{% apibox "Meteor.isClient" %} {% apibox "Meteor.isServer" %}
Meteor.isServercan be used to limit where code runs, but it does not prevent code from being sent to the client. Any sensitive code that you don't want served to the client, such as code containing passwords or authentication mechanisms, should be kept in theserverdirectory.
{% apibox "Meteor.isCordova" %} {% apibox "Meteor.isDevelopment" %} {% apibox "Meteor.isProduction" %}
{% apibox "Meteor.startup" %}
On a server, the function will run as soon as the server process is
finished starting. On a client, the function will run as soon as the DOM
is ready. Code wrapped in Meteor.startup always runs after all app
files have loaded, so you should put code here if you want to access
shared variables from other files.
The startup callbacks are called in the same order as the calls to
Meteor.startup were made.
On a client, startup callbacks from packages will be called
first, followed by <body> templates from your .html files,
followed by your application code.
// On server startup, if the database is empty, create some initial data.
if (Meteor.isServer) {
Meteor.startup(() => {
if (Rooms.find().count() === 0) {
Rooms.insert({ name: 'Initial room' });
}
});
