Setting up MongoDb for cluster

Open two terminal windows. In the first window run:

make mongod

In the second window run:

mongo
> var config = {_id: "meteor", members: [{_id: 0, host: "127.0.0.1:27017"}]}
> rs.initiate(config)

This command initializes the replica set. The replica set uses a log of operations, named the oplog to pass changes to other replicas. Meteor also tails this log to get instant changes across multiple applications. Seems how we are using a microservice architecture, the database for each application will be generated, however, cluster still needs this shared database to be set up for service registration and discovery.

Building app

make build

Page Layout

    {{#Layout template="Page"}}
        {{#contentFor "header"}}
          <h1>Page Title</h1>
        {{/contentFor}}

        {{#contentFor "breadcrumb"}}
            <li>
                <a href="{{pathFor 'Dashboard'}}">Dashboard</a>
            </li>
            <li>Section</li>
            <li class="active">Page Title</li>
        {{/contentFor}}

        <!-- page content -->

        <!-- page content end -->

    {{/Layout}}

Updating packages

meteor update

Note: Updating Bootstrap theme can be a bit tricky as the file lib/less/vendor/bootstrap/custom.bootstrap.import.less may need to be manually deleted so it can be regenerated with new variables requires by a newer version of bootstrap. The easiest way IMO, is to just delete the file, let it regenerate, and then look at the diff to find any changes you made previously that may have been lost. To mitigate this, put variables in lib/less/bootstrap-theme/variables.less when possible.
