Update Guide to explain 1.7's new lazy loading capabilities

hwillson opened this issue · 5 comments

Now that Meteor 1.7 has been officially released, we'll be deploying a new Guide later today that includes a small "Migrating to Meteor 1.7" section. Once that's done, we'll likely want to update the Guide to explain how Meteor 1.7's new lazy loading package.json meteor section capabilities work. Adding something the Application Structure section of the Guide should help.

Just a note for when someone gets around to this, that the client/compatibility doesn't function at all when the entry points are defined in package.json.

Probably needs a new caveat in that section

In the spirit of closing out some of these open issues, is this something that's still needed?

I wrote an answer on Stack Overflow which describes the differences between eager evaluation, lazy evaluation, and lazy loading. Also linked in the 1.7 announcement re: custom entry points but not sure if that is enough to really fulfill the intent of this issue.

Would adding this link to the Guide be useful / enough to close this?

sounds good to me ☺️

Yeah that looks great!

Hi @alanning , yes, please. Add your link to the Guide.
