meteor-package

The Meteor framework has its own packaging system apart from npm that uses packages from atmospherejs.com. This package exists to make integrating npm packages with Atmosphere packages easy.

Define Meteor Dependencies

Inside your npm package or non-Meteor code, you can rely on a Meteor package by simply getting it in the proper environment (client or server) like this:

import { getMeteorClientPackage,  getMeteorServerPackage } from 'meteor-package';

// rely on a Meteor package on the client
const SimpleSchema = getMeteorClientPackage('aldeed:simlpe-schema');

// rely on a Meteor package on the server
const cluster = getMeteorServerPackage('meteorhacks:cluster');

If the package is missing in the specified environment, an error will be thrown with instructions on how to meet the dependency requirement like this:

$: ==> Meteor Package missing: 'aldeed:simple-schema' on client environment.
       Please run 'meteor add aldeed:simple-schema' to satisfy the Meteor 
       package dependency.
