<\/span><\/h2>\nWe have already discussed earlier that Meteor.js has played an important role in simplifying the tasks of the web developers.<\/p>\n
Previously, the developers had to undertake the painstaking job of using both the front-end as well as the back-end languages along with the database.<\/p>\n
However, the developers feel quite relieved after the arrival of Meteor as they have to now use only one language and that is JavaScript for implementing the front-end, backend, and the database.<\/p>\n
This\u00a0can be\u00a0further illustrated through an example. Suppose if we are building \u2018collection\u2019, which is equal to a SQL table using Meteor then<\/p>\n
BlogPosts\u00a0=\u00a0new\u00a0Meteor.collection('posts');\n<\/pre>\nThus, it lets you develop a collection through a known syntax and you can control\u00a0the collection with\u00a0that known syntax as well.<\/p>\n
BlogPosts.insert({\ntitle: 'Hello World',\ncontent: 'This is the content.',\npublished: true\n});\n<\/pre>\nThe use of a single language to build an app is also advantageous from the point that a single line code runs on both front-end and backend to do things differently.<\/p>\n
It\u00a0must be\u00a0noted that if the code is running at the backend or server, it creates a collection. However, when the codes run at the front-end or the client side by default, it becomes a pure local collection.<\/p>\n
<\/span>2. Offers Facility of Real-Time Applications by Default<\/span><\/h2>\nThe mobile and web development industry is transforming with\u00a0the emergence of\u00a0new trends at regular intervals. One of the popular trends\u00a0witnessed\u00a0these days is\u00a0the introduction of\u00a0real-time web applications.<\/p>\n
In fact, social media king Facebook and Twitter have already started offering this benefit to their millions of users. The real-time applications work instinctively and as such the user do not need to open a separate page for carrying out different tasks.<\/p>\n
Before the arrival of Meteor.js, building a real-time application\u00a0was regarded\u00a0as a tough task but the framework has diminished that thought process. It\u00a0has got\u00a0the real-time feature\u00a0built in\u00a0its core.<\/p>\n
The user template data will upgrade automatically if the database gets updated. If a user is filing and submitting a form, the action takes place in real-time with much ease.<\/p>\n
So, when you are creating a web application, you get real-time apps by default.<\/p>\n
<\/span>3. The Smart Package Option is Time Savior<\/span><\/h2>\nThe Meteor.js also offers the benefit of Smart Packages that help in saving a lot of time. Let us know how.<\/p>\n
Take, for example, you are building a user accounts system using another framework where you have to follow a long process. But Meteor.js is an exception. Here the accounting system can be created by following code<\/p>\n
meteor add\u00a0accounts-password\n<\/pre>\nWhen you would run the following code, the Meteor framework would add the smart package to your project. This package needs user sign through their email and password.<\/p>\n
For all Twitter, Facebook or Google the basic command remains the same and only the name changes at last.<\/p>\n
In addition, the Meteor also offers the\u00a0accounts-ui\u00a0package that builds the client-side for the accounts system with a single code<\/p>\n
meteor add\u00a0accounts-ui\n<\/pre>\nOnce the accounts system gets the setup, it allows you to undertake any task such as the verifying the signing of current user using your templates.<\/p>\n
Apart from that, you can use\u00a0utilize\u00a0the smart packages for conduction other functions such as use\u00a0CoffeeScript\u00a0for creating applications,\u00a0the compilation of\u00a0LESS files into CSS automatically, and implantation of extras including D3.js and Bootstrap.<\/p>\n
