Creating our own package


To create our own package, we will use our ReactiveTimer object, which we built in Chapter 9, Advanced Reactivity:

  1. We go to our terminal, in our app's folder and run the following command:

    $ meteor create --package reactive-timer
    
  2. This will create a folder named packages with a reactive-timer folder inside it. Inside the reactive-timer folder, Meteor has already created a package.js file and some example package files.

  3. Now we can delete all the files inside the reactive-timer folder, except the package.js file.

  4. Then we move the my-meteor-blog/client/ReactiveTimer.js file, which we created in Chapter 9, Advanced Reactivity, to our newly created reactive-timer package folder.

  5. Lastly, we open the copied ReactiveTimer.js file and remove the following lines:

    timer = new ReactiveTimer();
    timer.start(10);

    Later, we'll instantiate the timer object inside the app itself and not in the package file.

We should now have a simple folder with the default package.js file and our ReactiveTimer...
