any errors, but my account information doesn't appear to actually get pulled, and I'm still coming up as anonymous. I'm running Meteor 0.7.0.1 and Meteorite 0.7.0.1. I heard the accounts-ui was changed again, so I would not be surprised if this has something to do with it. Anyway, I'm too lazy to figure out exactly what needs to be changed (if indeed I'm correct it fails with this version, and I am not the mistake), I got exactly what I wanted out of this tutorial, and that was a great introduction to Meteor! Kudos and much love!

That seems a bit strange. The user's name is fetched from GitHub using the Meteor package called accounts-github (so it's part of the MeteorJS core offering). Does you user have a first / last name defined at GitHub? I'm not really sure what would be displayed in case the GitHub profile does not have first or last name defined, but I would really expect e.g. the username to be displayed.

The removal of chatapp.* is not related to the error below. It's simply some syntactical error in your HTML file. Please double check with the client.html above or by checking our the example code from GitHub (https://github.com/sebdah/mete....

Just followed this tutorial and when you are logged in via github your name does not appear next to the sign out button and every time you type a message the name is 'null' instead of your name. I dont know if there was a change since you published this but wanted to bring to your attention. Meteor: 0.6.6.2 Meteorite: 0.6.15

That is the case if you don't set a public name on your profile. You can alternatively use the nickname from 'services.github.username'

I ran into the same issue, since I was using a newly-created github account. I then filled out my profile info in Github, but still had the same null display in the demo app. Then I realized that meteor seems to pull the profile details once and store them. So it was still re-using the null details that it had originally gotten from github. I wiped all my data (just used "meteor reset"), tried again with the same github account, and now my name displays correctly. Thanks for the great tutorial, Sebastian.

Tutorial: Writing your first Meteor application - Sebastian Dahlgren

Really great tutorial Sebastien, thanks! It has motivated me to go and learn as much as possible about Meteor as it seems so much more powerful than express for example, almost angular js power within a full blown framework. Very exciting. In fact, on to the next tutorial here as I've just seen the title is about routing. Perfect. Much appreciated. Just one bug in this tutorial is that the first time the input is added it has a 'name' instead of an 'id' and so the live update and keydown don't work unless you overwrite all your code as you go through which I didn't. Many thanks again Rich
