DDPServices

Allow easy setup of DDP connections between Meteor servers.

Package Dependencies

• meteor 1.2.1 (uses es2015 syntax)
• underscore
• ecmascript

Usage

meteor add rkstar:ddp-services

This package will look for Meteor.settings.ddpServices defined in your settings.json file. It expects the data to be formatted like this:

{
  "ddpServices": {
    "server1": {
      "ip": "127.0.0.1",
      "port": "3000"
    },
    "server2": {
      "ip": "localhost",
      "port": "3030"
    },
    "server3": {
      "ip": "127.0.0.1",
      "port": "8080"
    },
    etc...
  }
}

You can use either an ip or a hostname for the {"ip": "127.0.0.1"} property.

Methods

DDPServices.connect(server_name)

You can get a DDP connection reference back to any of your pre-defined servers.

let Server1 = DDPServices.connect('server1')

// call a Meteor.method on Server1
Server1.call('some_method_on_server1')

// use a collection maintained by Server1
let myCollection = new Mongo.Collection('myCollection', {connection: Server1})
Server1.subscribe('myCollection')

// etc...

Notes

This currently only works on the server because of the dependency on Meteor.settings integration.
