@awaitbox/meteor-startup

@awaitbox/meteor-startup

Await for Meteor's environment to be ready.

npm i @awaitbox/meteor-startup --save

This assumes the Meteor global variable is available, and works on the client or the server.

The meteorStartup async function returns a promise that will resolve when Meteor's environment is ready, or resolves immediately if startup already happened.

Learn more about the Meteor.startup event in Meteor's docs.

You can use it in async functions:

import meteorStartup from '@awaitbox/meteor-startup'

async function main() {
  await meteorStartup()
  console.log( 'Ready to begin awesome!' )
}

main()

You can of course use it as a Promise:

import meteorStartup from '@awaitbox/meteor-startup'

meteorStartup()
  .then( data => console.log( 'begin awesome!' ) )

Chain values will pass through if you use it in a Promise chain:

import meteorStartup from '@awaitbox/meteor-startup'

fetch( ... )
  .then( ... )
  .then( meteorStartup ) // passes data through
  .then( data => console.log( 'use data for the awesome!', data ) )

Note

This is written in ES2016+ JavaScript. To use this in pre-ES2016 environments, you'll need to run this through a transpiler like Babel (and I recommend using the fast-async plugin to get the best results). See some tips here on wiring it up with Webpack: http://2ality.com/2017/06/pkg-esnext.html.
