So far, our buttons and forms have been highly inefficient because they are not easy to repeat, and therefore, not easy to maintain. There are two ways that we can use to make our code easier to manage:
Meteor Methods
Autoform
With Meteor Methods, we can easily create repeatable and secure functions while autoforms can identify the structure of a collection and generate form elements from it. This provides a decent layer of security without much effort as well. Autoform and Meteor Methods can be used together as well for further security.
The autoform method can be implemented through the aldeed:autoform and aldeed:collection2 packages.

They are created by using the Meteor.methods(<object-of-functions>) function and run with the Meteor.call(<function-name>, <callback function>) function.
