A hack to detect if code is running in a development or production environment
Note: This is not necessarily reliable, so don't write code that will crash your spaceship if this breaks.
For this to work server-side development machines need to have a file called ~/.meteor.cfg. It can be empty or not, it just needs to be there. I said this was a hack right? (;
And in your code
if (Meteor.env.isDevelopment)
console.log('development!');
if (Meteor.env.isProduction)
console.log('production!');
For this to work client-side you have to configure production hosts somewhere in your client code (gross, I know)
new MeteorEnv({
hosts: ['myapp.meteor.com']
});
In your templates
{{#ifDevelopment}}
<p>Development!</p>
{{/ifDevelopment}}
{{#ifProduction}}
<p>Production!</p>
{{/ifProduction}}
And in your code you can write the same code shown above in the server-side example
Thanks to Tom Wijsman for figuring out a way to make this work on the client
