Meteor Remote DDP
When building apps with decoupled client-code and server-code (say mobile apps, for example), your client tries to connect to its own DDP server by default. And performs all the Meteor methods (Meteor.call, Meteor.subscribe, etc.) to this endpoint.
This package just allows you to specify a remote DDP server for all of that.
Installation
meteor add gwendall:remote-ddp
How-to
RemoteDDP(url)
RemoteDDP("http://localhost:5000");
// You can now call any Meteor method (call, subscribe, etc.) and it will all point to this server
Notes
- Does not work in Cordova. To access a different server, use the --mobile-server flag instead.
- Inspired by @jamgold's solution.
To do
- Implement patch for OAUTH login (right now, accounts-facebook, accounts-twitter, etc point to client's server by default)
- Maybe monkey-patch Mongo.Collection so that it automatically picks the new Meteor.connection
