This repository contains the content and view code for the official Meteor tutorials at meteor.com.
Feel free to submit a pull request to improve the content!
We also maintain all of the tutorials as step-by-step git repositories here:
If you are editing the tutorials, use this simple app to view them: https://github.com/meteor/tutorial-viewer
Just edit the markdown files in /content/.
The code snippets are generated from the step-by-step git repositories which are git submodules in /repos. Each code snippet is its own commit. Commit messages follow the following format:
Step 3.1: Add some feature
You might also want to make sure that all of your files end with a newline so that you don't get an annoying "No newline at end of file" diff.
After using git rebase -i --root to massage the repository into the desired state, run the script to update the generated files:
./scripts/process-repo.rb blazeThe commit with this message can then be included in the content with the following code snippet:
{{> DiffBox step="3.1" tutorialName="simple-todos"}}You should replace simple-todos with the correct tutorial name (defined by calling DiffBox.registerTutorial).
You're done! Make sure to commit the changes to all of the generated files.
This repository is a Meteor package; it's currently not published, but you can clone it and use it as a local package in an app.
The different parts of the repository have quite different responsibilities, but they are somewhat tightly coupled so it doesn't make sense to split them into separate packages at this point.
